I've actually got some previously used code to add "thumbnail" support to the existing rebuild feature. Which should make it into the next version but can provide a patch sooner if you can modify your files. On 20/01/2018 at 8:52 AM, The Old Man said: Hi Mike, Yes, I have FTP access to my VPS, not on IPS cloud hosting. That would be great, currently my Videos System looks very broken. Many thanks. Any news on a fix, please Mike? My videos are still showing no image thumbnails since moving to S3 and Cloudfront. The rebuild tool doesn't fix the thumbnails. If I edit a video and save it, it creates a new thumbnail but I need a bulk fix, ideally. Thanks.

I've noted this in a bug report. I'm actually in the middle of updating the Videos app now, so will be included in the very next release.

If a value is detected in the category settings, it will override the "Videos per page" video setting. On 2/2/2018 at 6:48 AM, The Old Man said: Any news on a fix, please Mike?

The Old Man Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Hi Mike, I just enabled Clubs and when adding a Video with a YouTube link, it doesn't seem to grab the Description from YT. I tried adding a video in the main Video app to compare, and the same, the video appears with the thumbnail but without a description. Is that intentional? I'm sure it used to fetch the description as well as the title and thumbnail. No biggie as the videos look nice and neat with no description but may be a bug for others? Many thanks.
Bliss99 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Have you had any customers buy this to sell video access and not just provide it?

As in automatically grab the title and description like the IPB 3.4 version did with "quick add video"? If so, watch this space.

None that I'm aware of and it's not something that has native support in the Videos app either sorry. Edited February 18, 2018 by Mike John The Old Man and Bliss99 2

eskaiter Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Hi, I wrote a script to migrate videos from vBulletin Addon Video-Directory Remixed. I mangaged to import categories, videos, comments and tags, so far. But I need help with the tags. You can see them on the video page but you can't search them. I am sure this is because I just filled table core_tags and kept core_tags_cache and core_tags_perms untouched. So my question is how to fill core_tags_cache and core_tags_cache. Is there a background routine / maintenance process I can call?
eskaiter Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Afer reindexing the searchindex the imported tags can be found. But I am stil wondering about different record counts. core_tags 12,623 core_tags_cache 10,474 core_tags_perms 10,469

The counts will be a bit different because core_tags will have a row for each tag and the other tables will have a row for each content item (video). I would of suggested using something like the "setTags" function from "system/Content/Item.php" and to loop through the videos database table. It handles all 3 tags tables for you. But if the search index rebuilt the cache and perms for you, then it should be fine.
Michael.J Posted April 14, 2018 Author Posted April 14, 2018 Videos v3.3 has been released and is the first of my major apps to receive new feature updates this year. I added several of the most popular requested suggestions including: Per category custom field support. Quick add video support. Video.JS support for uploaded videos. Improved front end design new trending, followed, discover and featured tabs .Including pagination and sorting. RSS import support for videos. IP.Board 4.3.x compatibility update. If you have any suggestions for future versions, please let me know. jair101 and The Old Man 1 1

Thanks again.
Josiah Wallingford Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Thank you for this update! I have been waiting for RSS import. Now, how do I get a youtube channels rss feed to use with the RSS import feature? I can't seem to find an easy way of doing this on google. It seems youtube has removed rss functionality.

Will see how that goes and if I need to, I can just expand the import code to support the Youtube API itself. Josiah Wallingford 1
sound Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 seems to be a flaw with the sorting of the various tabs for the front index on version for 4.2 the 'trending' display appears to be sorted via the 'tid' not 'video_trending_views' ?

Can you point me to the code your talking about? The default sort for the "trending" tab should be. $table->sortBy = 'video_trending_views'; $table->sortDirection = 'desc';

Disabling the sort options was intended but obviously it's causing issues because the sort by is checked against the sort options array. My tested was done via the date the video was added, so never noticed the sort not being applied. Logged this as a bug report and will be fixed next release.

Josiah Wallingford Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Is there a way for me to rebuild the images that are automatically generated/imported from videos? I had an issue with my images and now most of my videos from the point before correcting the images are blank.
