[MOD] Media sites v1.11.1 (2010-12-22)

[dobster]

Message send. I am wondering what is wrong...

[dobster]

I do not want to bump this message but have you got any idea what is wrong?

[V@no]

I've added troubleshooting section, for some not so obvious issues

In case someone else experience the same problem, make sure you added needed extensions in Step 4.

Megavideo.com dont work:
Video: http://www.megavideo.com/?d=UN6NIGRS

[V@no]

it only works with v= type videos:
http://www.megavideo.com/?v=9RAADPVW

I don't know what is "d=" type and it seems most of the videos are v= type anyway...

[Sunny C.]

[V@no]

if you can explain, or at least provide some information what this "d=" query is, perhaps I could consider add support for it

[Sunny C.]

Hello Vano,

the "d" is for "Download" and the "v" ist for "Video"

Look: This is the Video-Link: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=4WX1OEGD
Look: This is the Download-Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UN6NIGRS, but you clicking on "View on Megavideo" then is the d.

V + D is the same File

Sorry for thus <i>tra-la-la</i>ing english ^^

[V@no]

Ok, the support for download megavideo links was added in v1.10

- ADDED: {media_ext} and {media_ext_icon} tags can be used to display file extension icon
- ADDED: vevo.com support (no autoplay)
- ADDED: megavideo "download" type urls (d= instead of v= url query)
- FIXED: in some cases fetching thumbnail could fail and corrupt already retreved data of the video
- FIXED: rutube.ru thumbnail creation

To update, re-do Step 1 and Step 4

Hi V@no,

One question: it's not easier to add a text area and paste the entire (specific for each site) embed code, generated by each site? Instead of creating support for each one separately. Because the number of video sites is huge and it grows every day...

Easier - maybe, safer - definitely not.

If you allow users submit html code, it would equal to give them administrative rights for your gallery.

Ok,

But if you add some limitations? For example: "do not save/execute embed codes if they are not from following sites: youtube.com, vimeo.com, google.com, etc". And the admin can add from the ACP witch sites are allowed.

Also, maybe it's better to add this option for admins only in ACP, or for some group (trusted user) in front end.

Then you loop back to this kind mod...this mod does exactly that - limiting

[Bogdan]

True, but in the same time my proposal it's limiting, but gives you freedom... more sites.

[V@nо]

I still don't see what "freedom" you are talking about, the requested script will have to support all the "allowed" sites, it will have to recognize if the site is allowed or not, it would be exactly not much different then as it is now...
