    How heavy .mov files are depends on how you compress them. They look better than most .flv files, I think.
    Maybe it would be a good idea to include .mp4-files or .avi/divx-files, too?

    .mov .flv and .3gp videos are now supported in the SVN thanks to jordi-kun
  • jordi-kun Member
    @aitf311: in the revision 477, this change was lost. There is no reference in its comments so I'm not sure if it was on purpose or just overlooked.
  • aitf311 Member
    jordi-kun, what part is missing? I just checked my template-functions and the major section is still there starting on line 803.
  • jordi-kun Member
    well, it's indeed in the functions.php
  • aitf311 Member
    But whats missing?
  • jordi-kun Member
    the mov+3gp support is reverted back to only .flv videos, isn't it? you can see that in is_valid_video(), is_videoThumb() and checkVideoThumb()
  • aitf311 Member
    Would you mind patching it up and putting the php files up on the ticket? I will halt updated until I get this included. Thanks jordi.
  • jordi-kun Member
    done, all yours (ticket 54)

    Is there anyway to play AVI files with ZEN Photo?

    In version 1.1 I am not able to get a videothumb, it always shows the defaultvideothumb although I upload an image with the same name. eg. rug.flv and rug.jpg..

    I thougt this should be possible or not?
  • BertSimons Member
    in version 1.1.2 the videothumbs show up again...

    wrong post!

    There was a problem with custom video thumbs that was fixed in 1.1.2

    I need a little help modifying the video code in version 1.1.2. In my previous version, 1.0.8.2 with the video hack added manually, I was able to modify the code to display the still image of the video I had uploaded instead of the video player initially not showing anything except a black screen with the play button. The code I was using doesn't work in the new version. Here is what I had before.

    `so.addVariable("image","http://www.sunkast.com<? echo substr(getFullImageURL(),0,strrpos(getFullImageURL(),".")); ?>.jpg");`

    That would produce the URL I needed to display the image in the video player. How can I do the same thing with the new version?
  • sunkast Member
    I worked out a solution for myself. For anyone that is looking to do the same, here is what I did.

    In template-functions.php under "//ZenVideo: Show video player with video loaded or display the image." I added

    `function getAlbumLink() {

    global $_zp_current_album;

    return urlencode($_zp_current_album->name);

    }`

    Then I added a new variable to the flash video player

    `so.addVariable("file","image=' . FULLWEBPATH . '/albums/' . getAlbumLink() . '/' . getImageTitle() . '.jpg");`

    On a side note, I've found an awesome gui frontend for ffmpeg to convert my videos into FLV. It's called WinFF. It's free and can also encode other media formats.
