General support topic for Aeva Media (Latest release: July 28, 2010)

[hartiberlin]

So, what is the latest progress ?
Do we get soon a working solution ?

We really need some fixes for the problems,
otherwise to upgrade to RC4 is not an option...

for some reason it doesnt show any videos that are posted in gallery....

i would like to have a block that only shows the most recent images and one that shows most recent videos as well
i have been doing the videos the hard way with Dhtml.
any help with this would be much appreciated.
iv included a few images to help explain.

I tried to search the topic, but 250 pages are to much and the search option hasn't shown me what I was searching for.


Is there a way to change the skin of JW Player?
I'm using at my site a JW Player and I want to use the same play-skin, which is in use at my site, in the forum too.

Thanks for help.

I have searched this thread, which is rather long. Is this mod worth adding? It seems as though there are some serious issues to me regarding this mod. Perhaps I am reading into it to far. I just want to add the ability to post videos from YouTube or similar easily.

We currently have:
SMF 2.0 RC3
SimplePortal 2.3.2
Simple Gallery lite 3.0.1

I have not unistalled SG Lite yet, but ran an install mod to see if any errors would pop up and we got this:

1.   Execute Code   db_aeva.php   
   2.   Execute Modification   ./index.php   Test successful

18.   Extract File   ./MGalleryItem.php   
19.   Extract File   ./expressInstall.swf


So is it worth me messing with it? I don't want to spend hours to get to work. Unless I have to because our members say they want it. I'm just probing for now I guess for feedback. Thanks!

if you already have gallery lite, then you probably only want the aeva lite version...

and a failed file just means that something else changed the target code already (like another mod)

[YogiBear]

@ AZMazda3 : Aeva is known to be a 'clean coded' mod. The problems can occur when using it with some Portal and/or Chat mods.

To add to what Kindred said you might try installing Aeva then add the other mods and go for manual installation of whichever one shows up an error.

[NoFeaR / NFSMW]

Same problem here with limit reached http://www.ilnika.com/index.php?cat=5
But here is works. http://www.ilnika.com/index.php?page=65
Dont know why.

About Aeva-Media 1.4b,
I am sorry to ask but is there an option so the auto-embedding can be used with bbc code?
It's really annoying at spots when it auto embeds the movies.

You can use the noembed tag so it doesn't embed it.

Or turn off auto-embed completely in the AEVA control panel.

I am voting for to integrate the AEVA MOD into SMF 2.0 Gold !

This way, maybe the SMF fork is not neccessary !

Why can´t you just let Nao and Aranator be again in the SMF team and
let them bring in their talent to make just the bug fixes and new features
already into SMF 2.0 Gold !

The SMF team really has to move faster, as other BB systems get better and better
and SMF just sleeps the whole last time...

We need more and better features already inside the SMF core and faster deployment !

So why is the SMF team letting these good programmers go and not work together with them
to get SMF 2.0 Gold out with new great features ?

Regards, Stefan.

[improv]

Hmm great.
But there is no option to use

tags like that?

[live627]

@hartiberlin:
The fork is necessary for more reasons than Aeva. I will not go into details.

Sure SMF has fallen behind - but, who can fix that? The current dev team (and I shall note that they recently took on another Consulting Dev)

[b4pjoe]

Hmm great.

The noembed tag works with any type of remote file I think. Not just youtube.

[fmofmpls]

Just wondering if this mod works with videos from the Internet Archive?

[Kindred]

I do not think so....   if it is not on the list of supported site, you would have to add it to the list yourself

[fmofmpls]

Thanks Kindred. Didn't know I could do that?

More info on the SMF 2.0 RC4, Aeva 1.4b and PortaMx v0.990 incompatibility. If you comment out the line

Code Select Expand

ob_start($obs && ($obs['name'] != 'default output handler') ? $obs['name'] : null);

from the 2 AEVA files aeva-subs.php and aeva-embed.php the white screen issue disappears in pages with embedded links. This is when the PortMx copyright disappears on those pages so I think those 2 issues are related.

I have tested AEVA 1.4b installed along with all 5 Portals that are available for SMF 2.0 RC4. SimplePortal, DREAM Portal, EzPortal, Adk Portal, and PortaMx. It works flawlessly with every portal except PortaMx...no white screens and no missing copyrights. I did not have to comment out the line of code above for any of the other portals. See attached images.









I'm not sure I would call it a bug as both of these softwares work fine independent of each other but there is definitely an incompatibility between PortaMx and AEVA that I can't duplicate with other Portal software.

And then...


I have done a little more testing...

We know that pages with embedded links display as white pages when PortaMx v0.990 is installed. We also know if we comment out the one line of code

Code Select Expand

ob_start($obs && ($obs['name'] != 'default output handler') ? $obs['name'] : null);

from Aeva-Embed.php and Aeva-Subs.php that it fixes the white screen issue. Also, there is no white screen issue on the other 4 portals mentioned earlier but if we leave the line of code commented out and install the other 4 portals all of their copyrights disappear just like with PortaMx...except for EzPortal which places it's copyright above the SMF copyright. The other portals all place their copyright below the SMF copyright just like PortaMx and the Aeva Embedding copyright replaces their copyrights just like it does with the PortaMx copyright sooooo....
obviously the line line of code

Code Select Expand

ob_start($obs && ($obs['name'] != 'default output handler') ? $obs['name'] : null);

is causing the conflict/white screen issue with PortaMx and the fix of commenting out that line of code in those two files causes the Aeva embedding copyright to replace any copyright directly below the SMF copyright instead of adding itself below that copyright as it does if that line of code is not commented out (Except that causes the white screen issue if PortaMx is installed).

So Aeva Lite will the YouTube feature?! I didn't think it did.

[Toontje]

I updated Aeva, but videos are shown twice?
You did not uninstall the old version the right way, didn't uninstall it at all, or the removal didn't go as expected. You will have to manually remove code that is left from the installation!

I have this issue. Can someone guide me finding the code to remove?

Thanks,

Ton.
