Hey MK, I’m looking to revamp Eternal Gaze, and port it over to EE, so this would be perfect. If beta test is still open…

cheers, mlh

Having some issues actually embedding the video in an entry (they are uploading correctly though). Any way to jump back into Basecamp with you guys?

This snippet does not return anything, although I can confirm it in the module CP.

{exp:video:entries related_id="882" thumb_height="90" thumb_width="90" type="weblog" dynamic="off"}
   {thumb}
   {
/exp:video:entries}

UPDATE: it works when i remove the type="weblog" parameter
UPDATE 2: but the video is incorrect, i.e. it is showing the wrong video. It looks like it’s a default video or something, as it doesn’t look like the file variable is getting passed to the embed string:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="movie" quality="high" wmode="transparent" src="http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/blipplayer.swf?autoStart=false&file;=" width="425" height="350"></embed>

EDIT 3:

$sql = "SELECT video_id FROM exp_video_entries WHERE preview != 'y' AND id != '' AND video_type LIKE ('weblog%') AND related_id = '".$IN->GBL('entry_id','POST')."'";

OK, the video_type LIKE (’weblog%’) looks suspect maybe?

Think I found it. Looks like the videos query is duplicating the url field in its call when it calls the member fields as well (there’s a ‘url’ field in the members table). The resulting recordest contains two url columns, the second of which is the member’s personal url.

EDIT: Yep, confirmed this was the error. I updated the query on line 1260 in mod.video to just extract the member fields I wanted:

$sql =  "SELECT v.*,
     m.member_id, m.group_id, m.weblog_id, m.username, m.screen_name, m.occupation, m.interests, m.avatar_filename, m.avatar_width, m.avatar_height, m.ip_address, m.join_date, m.last_visit, m.last_activity,
     md.*
     FROM exp_video_entries v
     LEFT JOIN exp_members m ON m.member_id = v.author_id
     LEFT JOIN exp_member_data md ON md.member_id = m.member_id
     WHERE v.preview != 'y' AND v.site_id = '"
.$DB->escape_str($PREFS->ini('site_id'))."'";

Now I’m starting to feel like the whiny bitch in this thread smile
Just a question/concern to raise with the thumbnail. Are we bandwidth hogging by pulling the thumb from the originating video site? Or is this expected as part of their embedding process?

Hey Don,

I’m thinking that those video sites expect the bandwith hogging. A thumbnail is nothing compared to embedding a video afterall.

Are you still accepting beta testers?

I am updating a non-profit’s website over the next few months and this sounds ideal.  It has a showcase section that encourages people to submit their work (art, music, film).  This will be very helpful as I didn’t want the videos hosted on their site anyway.

Hi Joobs,

We actually found some pretty dastardly bugs in the module and have not had a chance to correct as we’re under the gun with some other projects.

Would you mind checking back in a couple of months? I’m very sorry.

Hi,

Just to say I’d be more than interested in a Video module.

There is lots of interest in this thread so I think others are also keen.

Thanks

It has not. wink
We’re waiting until EE 2.0 is released, then we will further the development on it

God, the wait is eteeeeeeernal.

Add Dailymotion support, and I’m buying it. We’ve got a contract with Dailymotion and it’s the only platform we use for our video content.
