You can in ACP > System tab > Advanced Configuration > Friendly URLS tab (If you need help with a few examples, let me know). Although you might want to hold off as there is currently a bug affecting furls. So how can I simplify the url to just www.ohiocannabis.com/videos? I want to drop the Forum out of the URL And is this a bug within your video plugin for FURL, or within the IPS suite? Edited October 10, 2016 by TheGreyWizard
TheGreyWizard Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 And yes I'd like to add video to blogs & articles etc. But the "Insert other media" only seems to do images, not videos? I can paste the youtube url, but they alway seem to favor to the left and if I could use your video player/plugin as much as I can on the website vs just pasting youtube links.

The bug is an IPS bug and seems to be affecting all apps at this stage. Hopefully IPB 4.1.16 fixes it.

We've been having problems with submitting Videos since integrating Collaboration App as well. I've talked with @Mike John a few times about it, and he said he should have it fixed soon Chris59, W4L and pidje 3
W4L Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I have been having problems with submitting Videos since the upgrade also
Michael.J Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 It looks like IPB 4.1.16 made some changes to both embed and thumbnail generation. I've put together a bug report with included patches here. The next version of the Videos app that fixes all this should be done within a week. Chris59 and W4L 2
Michael.J Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 I've just updated this app with several crucial bug fixes and compatibility with IPB 4.1.16. See full list of bug fixes here. Chris59, TimTheMiles and The Old Man 3
The Old Man Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Awesome, thank you as always Mike. Michael.J 1
Bendensin Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I am also having trouble with videos not playing in Facebook after I share them using the Facebook button at the bottom. I thought it might be an issue with guest permissions. When I went to fix the guest permissions, I saw this: It is the same with all groups--there are no permissions being displayed for me to set. Just the statement "There are no rows to show yet."

TheGreyWizard Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Getting an error of "Problem generating embed code" I've posted several videos and have not had any issues up until today when trying to post another youtube video and I'm getting the error of "problem generating embed code" What is causing this and how do I fix it? Thanks.
TheGreyWizard Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 I've tried multiple ways, did this plugin get screwed up with their latest update?

TheGreyWizard Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 That's exactly what I needed, now everything works like usual. Thank you!

Then no I don't believe it would work as there is no current Pages integration like you need. I'll save it for a future version but won't be possible until the next major version is released. Did you make any progress with pulling from RSS. I think it would be really useful for my community! Edited November 9, 2016 by Netherlord The Old Man 1

Any way to add a piece of text if no description is added? So it wont pick a random site meta description!

Edit: Looks like that did not fix the fb share issue! still plays blank white video when clicked! Also my meta tag issue! If a video has a description it includes it in the meta tags when sharing but if no description is added then when i share it the description reverts to text from the donations app. So when i post videos without a description it looks like i am begging for money not a good position. Any idea's? Edited November 14, 2016 by Netherlord

Yeah I understand, if you haven't added a description it's gotta use something. Any suggestions and can include a file edit to use some other video data?
The Old Man Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Hi Mike, I have a member who posts great YouTube and Vimeo videos into to a long running topic and I'd love for the videos to also appear in the Videos System which sadly isn't used much by my members. Is there an option available in Videos System that I could use quickly post selected videos in existing topics as videos in Videos System? I don't want to have to recreate them manually from scratch when the data needed already exists in the topic posts (name of video, contributor' video URL etc etc). Something like Post/Share As Video, which would add the video to a category in my Videos System? Many thanks.

I messed around for a little while. sadly the same. -- I'm not sure but would i be right in suggesting that youtube videos should fake a video look in fb share. (that might be easier?) have it display the thumbnail image and title. And when clicked just jump to the video viewing page. Just seems like it might fix this issue?

I checked again fully! Went through edits again to make sure nothing was wrong. When you paste a link it is an image that when clicked takes you to the video page. This happens in the debugger and in the embed as you post in editor on facebook. BUT once the share is posted. It no longer follows that and reverts to playing a white video. This seems to have fixed it for me. /* Add thumbnail to meta */ if( $video->thumbnail ) { \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['og:image'] = \IPS\File::get( 'videos_Thumbs', $video->thumbnail )->url; \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['meta_imagesrc'] = \IPS\File::get( 'videos_Thumbs', $video->thumbnail )->url; \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['og:image:width'] = "398"; \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['og:image:height'] = "224"; } if( $video->video_type == 'media_url' OR !$video->video_type ) { \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['medium'] = "video"; } Edited November 19, 2016 by Netherlord Michael.J 1
