Video player

I have been having performance problems with my host "Arvixe". My gallery is on a shared server, and load times are off the charts, with no support from host. So I installed a copy on a Godaddy shared server and to my surprise the performance is light years faster. Arvixe has not even responded to my latest support ticket.

Anyway....everything is fine except video. I can not get any video player, using any theme to work. Using same settings & database as other install.

I get this error when trying to load the Video album or image file " Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 166775674 bytes) in /home/content/55/2392255/html/gallery/zp-core/zp-extensions/class-video/getid3/getid3.php on line 1663"

The same album containing videos functions fine on my local server & on Arvixe server.

Any ideas what the problem is at Godaddy?

Or maybe another good shared host? Can't justify paying for VPS for this gallery

    You got to few PHP memory to process the video. More exaxtly its metadata. To read the metadata the video in total needs to be parsed to find that. If that is a huge 720p or bigger video that is a lot.

    Try disabling the video related metadata fields on the Zenphoto options.

    Alternatively there is a little trick to use videos from external services like Youtube as if they were local videos/images: http://www.zenphoto.org/news/using-external-sources#using-videos-from-youtube-or-other-portals

    Yes, I know how to use "class-textobject" but when using zpArdoise theme, you can not use colorbox or gallerific or the video will not display. I think I will end up using the Youtube route. Wish I could have album specific setting so video album would fall back to no gallerific or colorbox.

    I see via some searches that people have been able to get Youtube videos to open in colorbox pop up. Not sure if understand how to code it though.

    Jack Moore has instructions for Youtube here: http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/faq/#faq-youtube

    Ok, you didn't mention zpArdoise and the old Gallerific script. Any specific theme setting would be something the theme author would need to consider.

    The colorbox instructions of course apply to direct usages. To get that working with Zenphoto you would have to modify the theme. Then you could also just add support for an video album template ;-)
