(NE) HTML5 Audio/Video Player

[Kinzer]

You want access to the board to show you the issue? The board is pretty locked up and hasnt even launched yet, just been working on it a couple months. Launching a board in 2021 is only 13 years late so it must be special. Here is a public mp4 you can test with if that helps https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2021/2021-07/01/0f91a225-cdda7716-7a3830d4-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4

 

Thanks

Yes please - a link to the post containing the code created via the API (happy for you to send link, and any login credentials to be able to view, via PM)

My application operates on the content of the post, manipulating it - I need to see the rendered HTML of a post that has been submitted via the API. Not the method used to create it, but the actual creation.

Once I see that, then I can probably suggest a change to your own API code.

Thanks - add rel="external" to your <a> tag:

$data = array('forum' => '21', 'title' => $gameHi[$win]['Title'], 'post' => "<a href='$Hi[$win]' rel="external">$Hi[$win]</a>", 'author' => '1');

That should sort you out - let me know if it doesn't, and I'll check that link again for newer items.

I am not seeing a video showing up.  The screen looks like this

And here is the url

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Quick check from an iOS device, and here is what it looks like:

Why? MOV files play natively on iOS, and I would expect Mac too. But on other platforms, you are going to need a codec on your machine/device that can handle the MOV format.

This is not really an issue with my application - I will be taking a look to see why it displays that way on your screenshot (collapsed to that single line), but if it won't play then that's not something I can, or will, help with.

[Nathan Explosion]

And here is what it looks like on my Windows 11 machine, in Firefox:

It plays, but sound only (common occurrence with MOV files on machines that don't have the required codec)

However, on Chrome:

Testing locally, and mov 'works' in all browsers (displays the player) however Chrome initially shows a player, but then it disappears and defaults back to what you see.

 

 

 

 

Interesting - the page source contains the correct html but when inspecting the element, the html is missing the <video tag.

Digging into this one.

Right, so it's not an issue with my application - the same thing happens with the native IPS functionality (test it yourself - disable the application in your app listing, and then go back and view the post in Firefox and Chrome - see below)

However, totally unrelated - I have spotted an issue with my application, whereby it is loading an incorrect Javascript file and not the "full bells and whistles" one I actually developed for this application. So there will be an update coming soon anyway. Scratch that - forgot about the flipping back to the backend stuff I did. No update due.

Thanks for looking. 

Here is what i found on my Mac:

Chrome: Just a link

Firefox: Player with Sound

Safari: Work as expected.

And yes, it is the same with the app disabled. I'll contact IPB Support to see if they can sort this.

Thank you,

Please, please, point them at this discussion and request that they actually read it - because the moment you mention this application, they will switch to "3rd party issue" mode.

Hi there Nathan!

Planning to update IPS to 4.6 but since I have a Pages music section where I use your plugin to play audio files instead of downloading them, is there something to be done? Wait for an update or not?  

[Nathan Explosion]

Sorry, just seen that I didn't mark this one as IPS 4.6 compatible - I'll get to testing it over the weekend.

That would be cool, as I suddenly have a dire need for this application which I've been tinkering with up until now (and 4.6.x now "frowns" on version-unverified apps 😀).

[Nathan Explosion]

Testing today - initially not seeing any issues with the current version on IPS 4.6, but will do some more testing tomorrow once back at my dev machine.

Testing finished - not seeing any issues. Resource has been marked as IPS 4.6 compatible , and is pending review before it will appear as installable on that version. Existing installations don't need an update if running the current 2.1.1 version.

If anyone does spot a problem, please report it here.

Update

@Nathan Explosion Hey Nathan, just added this to rockmachine.org and uploaded an mp3 file to the test forum but nothing is showing.  I believe all the settings are OK:

And in the post:

And editing:

Pointers, help, tips, tricks, anything to get it working thanks 🙂

 

[Nathan Explosion]

I'll look into it over the weekend.

[Nathan Explosion]

Decided to take a day off today, so the weekend started early.

This was fun to figure out - will upload a new version to fix the issue, but if anyone has the following specific situation then contact me via PM for patch details:

1. Self-hosted
2. Is comfortable with downloading a file via FTP, editing it and uploading it.
3. Using IPS 4.6.x
4. Using v2.1.0 or v2.1.1 of this application
5. Audio file attachments added to content are NOT converted to a player even though configured

Edited September 3, 2021 by Nathan Explosion

[Nathan Explosion]

v2.1.2 is currently pending approval

• FIXES
  • Fixed issue affecting IPS 4.6.x where audio file attachments would not be converted to an audio player despite configured to do so
  • Fixed issue affecting IPS 4.6.x where 'Permissions' page in ACP would trigger an error if PHP 8 was in use
• CHANGES
  • None
• NEW
  • Nothing

@Nathan Explosion ran the update and it works a treat and have added a file on rockmachine.org to try it out. Brilliant! 🙂

• Announce type: Content, (also does not work with "Link to URL")
• Select: Show to all
• Select: show everywhere
• Type: Floating bar at the top of the page

Then provide it by PM.

I need the actual content of the announcement itself.

Please also provide your permissions information.

Once you have provided more detail then I will look into it on Friday, when I have a day off from work.
