ToeJam Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Zheck, thanks for chiming in. Even if I go back as admin to edit that out, nothing changes

In case I missed this, I logged it again and should be able to squeeze it in the upcoming update.

Netherlord Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 I'm not sure if i mentioned this before but could it be made so that the Videos tab in profiles is hidden if a user has not posted a video. TimTheMiles 1
LDDG Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I basically have ONE need and only ONE need: To be able to upload videos such as mp4, mpg and avi while creating a new article post in IP.Content. Once uploaded and the post is published, allow the users to be able to see the video displayed inline such as when you paste a YT link into a post and the user can simply play it within the post. In other words, play the video inline and not by clicking a link and opening another page or app to play the video. Is this possible with this Videos application? 98% of my users are on mobile, so this needs to work in mobile and tablet browsers. Looking forward to a response! TimTheMiles 1

Joey_M Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) @Mike John Would you please enable a feature that would ineffectively pull videos from an RSS, then que them up to be finalized either manually or automatically? YouTube has an RSS feed for channels, I would like avoid manually adding one's for my fan site to save time (also if possible to have a auto description which is the same that would be very handy). It would be nice if we could replace the thumbnail for the discussion to automatically embed the video instead. You'd be surprised by how much of an impact this can have on the videos views. Inside the video section, you attract x but in the discussion people are not only inclined to comment but also view it. Edited September 12, 2016 by Joey_M

If I'm understanding this right. Then no I don't believe it would work as there is no current Pages integration like you need. 1 hour ago, Joey_M said: Would you please enable a feature that would ineffectively pull videos from an RSS, then que them up to be finalized either manually or automatically?

I'll save it for a future version but won't be possible until the next major version is released. Netherlord, TimTheMiles and Joey_M 3
Netherlord Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Possible bug? new videos has messed up rows for me. Seems to be caused by the views part being too long. removing that part in my browser fixes it. Edited September 13, 2016 by Netherlord
Joey_M Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 That would be awesome @Mike John. I think it could be delegated to team members to add videos that are cueing from the RSS feed. Thanks =)

I've got two other mentions also. Nothing serious but i noticed it. Issue 1: LOCATION: Viewing a video entry as a guest - The Sign in to follow this text section seems to be massive in comparison to the same text on a thread. also sometimes it seemed to affect the follow button css next to it on a video page also. Issue 2: Meta tag related! If i share a video page from my site, and the video is a youtube. It will embed as a image on all sites but facebook and twitter. On twitter it embeds as a youtube video. But on facebook it embeds as youtube video with blank video content. so when people click to play the video i linked it just plays white screen and nothing more. No redirect to the site etc. Not sure if this is a fb issue though. Edited September 16, 2016 by Netherlord

The video still gets posted it just shows an Error every time making them think it was not posted and then they send me messages saying it's broken. Now this doesn't happen for Administrators, but for all the other Members Groups it shows the Error. Also the same members groups receive this configuration Error when trying to see click the (Videos) Tab on any of the profile pages on the website. Not really sure why, but Admins do not have this issue. Only everyone else on the website. I sent you the full Error in a PM message

TheGreyWizard Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Does this plugin also work with Vimeo or only Youtube? I will probably upload my videos to both platforms but would prefer to run a Vimeo player on the site since it has an ads free package I can pay for as a channel.

A quick way to see if the Videos app supports any particular video site is to paste it into a post and see if IPB4 turns it into an embed code automatically. If it does, then the Videos app supports that particular site. Here is a rough copy from the source code itself on the current oEmbed sites IPB4 supports.

Michael R Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Is there a way you can disallow the video's URL in the description field? I know this is stupid, but you would be surprised how many of my users add the URL there. They also tend to only put it there and wonder why they get an error when they don't add it to the URL field...

It might be possible to add some custom validation to the description field to check for any matches for the media url. I'd need to write up some custom code to do this, can you PM me about this in a few weeks to remind me when I've got more time?
Joey_M Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 @Mike John: Some reason my last video failed to generate a thumbnail for the application, however it only seems to be an issue with the widget on my home page. Would you be able to explain how I can regenerate it please?
Michael.J Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 Are you still having issues or is it fixed itself? If only the widget is affected, you can rebuild the widget cache by logging in again or even removing the widget and adding it again.
TheGreyWizard Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get this plugin installed, I just downloaded the file. According to this read me:http://www.devfuse.com/forums/tutorials/article/162-install-application-guide/ It says I need to install a tar file through the AdminCP? I just downloaded this zip file, unzipped it and the only thing inside is an Install Read Me, Upgrade from 3.x and another video zip file - but no tar file. When I unzip the 2nd video zip file, I get a bunch of files, but still no tar. So how do I install this plugin? Edited October 6, 2016 by TheGreyWizard

Nevermind it was my computer having winzip that was giving me the issue with not seeing the .tar file - it is successfully installed and all is well! Is there any way to insert the video widget inside of say a blog or article, or attach the reel somehow like you can do with the gallery? That would be really nice instead of having to copy and paste the youtube code in your blogs/articles Is there anyway to change the URL from https://www.ohiocannabis.com/forums/videos/ to just OhioCannabis.com/videos ?

Although you might want to hold off as there is currently a bug affecting furls.
