Yes, it's ok to pm me as long as you asked first
I don't know if it could be a SSI problem.

[EdWong]

Well, I was about to post more details, but when I went on my forum to did it, suddenly it works. Don't know how, I did nothing, but it works now.

So great mod, nothing more to say

[Tiribulus]

I don't know. I'm not using non-Javascript embedding much these days. I'm not using IE8 at all. Can anyone confirm? On sites other than BBC?

Works fine for me in IE8 on a shiny new Win7 install

I'm not using non-Javscript embedding either... I was just giving additional information based on some testing I did.

This issue is happening with normal Javascript embedding enabled. In SMF the embed is fine but in SSI the embed fails on IE6/8 and looking at the code, it seems to be missing the javascript.

If you don't have IE installed on your system, you can use this website to view it. Submit this link: http://www.murraysworld.com/news/article/14669/ (Fails in IE6/8)

I was having this mod working fine, but since it did that "auto update", any new youtube post i do, makes a scroll bar inside the post. Even tough it has plenty of space. I assume it is a bug.

Anyway to avoid this?


-edit-
Found out how, on my own.

"Store & show video titles" --> set to "No, don't store and don't show"
It resolves the scroll bar problem, even to previous posts.

@Mark> So, what you're saying is that if Javascript embedding is disabled in the admin, SSI embedding will work, while it fails if enabled? This is strange, it should fall back to non-Javascript when SSI is detected... :-/ Can you confirm again? I don't have much time on my hands today. Tomorrow will be better.

@WhiteHorse> This feature shouldn't be disabled. Not only because it's a cool feature I'm pretty proud of (), but mainly because it can't be the cause of your trouble. You should re-enable it and give me a link to a post of yours that shows the error. Then I can fix it.

[Nao 尚]

I have it installed (using SMF 2.0RC2) and everything has gone very smoothly so far. YouTube videos embed perfectly, but I am trying to figure out what is needed to get local (or even remote) media files to work properly. Currently all we get is a direct link in the post instead of an embedded player...so my questions:

Would you care to share specific links?

- Do I need to have a player installed locally on the site?

No. Although Aeva Media (the next version) will install a JWPlayer locally and will attempt to use it.

- Can remote files (such as a swf) be linked to directly or do they need the extra bit of information for a player at the end of the URL?

They can be linked to. If the file is remote, make sure to enable the related setting, otherwise it won't be embedded. Of course, you also want to enable the SWF setting as well.
But please be aware that SWF embedding + the remote setting opens a security hole on your website. I don't know *how* it can be exploited, but I think it can. Be careful what your users post. And make sure the URL is shown below each embed, otherwise they could embed malicious code without anyone noticing.

BBC News embeds fail in SSI regardless of whether Javascript embedding is disabled or not.

My setup

Javascript is ENABLED for embedding.

The problem

In SMF, the embeds are fine. I look at the code and I notice there is Javascript in the AEVA code, as expected.

In SSI, the embeds fail in IE6/8. I look at the code and I notice that the Javascript is missing even though I enabled it in admin CP. Firefox and IE7 are still able to show the embed without the Javacript but IE6/8 fail.

[EdWong]

I would like to come back on my problem. I tough it was auto-resolved, but I was mistaken.

I fact, and after a bit of investigation, it seems this "bug" happens only on Firefox 3.5.5 + Adobe Flash 10.0.32.18. On other browsers (Chrome V4 and IE8) + Adobe Flash 10.0.32.18, Youtube videos plays correctly. Same with Firefox and a previous version of Flash10, tested on another computer.

Any idea how to resolve it ? Like downgrade the Flash version on my main computer ?

Hi  Nao
Great MOD by far it has to be said
One of my Users just posted a link from snotr.com but it's not working!
The site is live and working from them. Some great vids on this site so if/ when you have the time could see what they've done to break it please?
Cheers and thanx in advance if you can take a look...
PS. Running sms 1.1.10 and Aeva Current version: 6.9.99

Is there a reason you are using the old version of Aeva? Anyway, you are right that snotr is not working, but easy to fix.

In Subs-Aeva-Sites.php, search for

Code Select Expand

array(
'id' => 'sno',
'title' => 'Snotr',
'website' => 'http://www.snotr.com',
'type' => 'video',
'added' => '<4.0',
'pattern' => 'http://(?:www\.|videos\.)?snotr\.com/(?:player\.swf\?video=|)?(?:video|embed)/(\d{1,8})',
'movie' => 'http://videos.snotr.com/player.swf?video=$2&embedded=true&autoplay=false',
'size' => array(400, 330),
// http://www.snotr.com/video/1210
'fix-html-pattern' => '<iframe src="$1"[^<>]*?></iframe>',
'fix-html-url' => 'http://www.snotr.com/video/$2',
),
and replace it with

Code Select Expand

array(
'id' => 'sno',
'title' => 'Snotr',
'website' => 'http://www.snotr.com',
'type' => 'video',
'added' => '<4.0',

'size' => array(400, 330),

'fix-html-pattern' => '<iframe src="$1"[^<>]*?></iframe>',
'fix-html-url' => 'http://www.snotr.com/video/$2',
),

Thanx DerEineDa
I'll try changing that and see how it goes. Just made the change and it now working  Thanks.
As to your question I didn't update yet as I updated recently + I wanted to make sure I add any sites to the custom file prior to latest update if any have been removed so can keep them!
Thanx again

Did you get that PM? Sent it a couple days ago.

[Nao 尚]

Yes, but I've had a hectic weekend... I have a huge backlog of PMs and bugs to look into. Will deal with everything ASAP.

[Axodious]

No problem, just wasn't sure if it actually sent.

[smbeermen]

Thanks folks..

[Kindred]

[mswmojo]

Hello Nao/Gilles, can you please email me directly at mswmojo@ gee mail in response to your reply via PM. I can't seem to get a reply sent.

It's all good. Let's get this party started...

This is the sample code that i tried to post


Any help is appreciated.

[sck]

I just installed the Aeva mod on my forum and it looks to be working correctly - which is not the norm for me and mods.  I have it so only Photobucket movies play.  My question is, when the movie finishes, the player shows "related" videos on photobucket.  I want it to just end or reload the movie in the post.  Is there a way to do this?

thanks

[MATTEK]

I'm having the same issue here I think. Each video posted is displayed 3 times instead of one. I've tried uninstalling and reinatlling teh package several times with no success. Any thoughts?
