Yes, there are some things that I would like to see, like being able to modify more pieces of a movie that was uploaded and also any problems I run across I will try and fix.

Using auto inserts the generic image associated with the type of movie being played. For instance, if I url or embed a Youtube movie, and I choose auto for image, a generic Youtube image is used. I have not had any timeout issues with auto, so that is interesting.

Optikool, is your version available for dl on your site? I do not see it available. I did see your module playing divx stage6 vids, and I would like mine to do the same. I am not able to embed or url that type.


That might have just been that one instance, and maybe I had the thumb directory permission set incorrect. It was also late in the evening and I was in a hurry. I will look at it again. I just uploaded my version on my site. You can get it here... www.optikool.com

Ok, this is all starting to get a bit confusing and frustrating at the same time.

Can we get a conclusive version of this module with all the bugs fixed and working.

I started out with gestroud's version which worked and then moved to "x_movie v1.7 - custom v2.3 English" which was even better but there were issue's with certain functions just not working for me when I chose them in the admin section (using 2.2.4).

I then tried the one that test1000 posted "x_moviee1.0final.zip" which is obviously not the final.

While some things were corrected over the previous, there are more bugs in this one than the other.

Now that there seems to be some changes at hand for the direction of XOOPS and everyone volunteering to progress it, can someone adopt this module and get a correct ENGLISH version with all the bugs worked out (for 2.2.4).

It would be nice to have a nice working video module for xoops.

Also, if someone decides to adopt this, can you add a function to automatically add the video thumbnail since it is always (for youtube) "http://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEONUMBERHERE/2.jpg"

Also, a nice "front page" with a consolidated view of all the videos with ratings, hits ect, would be nice.
I still use my modified xf-section for movie's which seems to work great and has a good consolidated front page but yet it lacks some of the features that are in x_movie that I like.

Sorry for the ranting. Just frustrated.


BTW, if someone could take a php script that I am testing on another site and create a module, I'm using a GREAT
php script for videos by waxjelly.

Example of it is here

Just a thought

I'm not sure why I would choose auto but I'm sure it's there for a reason. If anybody is interested I have a version I've been working on located on my site www.optikool.com. I'm still working on it and as I find new bugs I fix them. However I probably don't use half the features so I'm not sure if I get them all. A list of issue would be nice to have though. One thing thats different with my version is the ability to add the screen size so you maintain aspect ratio. Being able to set a default screen size is nice but being able to resize your video to meet that requirement while maintaining it's ratio is better. :)

Hey wcrwcr,

Looking at the function, fsockopen, you mentioned... Looking at what calls this code and what the end result is it looks like that function just makes an attempt to retrieve the thumbnail from the site (youtube, stage6, etc). Is this a fair assessment? If that's the case you should be able to get away with just using a test to see if the function returns false or not and doing something else if it does.

Oddly enough when I tried to embed another youtube video I didn't get the error that a previous poster mentioned. This might be because of an issue in tpl_imgtype.php where it was trying to access Snoopy.php intead of snoopy.php.

Hi wcrwcr,

I use the embed feature to embed all my movies, even the ones located on my server. I haven't had a problem with it so far as long as I strip out the <object></object> tags and just only add everything inside the <embed></embed> tags. I tried adding a youtube video to test out someone else problem and found out it is in fact broken. I don't use youtube video because of the poor quality and instead use the videos from stage6, so I was only concerned with making divx movies work on my server and on stage6. But now trying to make youtube work had sparked my curiosity. Reading through the code got pretty irritating, I'm not sure why the original coder of this module didn't use templates instead of echoing mostly everything. I'm almost tempted to rewrite this module and separate the html from the php code but I promised my wife I would made a baby registry module for her site, so I will look at that first. I would like to see a feature of where you can specify the video dimensions when you submit a movie while at the same time having a pre defines dimension that will can be used to resize the video while at the same time maintaining aspect ratio. I want to incorporate the getid3 function to automatically get dimensions of video files that are uploaded and for embeded links have the user specify the dimension or parse the embed link that the user gives. If you are already doing this then excellent. :)

Hi,

I just finished the first steps in modifying this module to look the way I wanted it to look. You can take a look at it on my sitehttp://www.optikool.com/modules/cdbase/. There may be hidden features that I'm not aware of. For now I removed the comments post but I'm thinking to add that as an option in the admin menu. I also have not tested the back cover art... it probably wouldn't show up anyway because I took that portion out. In the next version I will add it back in. The Gallery for each of these artist are linked to a seperate module that I'm working on and the movies link to a third module. For now I just wanted to get this module to a working state that looks appealing. So check it out and let me know what you think. If you are interested in the module, I can make it available for download.

Hi test1000,

I'll just have to run through that code again at a later time. I'm currently re doing this cdbase module for one of my other sites, but eventually I will need to fix this problem as well because I will be using x_movies to handle the movies for the artists in cdbase.

This would be a great option if it was only limited to my site. I'm making a module that other users can use, but I don't want to tell them to modify core XOOPS just to get my module to work. Is there a way to format my code so that I can format it myself? Here is the code I have...

if ($movies !== "") {
if ($movies_target == "No") {
$moviesURL = "<a href='$movies'>"._XD_MOVIES."</a>"; $xoopsTpl->assign('movies',$moviesURL);
} else {
$moviesURL = "<a href='$movies' target='_blank'>"._XD_MOVIES."</a>";
$xoopsTpl->assign('movies',$moviesURL);
}
} else {
$xoopsTpl->assign('movies',"");
}

In this code I'm giving the user the option to set the _blank target if they wish, else keep it on the same page. Is there something I can do to tell XOOPS not to format what I created? Thanks for your help.

Hi cyborgjeff,

Your proposals sound pretty interesting. I just started looking at this module mainly because I have a few J-Pop artists I have on my site. However I didn't like the way the biography of the J-Pop artist was displayed so I started changing the display page. Somehow I start modifying the entire module so here I am working on this module. Once I have the module the way I want it I will see if I can add some of the things you are looking for. For galleries at this time I will most likely just have an option to add a link to another modules I'm helping someone else work on, xsgal. For movies I will most likely have a link to another module I modified a little called x_movies. I don't no if it has the option to add particular creator names, like the artist, so I might have to add that. once it's finished I will post it on the net and you can check it out.

Also note: I just started learning about modifying modules within the past couple months after modifying xsgal and x_movies and creating themes so it will take time to fix all the issues... it being written in Spanish isn't helping but after I'm getting there.
