Flash Media Player plugin with visual integration (play flv/mp4/mp3/aac files)

[lhansson]

Thanks for the hint.I see the difference 
but the second link doesn't work as I don't have any 15x folder. The story is that I reused the 14x folder when upgrading to 15x as I had many links out pointing on the albums. So all the pictures are in 14x/albums and that is working even that the link actually says 15x/albums there as well. Apparently the plugin for mp4 (in my case) looks at the full URL and the pictures only at a relative URL.
I've just tested to add the file into a new 15x/albums folder and now I got sound, but no picture...

I know. You have to enter the correct path for that setting.

It is absolutely mandatory that you enter the gallery URL setting properly - if you don't, you will almost certainly experience "funny" behaviours of your gallery.

I've just tested to add the file into a new 15x/albums folder and now I got sound, but no picture...

Please undo.

Hi Αndré, when you have a moment, could you take a look at an MP4 video I uploaded and see if you can give me any hints as to why it won't show the video? It plays just the audio.

My gallery is here:  http://photos.envail.com/

This is the specific video:  http://photos.envail.com/displayimage.php?album=16&pid=324

If you need any more information or anything from me, please let me know -- I read all the rules before posting and think/hope I've followed all of them!

Thank you so much,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, please upgrade to cpg1.5.8 and disable all other plugins for testing purposes.

[commonplace]

Thanks Αndré! I upgraded to 1.5.8 and uninstalled all of the plugins except this one (flash_media_player), and it still does the same thing; sound, but no video. Let me know what you'd like me to try next. Thanks again!

[Αndré]

Please try another mp4 file and make sure if it's really encoded in mp4. Maybe the current video codec is not supported by the player, as the file is no mp4 video but has that file extension.

[Αndré]

Your file doesn't work on my testbed, too, but other files work.

[commonplace]

You're right, Αndré, it's the video itself. Darn! That's the video format my Palm Pre smartphone creates its videos in, but apparently it's not doing H.264 encoding so it won't play back in Flash, period. So, there's nothing you or anyone else can do. Thanks so much for your help!

I'm trying to figure out where to change the default size of my FLV videos. I came across this post, and attempted #2. I added that code to the bottom, switching out the size I needed, but it did not work.

Just change the Coppermine setting accordingly.

You have two possibilities:
1.) Change the dimensions in the 'edit file' form (edit_one_pic.php)
2.) Set the default aspect ratio in codebase.php. Add something like

Code Select Expand

if ($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth']==0 || $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight']==0) {
   $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth'] = 640;
   $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight'] = 360;
}

I don't know if I understand the first option well. So from looking at the following line of code:

Code Select Expand

            <object type="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['mime']}" width="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth']}" height="{$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight']}" data="$player">

I tried to find where $CURRENT_PIC_DATA was in the edit_one_pic.php, but I couldn't find the different types of them - like displayed above in my code box.

I thought with the original edits for 1.4.x it was in theme.php. But after looking at everything I think I'm just confusing myself more. I need my videos to default to 512x384.

It's a good idea to upload thumbnails for your audio/video files with the Custom Thumbnail plugin.

Does that mean we cannot do the "thumb_videonamehere.jpg" method anymore?

I am switching from 1.4.x to 1.5.8 and I have tons of videos that are uploaded by this method, is that going to be a problem after the upgrade?

[Αndré]

I don't know if I understand the first option well. So from looking at the following line of code:

Use the button below your picture. No code modifications needed.

Does that mean we cannot do the "thumb_videonamehere.jpg" method anymore?

Of course you can use that method. That plugin just helps you to upload custom thumbnails, especially when you or your users upload files via http.

[ShiversOfHorror]

Use the button below your picture. No code modifications needed.

Of course you can use that method. That plugin just helps you to upload custom thumbnails, especially when you or your users upload files via http.

I know I can fill in the specific size for each video, but there must be some way to code it into it so I don't have to edit each one right?

Also, I uploaded both video and thumbnail like on 1.4.x and it didn't work for me, and I realized its probably because somehow one extra character got into the thumbnail name lol.

[Αndré]

Open codebase.php, find

Code Select Expand

$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight'] += 24;
and replace with

Code Select Expand


    $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth'] = 512;
    $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight'] = 384;
    $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight'] += 24;


[ShiversOfHorror]

Thank you Αndré, that worked like a charm.

[Αndré]

This is probably what the Custom Thumbnail script do

Yes

I have just updated my script to make :
normal_my-flv-filename.jpg

You don't need that file.

Check you have your gallery url set correctly in config. It seems to be pointing to a different domain.

Are the links at the bottom of your page intentional or were you hacked while running 1.5.6 ?

[thaefliger]

Thank you, in fact the Gallery-URL was wrong.

Which links do you mean?

I removed the actual website domain and replaced with [REMOVED] so as not to assist the SEO results here. The above is only a small example of the 250 embedded spam links you have generated from your output.
