Upload problem with Version 1.4.13 and Automatic Video Thumbnail Creation Mod

[gldickens3]

Hello Coppermine Engineers and Experts,

I just attempted to upgrade from version 1.4.12 to version 1.4.13.  I had previously successfully implemented the "Automatic Video Thumbnail Creation" modifications described here:

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=38774.0

These mods worked fine in versions 1.4.10 and 1.4.12, however, they do not appear to work with version 1.4.13.  That is, I have been unable to get "Batch add files" to work when uploading wmv video files with the "Automatic Video Thumbnail Creation" modification.  Everytime that I attempt to "Batch add files", the video files are not added to the data base and I get the "PB" Result error code.

Here is a summary of my efforts thus far.  I first upgraded, as per the documentation, to version 1.4.13.  Then, I reapplied all of my modifications and tested everything and found that "Batch add files" didn't work.  There are basically two files involved in this mod, upload.php and include/picmgmt.inc.php.  So, I then copied over my 1.4.12 versions of these two files and I got the same "PB" error code when I tried to "Batch add files".  Then, I copied over these two files from the original 1.4.13 release and tested them without applying the "Video Thumbnail Creation" modification at which time the "Batch add files" worked perfectly.

In the process of this episode, I enabled the debug mode as recommended in the Upload Troubleshooting section 4.11.4 of the user documentation and the Debug Info box reported the following with the "PB" error code when the "Batch add files" failed:

It is quite possible that I am doing something wrong, however, I am fairly certain that I have reimplemented these modifications correctly especially since the 1.4.12 versions of upload.php and include/picmgmt.inc.php do not work either (with the 1.4.13 code base) although they worked fine in the preceding overall implementation of 1.4.10 and 1.4.12.  All the while, the new 1.4.13 version works fine when unmodified.

Please reply and let me know how that you recommend that I proceed.  I would like to get these mods working again with version 1.4.13, however, I will otherwise need to revert back to the overall 1.4.12 implementation.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I failed to also mention that the "Automatic Video Thumbnail Creation" modifications to the upload.php file generated preview thumbnails for video files during the "Batch add files" process in prior versions 1.4.10 and 1.4.12.  However, this feature is not working either with version 1.4.13.  The preview thumbnails created with the modified upload.php are now the generic (wmv/mov/mpeg) thumbnails instead of having been generated from the video frames themselves.

Thanks,

Gordon

Should I have posted this support request in a different area of the Coppermine forums such as Modifications/Add-Ons/Hacks, Support/cpg1.4.x Support/cpg1.4/Install or possibly somewhere else? 

Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum area.

Hopefully, someone will respond soon.

Thanks,

Gordon

Yes - you should have posted this issue in the same thread where the mod is described.

Anyways my wild guess is that you didn't applied the mod properly to the upgraded cpg1.4.13. Make sure that you modified all the mentioned files. There isn't any difference (functionality and codebase wise) between cpg1.4.12 and cpg1.4.13, so the mod should work on both versions.

[gldickens3]

Thanks for your reply.  I will go back and re-implement the mod again.  Hopefully, I will get it right this time. 

Again, sorry that I didn't post this thread in the proper forum area where the mod was described. If you would like then feel free to move this thread to where ever it would be more appropriate.

Thanks again,

Gordon

Ok, I went back and re-implemented the mod and it still does not work.  Just as before, I get the "PB" error code when I add any video clip with "Batch add files". I have now applied the mod three times without success so I feel certain that I am doing the mod correctly especially since I successfully applied the mod previously in versions 1.4.10 and 1.4.12.

Tail between legs, head low and groaning. I solved my own problem.

The albums/edit directory's permissions had somehow gotten changed.  Once that I changed the permissions of the edit directory back to 777 then everything started working.

Thanks for your help.  I apologize for taking up space on this forum with such a stupid  mistake.
