I haven't done this myself yet but try   Aeva > admin > layout > audio player's width (set in pixels) - or does it still have a large blank area above it?

[EL34]

Hi I have lite and  I don't see this
Aeva > admin > layout > audio player's width

What I see in admin is this
configuration>features and options>Aeva and Aeva sites.

Anywho, I figured it out
I edited this file (forum/Sources/Subs-Aeva-Generated-Sites.php) with the code below and I now get what I wanted.
A full sized windows video player and a 30 pixel high windows audio player that looks like this.


This is the code I used

This is the stock code

Code Select Expand


array(
'id' => 'local_wmp',
'plugin' => 'wmp',
'pattern' => '({local}[\w/ &;%\.-]+\.wm[va])(?=")',
'movie' => '$2',
'size' => array(500, 360),
'show-link' => true,
),



this is my code change to make .wma audio small player and .wmv a large player

Code Select Expand


array(
'id' => 'local_wmv',
'title' => 'RealMedia (.wmv) Files',
'type' => 'local',
'added' => '4.0',
'plugin' => 'wmp',
'disabled' => true,
'pattern' => '({local}[\w/ &;%\.-]+\.wmv)(?=")',
'movie' => '$2',
'size' => array(500, 360),
'show-link' => true,
),
array(
'id' => 'local_wma',
'title' => 'RealMedia (.wma) Files',
'type' => 'local',
'added' => '4.0',
'plugin' => 'wmp',
'disabled' => true,
'pattern' => '({local}[\w/ &;%\.-]+\.wma)(?=")',
'movie' => '$2',
'size' => array(300, 30),
'show-link' => true,
),

Hi I have lite and  I don't see this
Aeva > admin > layout > audio player's width ...

Oops, I didn't realize the admin layout was different. Good to see you got results though.

[EL34]

Yeah, it's working great.
Basically the stock code weeds out .wma and .wmv files and treats them the same.

My code separates the two file types so you can set each one up differently.

There's probably a smoother way to do it in the custom file but I could not get anything to work except altering the Generated-sites file.

New Issue:  HighSlide Viewer Too Narrow on Embedded Videos  (tranfered topic from SMF 2.0 Support Thread)

Original message:

Searched high & wide for some help on this but keep coming up dry.

The HighSlide pop-up viewer is always too narrow and it partially hides the right edge of any embedded video it displays.  What is happening is that the vertical scroll bar displays... and that chops off the video display on the right side by the width of the scroll bar.

It does not do this on images. Just videos.... which are embedded and not uploaded.


* Using SMF 2.05 with Aeva-Media 1.4c & PortaMx 1.0 RC4 installed.


I'm not sure if this is an SMF issue (doubtful) or an Aeva-Media issue (maybe) or just a HighSlide JS issue.

My best guess is that its an Aeva-Media width-related variable that is determining the width of the embedded content... without taking into account the overall height of the container... thus resulting in the vertical scroll bar that messes everything up.

I'm posting this here as there is no support anywhere (that I know of) for Aeva Media.


What I would need help with is trying to find where I can turn off the scroll bars or re-code to make the container adjust for the full height of the video plus the title and description that displays below it. I could also force a fixed height for the container... if I can locate the exact container.

I've gone through the aeva-template.php, the am.css and hs.css files... and even the highslide.js files but can not locate where I can make any changes that will fix this.


Any help from anyone on this would be much appreciated.  Thanks.




Response & Reply:

My guess is this is happening with wide-screen videos. Aeva > admin > layout > try setting the maximum size just above 600.

Let us know what happens.

Thanks for the response. Yes... most of the videos are wide screen, hosted on either You Tube or Vimeo. But it does the same thing on those videos that are not wide-screen.  The Highslide pop-up viewer does resize to the width of the video correctly... but it does not resize for the full height of the video and the title and description that appears below it. Therefore, the container (DIV) its in generates a vertical scroll bar... and that is what reduces the viewable area of the container.

I had the Maximum width for embedded videos setting in the Auto Embedding menu originally set to 800... then tried leaving it blank... and then set it at 1024 and 1200. But it makes no difference. I believe that setting only affects embedding videos into messages.


Response & Reply:

i dont see that option in the admin panel for aeva anywhere, also layout seems to be in the settings page.

Thats correct. The Max Width setting is in the Auto Embedding Menu.  There is also a Max Width setting in the Main Settings... but I believe that is for limiting the size of uploaded material. I have that set to 1200.


* I may be wrong but I do not think there is an admin setting that controls the width of the highslide pop-up viewer.

[Pegasys]

If a visual will help...

Here is the Highslide pop-up viewer in Aeva Media gallery. Note how on the right side the vertical scroll bar appears... and chops off the right side of the video... as well as the Small/Large links and Details links on the lower right side of the video.

Then..., because the vertical scroll bar has appeared and cut off the full width of the display, the horizontal scroll bar also appears.

Also note how the slide show controls appear over the horizontal slide bar. ( not sure why those are there). And of course the description is not visible unless you scroll down. It normally would appear directly below the title on the lower left that says " Yacht Club Opening Day"

I have a strange problem, which may or may not be Maeva's, but it only started showing after I installed the lite version.

On my site I pull certain YouTube channels via RSS to create posts. This used to work flawlessly, but now there appear 3 instances of the video! You can see an example here.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Excuse me for sounding a bit like a noob, but i am. I loaded Aeva media and it says it loads successfully but there is no menu option for it. In the package screen it shows as installed with the green light. I previously had SMF media gallery loaded but had uninstalled that package first. When i go to remove Aeva, all files have errors when testing the uninstallation. Is there anything I can do to get this loaded properly that doesn't take an internet genius to do?

I created 2 albums that I would like member access to post in however I cannot seem to get the permissions to grant them access. I have set them in the album and in the particular group that I want to have access. Any suggestions?

Anyone got any ideas please?

First: great, fantastic modification! Realy.

But...

I've installed this mod on my SMF 2.0 RC5, but if I enable Auto-Embedding the forum immediately becomes slow. Switch between a page load of 0.1-0.2 seconds when is disabled at 5, 10, 20, 50 (!!!) seconds when is enabled.

I can't understand the cause of the problem. I tried to disable certain options of Auto-Embedding, but without success.



thanks in advance for the help

[Spoogs]

Go into the settings and disable the sites you're using
yoursite/index.php?action=admin;area=aeva_embed;sa=sites

[iacomac]

Thank you for your fast reply.

I only enabled "Popular sites" and seems to work fine.
It's correct?

[Spoogs]

It's really just a matter of the sites you anticipate your users would use... out of the entire list I have maybe 4 enebaled and I'll only enable more if/when my members start using others

[Gryzor]

I only have a very few sites enabled (only some from the popular ones) and still every other page takes several seconds to load. I do think there's a problem somewhere...

[EDIT] Hey, I just found out something weird... I *thought* I had most of the sites disabled, but it turns out that even if I uncheck their check boxes, once I save the settings they're still back on!!!! Any ideas of what to do or how to do it manually?

[EDIT2] Ahhh found it after seeing the parse instructions: The sources dir needed to be fully writeable...

[Sev-M.C.]

Is there anyway to add custom fields to the massive upload template?

[Arantor]

Admin > Aeva Media > Custom Fields?

[K33NY]

Hey I have a problem with my website and can uninstall my mods, i tried using package parser to find out how to manuall uninstall this mod but cant find out how can someone help me?

[live627]

Admin > Aeva Media > Custom Fields?
