I assume you have ftp access to your files? I can probably give you a patch to modify this until a future update adds this. On 10/28/2020 at 4:10 PM, HDiddy said: We use this mainly for uploaded video and it is unfortunate that it doesn't automatically create a thumbnail for the video using a screenncap. That said is there a way to disable the option to upload a media poster? Most of our users think that is a thumbnail and are constantly uploading thumbnails to media posters which makes the admins have to go back and create them. You can disable this in the group permissions. On 10/31/2020 at 12:31 AM, Sheffielder said: Couple of things having installed, used, and really liking this plug in 1) All my posts made in forums automatically are made by random members and not the member I designated in the admin CP? That causes great confusion as members post 'I didn't post that!' etc 2) It would be great for an embed in forums instead of a thumbnail 1) For the rss import? 2) There is an %EMBED% quick tag you can use in the video topic instead of the thumbnail. On 11/8/2020 at 1:19 AM, Joey_M said: @Michael.J: Can you please add a way for imports to bypass the topic creation, meaning that we can disable them from being created. If a topic hasn't been generated, via the video page - could it be generated by someone with moderation powers? I plan to import videos from the community and, it would mean loads of discussions are automatically generated. Some will be pointless, so disabling it would be wise but at least I can click to generate a discussion from the front if I so wish. Until I add a setting for this, I could probably provide a file edit that skips topic creation for rss imports if you want?

And the renewal price is $20 per year. But when I go to renew it, I only get the option to buy it again at $45 per year. I don't really have that kind of control over the marketplace. So you will need to contact them to see why you can't renew. If they can't help, I'll process this manually via Paypal if you would like.

Yes, please. Apologise for being a pain whilst you're busy, but I would appreciate this edit as I can manually add videos I want to discuss. 🙂

Yannick Lamarre Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Hello I find error on the code. My website is on https by default. When I upload a video file (local file), the wide value can't work. I check the error browser console and I see the problem. http://vjs.zencdn.net/6.6.3/video-js.css is not on https. I change it on the file applications/videos/modules/front/videos/view.php Now it's working!
Bendensin Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Disregard. Can't delete. Edited December 28, 2020 by Bendensin
ToeJam Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I just updated to the latest 4.5 Update and I can't install, I get the "Something went wrong. Please try again."
DannyPhantom Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Last time I had upgraded an old community and I'd like also to update your video app, but when I try to update over the marketplace I run into this error: How I could upgrade this, without loosing all content?

Nathan Explosion Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Go to your application listing - do you have the existing "Videos" app displaying as a 'Custom' app? If so, then raise a ticket with IPS requesting assistance with associating the application with the MarketPlace entry.
Durango Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Hi @Michael.J Google SEO massive issue : Google is indexing thousands of urls like /videos/list-all/?listType=list&csrfKey=d2aff8dd416cd4c766905af3279ba8de solution ; add a canonical to /videos/list-all/

Interferon Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Okay, I got the RSS feed working like this: echo('<media:group><media:content url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v='); echo($vid); echo('" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390"/>'); echo('<media:thumbnail url="https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/'.$vid.'/hqdefault.jpg" width="480" height="360"/>'); echo('</media:group>');
Interferon Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I am seeing a number of bugs but the application is nice to have. Edited February 12, 2021 by Interferon
Interferon Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) The videos per page setting is stuck at 25, and does not seem to obey either the category or global setting for this value. --Edit This was caused by another plugin. Edited February 14, 2021 by Interferon

Durango Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Hi @Michael.J We found another bug : when translating Videos to other languages, there some strings that can't be translated on the dropdown : "Sort by" "Video title" "Date added" "Views" Your app wont take ACP translations into account for those strings Can you fix this ? thank you
maddog107_merged Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 @Michael.J Since I paid for the custom development/creation of "Topic Attach Thumbnails" by any chance could you send me an updated version that works with 4.5? I see it on the marketplace but I haven't been able to get in touch via PMs. Thanks.

Joey_M Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Automated videos are now showing as they're posted by a guest on the 'who replied last' and inside the topic. It does show the right username on the forum index page but across to the right it does not with the who replied last.

If you edit the video as an admin, does it correct the last post info? Edited March 23, 2021 by Michael.J

Sorry, @Michael.J - I have just edited one of the topics hat appeared as a 'guest' and yes, if I edit the topic as an admin it does correct itself. Hope this helps.

Not private of course but I have come to know it is a general problem IPS is trying to handle with Facebook embeds. On another note, is there a way to show videos posted in Videos as embedded rich media in Activity streams instead of plain text?
