Just tested it out here - yep, there's a problem with remote links. I'll take a look later and push out v1.1.3 when sorted.

'Can post html' is not required, as the plugin doesn't post any html. It converts the link when the post is displayed, not when it is submitted. Put up screenshots of your plugin settings, and provide a link that doesn't work.

What's fixed in v1.1.2 fixed an issue which affected blank field content in Pages databases.

I know what you mean - that is the "original link" It's up to you what you do with the CSS - just target the new 'neavplayer' class (just added in v1.1.1) in your custom.css to do what you want with it.

I can show you the code that the link takes but it's nothing to do with the plugin at all. The plugin will take this out if 'Display original link' is disabled, and do nothing to the link if the setting is enabled. It's simply the default link that is is put in by IPS when you add an attachment. <a class="ipsAttachLink" data-extension="core_Attachment" href="http://localhost/ips_42/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=24" data-fileid="24" rel="">a2002011001-e02-16kHz.wav</a> So that is what you target via you custom CSS. If I do any further development on the plugin then I can pop an additional class in to the link that you can then target if you wished to only change links for audio/video files. Stuff it....was easy to add so update released What's new in v1.1.1: Added 'neavplayer' class to the link that is left in place in the event that 'Display original link' option is enabled for audio or video.

What's new in v1.1 plugin has had a complete rewrite to reduce duplicated code and improve performance, as well as allow easier addition of new functionality as and when needed Audio/Video player can now be displayed in the following areas: Forums Pages Blogs Calendar Messaging Announcements granular permission functionality to control a group's ability to view the player depending on the type (audio/video) and location (local attachment or remote link) of the media item Preload functionality now specific to video and/or audio, instead of a global setting Added support for the Google Chrome supported 'controlsList' attribute, which allows the hiding of certain controls in the HTML5 video player. Important: after upgrading the plugin, please review the settings to adjust them as required to introduce the permissions/location functionality. Note: There have been some reports recently of other apps/plugins seeing settings disappear/resetting after some time or on app/plugin updates. If you do experience this issue, it may be prudent to uninstall/re-install the plugin.

New topics, replies and editing of those posts should all be covered.

This is what you would expect to see on IPS 4.2.x: This is what you would expect to see on IPS 4.1.x (ignore the video reference...that's not in the live release):

The message is displayed regardless of violation or not - if you are not seeing it, via PM send me a link to your test site along with credentials to test it out (also, send me screenshots of what you have as your settings on each tab) As it's intended to display in the editor, wasn't planning on doing the above. But it shouldn't be difficult to add it in anyway - I do have an upgrade of the plugin that adds a number of additional checks but as the plugin didn't prove popular I put it on hold. I'll look at resurrecting it in the next few weeks.

Just to add some comic relief - a colleague of mine saw this topic over my shoulder earlier today. He asked what cryptocurrencies I was monitoring, and advised me to get out of the one in this post as soon as possible:

I've added a request for a 'fix' for this in the Feedback & Ideas forum:

I haven't put the resize functionality in for the audio player, as I didn't see a reason for it.....you're not looking at the audio, unlike the video. Is this something you would need then? Could you explain why, just for my own curiousity.

And it appears to be an issue with Chrome's response to the headers sent by IPS in applications\core\interface\file\attachments.php (this is a Chrome bug, more than IPS - I could reproduce this without IPS involved entirely if I changed my server's configuration to not respond to partial-content requests) Go to the following page in Chrome - 3 representations of the same file, on a page that is independent of IPS and the plugin. Test all 3, and I reckon number 3 is the one that won't work for you either. https://test.ynwa.tv/player.html If I can figure out a way to patch this without a direct file edit, and using a hook instead, then I will include it in the plugin - but this is not an issue with the plugin at all (for other's reference)

1) I am still doing my own investigation on this. 2) Go ahead...you have settings available to set the initial default size of the video player (as the admin) and a setting to allow resizing of the video player (as the user) by dragging the bottom right corner.

I can help with any questions regarding thumbnails, so that people understand that it isn't the plugin that is generating them.... @opentype is just providing you with the ability to use them. Every Youtube video will have at least 7 thumbnails automatically generated by Youtube - these thumbnails for the following video are listed below: Player Background Thumbnail (480x360 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/0.jpg Start Thumbnail (120x90 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/1.jpg Middle Thumbnail (120x90 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/2.jpg End Thumbnail (120x90 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/3.jpg High Quality Thumbnail (480x360 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/hqdefault.jpg Medium Quality Thumbnail (320x180 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/mqdefault.jpg Normal Quality Thumbnail (120x90 pixels) https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DECp8LKurKs/default.jpg There are also 2 other thumbnails that may or may not be generated, depending on the choice of the video uploader, but the above are the 7 that are always created. There are no others that @opentype can give you access to via this plugin.

OK - it's achievable for Chrome as version 58 onwards has support for an attribute called 'controlsList' which allows you to disable some items such as full screen and dowload, so I'll add that in as soon as I can (Support for that attribute appears to be limited to Chrome v58 and above, and Opera v45 and above)

Possibly - again, I'm assuming Chrome here? (knowing web browser being used, and asked about, helps immensely as each browser will have different implementations of the html5 video and audio tags)

Thanks - I'll take a closer look tomorrow when I have time, but it's in the realm of browser support by the looks of it. As mentioned several times - the plugin is designed to present the player to the user, and based on what you've stated then it is doing what it is designed to do. From there, you are in to the area of whether the browser supports the playback of that file type and codec. Anyway, I'll provide a report tomorrow on my testing and findings - I do have another theory, so feel free to ping me a link to your site where you have these files uploaded (along with credentials if needed) as I'd like to see how it looks/behaves on your site & server.

Can you clarify what you mean by 'see' and 'shown' please...questions (yes/no answers will suffice) 1) Do you see the video player displayed? Yes or no. 2) Do you see the audio player displayed? Yes or no. That's all.

I'll test Safari on the Mac in work tomorrow, but if it works in Chrome then it's likely a browser issue. Anyway..will test tomorrow. Still need to see your settings for the plugin.

Up to you - but I'd also like you to provide me with your settings and the actual files pre-upload, so that I can test them myself.

Show your settings, and provide sample files. Not much I can do with the limited information you have provided.

Update on v1.1: @liquidfractal is currently running a beta of this version, and has reported back good things so far. I've got a couple of items I want to tidy up with it before release, but to whet the appetite..... What will be new in v1.1 (when it is released)... Plugin will now convert remote links/local attachments in the following areas: Forums (including Clubs) Pages (records & comments) Calendar Blogs Announcements Private messages Ability to control whether to display the player to guests or not. currently, it is not shown to guests at all.

It's probably not something I can fix as the player behaviour is dictated by the browser, but I'll take a look anyway - what OS and browser (version please) was that being used? (I suspect it is Chrome)

Not mentioned, so no...and you already know the situation. Provide a response to the PM we have going and I will give you a final yes or no on whether it can be done. And even if it is a yes - it will not be a solution your existing issue, which is caused by the transcoding used by the files. This plugin is not the magic bullet you seek for that problem.
