Support of videos for ZenPhoto

Hello all,

I have made a little hack of Zenphoto to make it support videos (flash videos actually supported).
My modifications are independant from any theme, it just displays a flash video player when it finds a video ending in .flv

I added a little feature: when you put a video called myVideo.flv in an album and a picture called myVideo.jpg, the pictures is ignored by ZenPhoto and is showed as a thumb of the video.

Well, i think it's all... The demo is here: http://la0c00n.info/zenvideo

I have not seen any topic about this sort of thing in the forum, but if anyone has already done this i apologize :)

Feel free to comment.

    very nice... how can we get our hands on this.
  • La0c00n Member
    I'm going to make a little webpage so you can download the patch.
  • koffee Member
    hurry up, i cant wait too long :)
  • La0c00n Member
    Ok, here we go...
    The webpage is online : http://la0c00n.info/zenvideo

    You will find there the archives of my patch and a little howto for installing it.

    Have FUN :)

    Are you going to mod this so you can have an album of videos or is the development stopped?
  • Tim_Hyde Member
    Very useful. Thanks a lot! :)
  • Daxeno Member
    tried it but it wont work on Stopdesign theme
  • La0c00n Member
    The development isn't stopped, i'm gonna clean the code, to make it more usable.

    I'll look to make it work with StopDesign Theme...
  • aitf311 Member
    Awesome, good to know. It works like a charm.
  • Daxeno Member
    This is the Error Message i get on the Stopdesign Theme :

    MySQL Query ( UPDATE images SET width=, height= WHERE id=230; ) Failed. Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' height= WHERE id=230' at line 1

    Please... Is there any way you can fix this? :(
  • La0c00n Member
    I'm going to release zenvideo 0.2 as soon as possible.

    I'll try to make stopdesign work with this version.

    Actually, i've re-written some parts of the code to make them more usable and more efficient.
  • Daxeno Member
    were you able to fix this? just wondering
  • La0c00n Member
    Yes, i've been able to fix this...

    Look at this post : http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=873
  • La0c00n Member
    Ok,

    I've uploaded the 0.2 versions http://la0c00n.info/zenvideo

    You can see now thumbnails of videos in the administration panel (using pictures).

    I've cleaned a lot of code, and made a full installation package.

    Please, report bugs !
  • Daxeno Member
    is there a way to make the video a little bigger? it is too minute though. :D
  • SusieN Member
    Where exactly do I upload the zip files? Inside zenphoto or elsewhere?

    Thanks!
  • La0c00n Member
    You need to extract first the zip files, then you just have to replace the older files using new ones.

    Take care of saving your albums and your configuration file (/zen/zp-config.php).
  • SusieN Member
    I've got the zip files extracted. They look just like the zenphoto files. So, I just put them in the same place (overwrite) and make sure I keep my albums and config file information the same? Gosh, is it that easy? :) I'm afraid to touch anything for fear I might ruin something. lol
  • koffee Member
    Well, It is not that hard to integrate this to "almost" any version of ZP. I have some modifications in template function etc, so I had to copy your code everywhere - and it is working!

    But, i don't know why is the video screen size so small in IE. it's about 160*120px?
  • SusieN Member
    I'm sorry I'm being so dense. It's not working for me. Should I have a zenphoto folder and a separate zenvideo folder? Or should I put the zenvideo files in zenphoto which will cause them to be overwritten?
  • La0c00n Member
    @koffee: The video player has problems for displaying with IE, i'm working to fix it for the next version of zenvideo.
    By the way, you should use Firefox :-)

    @SusieN: Yes, installing zenvideo is that easy !
    Just overwrite your current installation of zenphoto, and configure it like you did with your current zenphoto.
  • Daxeno Member
    Thanks a lot La0c00n for your efforts making this video support. it does works great in Firefox. Yet i'll be waiting for the fix for IE. i used IE most of the time. Thanks!
  • koffee Member
    @La0c00n: Of course I do, but most of my visitors have IE, so there's the problem ;)
  • Daxeno Member
    most of my visitors used the same as well... others have opera. yet i just asked them to download Firefox to view it best.
  • La0c00n Member
    Well... I don't even use Firefox but Camino which is based on a Firefox basis. I've added the support of mp3 to zenvideo, i have found too an issue for this Ie bug.

    I'm gonna release 0.3 version of zenvideo asap.

    Keep Using Firefox :-)
  • Daxeno Member
    La0c00n, this version does not support the Zenphoto 1.0.6 :(
  • nabberuk Member
    look in the following thread, http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=1058&replies=2

    It displays correctly in all browsers and gets past the "click to activate control" in IE. Plus theres tons of options for the flv player.
  • freediver Member
    I have a quick question - I would like the player bar to not hide while the video is playing - is there a way to have it show at all times and still keep the full size of the video playing as well?

    Peace...
  • altaphista Member
    Hey everybody, La0c00n,

    I have adjusted the files La0c00n provided so that the video script is compatible with ZenPhoto 1.0.6 (tested with default theme).

    Download link here: http://upload2.net/page/download/2D1NSURUjXRJLCO/zenVideoSrc_for_Zen1.0.6.zip.html

    Greetz,
    Altaphista
  • Daxeno Member
    Thanks altaphista,

    It also works in Stopdesign theme. Good Job and to La0c00n as well. :D
