the way the media plays is incredible

a bit off topic but I wish I had a player like this for downloads app from IPB. I use downloads to sell videos but users can't play on their iphone. This might fix that.

anyway back to this plugin, I have a question.

Is there a way to make it so private videos can be setup so that video clip owner can issue permission to view user by user on a case by case basis? Say I upload a clip and I want to give specific viewing permissions to a private clip to only a select few users. Can I do this?

I will be getting the downloads and other apps soon so I will be able to do all that for it then probably.

At the minute they can only view the private ones them selfs but I don't think it will be too hard to add that feature, and in the my media bit put a edit section to add the members, I will look into it and get back to you in a day or 2

not really, I just watched the video and read what that one does and it's more for the forums and topics etc, Mine is for the members, there is no category permissions etc its either share or keep private, Like above I am going ro try and add a feature where you can allow selected members to view your private files and a couple other things

Already in my mind, but I want to try and make it so they can be read and downloaded, Like how we view the files now maybe be able to view .xml .pdf .txt  files and so on but that's still untested and untried at the minute

Updated to 1.0.1

NEW FEAUTRES

• Members can now set their private uploads to be viewed by their selected members

Regardless of the admin settings of viewing and downloading, if the uploader has given other members permissions to view they will be able to view and download the files (This was done on purpose)

The PDF will come soon, I actually done everything for it and it worked perfect on localhost then once installed on my site it didn't show as the server permissions denied access to the file, (localhost was fine) I will need to look into it a bit more and see what's what

Hi,

I was wondering if this app has the ability to "pop-out" the playback, so for example, you could select to play an uploaded mp3 then click the "pop-out" button and it would open in a new window and continue playing in that window while you were browsing the site in the original window.  (Does this make sense?)

I also wondered whether you may consider integrating some form of reporting into it, such as an approx geolocation and/or date/time it was downloaded / played, and make this information visible to the uploader..  If thats at all possible?

Thanks

Adam

At the minute it dont have pop out functions, I could look into it and see what I come up with, and yeah I am sure I can set a new table what collects infomation about the downloads played list etc.

Too be honest this I made this for someone as a Image uploader what gave out links for them to share on the internet (a bit like the old one for 3.4) then I decided images was just boring to release here so added videos and audio then took away the share / embed links and made it more for the site its on then others, I will give what you say a go within the next couple of days and see what I come up with, I was thinking aswell maybe a little section to add a description to them too

Hi @TheJackal84

I've just added this to my site, but whenever I try to access it from the front end, i am being redirected to the admin CP and getting an error "2S100/6 The page you requested does not exist"

Any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks
