Hi,

I have installed the class text object plugin.
I have defined the zpmobile theme for mobile and tablet.
I have built my txt file, beloging the video file (mp4)

here is the content of the txt file :
<video width="80%" height="80%" controls>
<source src="//www.ormaa.name/zen/albums/Videos/alexis-9-mois-part-II.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

when I run my website ion a PC, using the zenpage theme : perfect !

when I run my website on my iphone :
the small thumbnail, just before seeing the video : nice.
the rectangle showing the video, in the page : too big.
it is bigger than what the iphone can show.
if I force the width and height to a small value : the video player is smaller, but located on the right of the screen, and a little bit out of the screen.

question :

how, where, I can fix this ?
can I add something in my txt file ?
can I update the theme ?
or oin the class txt object itself ? where it is ?

any help will be an enormous gift :o)

thanks
Olivier

Hi,

I give my answer.
I hope it is a good solution. please tell me if I do something wrong.

here is my solution :

<div style="float: left;">
<video width="98%" height="98%" controls>
<source src="//www.ormaa.name/zen/albums/Videos/alexis-9-mois-part-II.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</div>

on my smartphone, the size is ok, located on the left,
which is ok for me.

question :
how can I enhance this text file ?
I don't undertsand the doc of this plugin.
can I add something in that file, to add feature ? theming ? anything ?

thanks
Olivier

The question is actually why do you use the text-object while we have a player plugin named jPlayer? Also there is the half official mediaelementjs player available.

The text object is meant to be used for, well, texts and as a workaround for using non selfhosted videos from services like Youtube.

Hi,

I use the class object, because I had too many bugs with the jplayer, and the player using flash (I don't remember the name).
I was unable after activating this plugin to synchronise, and have my metadata. it was crashing my server always.

my video are long. between 250 MB to 2 GB....

now, I can build the metadata of the photos (I don't car about the metadata of the video, it comes always from a smartphone, with same resolution...), and run my videos.

- mediaelementjs : I don't found this plugin.

thanks
Olivier

If I recall right we did discuss the metadata issue being a server problem and I adviced to disable the metadata fields on the options.

OF course FLash does not work on iPhones but that should be known.

So you did not find this?

Hi,

no, I didn't saw that plugin. it is not liste in my plugin list :o(

anyway, after disactivated all metadata for the album, it was still crashing.
I have to open a ticket, but I have no time right now (and have to find the procedure to do it)
so, faster way was to use the class text object
:o)

mays be I will try the mediaelementjs_player, but I am afraid to go back in metadata not usable on my web site.

my provider don't want to increase the memory limit. and I am afraid that 250 MB or 500MB will not solve my problem, when I have large video file...

thanks
Olivier

Sure what ever works for you.

[i]I have to open a ticket, but I have no time right now (and have to find the procedure to do it)[/i]
You need to open free account on GitHub (sorry no way around) and then you have to go to the issues on the Zenphoto repository to create a ticket.

[i]no, I didn't saw that plugin. it is not liste in my plugin list :o([/i]
Of course not because it is not an official plugin (despite being made by me) and therefore not included in the release. You have to install it yourself first (there is a text above the plugins list).
