I had an issue with my images and now most of my videos from the point before correcting the images are blank. Nevermind. I found it the rebuild thumbnails button under "Media Sites". I thought it would appear in "Media Imports". Link to comment

Josiah Wallingford Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Can we move a feed to a club's video list? From the feed I don't have clubs as an option when selecting the parent category: Or maybe the better question is how do we allow club members to create a feed of videos for their club to say their YouTube cannel?

Will see how that goes and if I need to, I can just expand the import code to support the Youtube API itself. Integration would be very nice. Is it possible to get all of the old videos from a feed or a custom amount of old videos? Link to comment
Codehusker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Is there any way to link multiple videos together? If a long video is divided into multiple parts, is there an easy way to guide a user from part 1 to 2 to 3? Link to comment

What is your feed source? If it only contains 20 or so videos, then that's the limit on how far back the Videos app can import unfortunately. 3 hours ago, Codehusker said: Is there any way to link multiple videos together?

Not currently and I'm not sure if I could realistically make it as seamless as you might expect. If there was a "playlist" of videos for example, you would probably need to click "next" manually rather then have it triggered at the end of the video playback. Link to comment

Also for some reason I have one feed that shows 0 videos when there are many. As if it is not seeing any videos in the feed. I have double checked that I have the URL correct (unless YouTube changed something... again). Link to comment

Josiah Wallingford Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Well I am eating my foot now. It is now showing the videos. Here is the URL I am using: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PL2qaJV87yz4JwLKZFaqygbjXJoqf43nlr If a video or the videos description changes on youtube will that change be reflected on my site?

No. It's just like the rss forum import. The data is copied across but not synced with the source rss feed. A sync between import and Youtube would probably be best suited to a proper API import. Ideally if Youtube has an API for recently modified videos. But I would need to see some substantial interest/support for this before committing to it. Josiah Wallingford 1 Link to comment

Mike, It's been a long time and I've sent a few reminders, and although you did warn me in early April against updating to avoid breaking your temporary patch after beta testing for you, in a moment of madness I reactivated the Videos app again. I'd lost a lot of links in Google and was getting all these 403's on my server, so I upgraded Videos for better 4.3 compatibility to the current version and of course, it's now broken my All Activity Stream again (as the 'discover' furl is being used by Videos). I know you're so busy with so many mods and life, and I recently extended my subscription for Videos at your site again (no biggie). Amazing service over the years, you were always my favourite Marketplace dev and continue to be, you've never had the ego issues that a lot of devs sadly display, but unfortunately I'm going to have to disable and ditch Videos for good. All the best my friend. Michael.J 1 Link to comment

I don't mind refunding any renewals or I hope you might re-consider continue using the Videos app. And I'll extend your subscription to make up in a small part for the delays.

Michael.J Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 The Videos app has been updated with a dozen more bug fixes. A few advertisement locations have been added as well as an option to import videos into clubs as well. 4 hours ago, The Old Man said: Thanks Mike, much appreciated as always. I had to completely change the furl string causing issues but the upgrade routine should rebuild the furl for you. If not, please PM me with admin login details and I can manually force a rebuild.

Josiah Wallingford Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) 16 hours ago, Mike John said: as well as an option to import videos into clubs Awesome! So, how do I move my feeds and the videos that have already populated into the club I have created that it would be a better place for? Here is what I am doing, and hopefully doing correctly. Create a Videos feature in the desired club. Edit the feed to point to the clubs new videos feature. Select all the videos from the feed that reside in the previous category and move them to the new club videos feature. Delete the old category.

Josiah Wallingford Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Feature Request: Tags to be automatically applied to feed imports. This will work much better for us than the title prefix. It would also be very nice if we could have those tags automatically get added to videos that were already imported but I understand if this is not possible. Feature Request: Allow clubs to import feeds into their videos features. Feature Request: Allow feeds to be added to categories from the front end for those users with permission to do so. This would be a separate permission from the clubs import. I want any club owner no matter what group they are in to be able to import a feed into their club but not into the videos categories outside of their club.

DanLemX Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Hey Mike, Wondering if you can fix a couple of things in the video app when it comes to the Clubs? Couple things I noticed with clubs and videos: When in a club video category, the breadcrumbs don't show that you are in the club. And when you click on Add video, the Club header disappears When adding a video into a club, and then you click on the "Category" drop-down, the Club categories are not showing, except for the current category and non-club categories. Loving the app, and would like it even more if these little bugs would be worked out. Thanks for your continued support for this useful app Edited June 3, 2018 by DanLemX grammar Michael.J 1 Link to comment
