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

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?

The problem does sound the same - so the fix is the same as well. Go through the files AEVA modifies, and Manually fix the edits. There are most probably multiple instances of some of the code in your files at the moment.

I'm no where near that skilled. I have no idea what files AEVA modifies. There has to be a simpler fix. I mean, why won't a simple reinstall work?

My PMs are working fine. And I'd like to see this topic as a FAQ topic, not a discussion topic.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

You can find all the edits the mod makes, from the Manual install instructions included on the download page.

A simple reinstall will not do - as uninstalling will only remove 1 install, so 1 instance of a particular code snip, and leave the rest there, and so a new install would just add the removed code back - leaving you in the same position as you were before you uninstalled.

Ah, I finally remember why this isn't valid...
This is because being valid was too much of a drawback. Some browser would have to load videos entirely before being able to show up, for instance. And some videos just wouldn't embed at all for me.

[Axodious]

Ah I see, well then I guess I'll just have to keep it invalid cause this is an amazing mod

Thanks again

Is it possible to embed attachment with Aeva?  Let's say, we can add upload file in the post and embed it if it's audio or video type.  Would it be any future upgrade?

Thanks,

[Nao 尚]

No problem. And yes, I do care about validation. It hurts me!
Maybe I could add an option for that. valid/invalid. But there are already so many options...

[Rowdy]

The issue is in sources/Subs-aeva.php

Find and delete:

Code Select Expand

<!--
.maeva { font: 8pt/11pt Tahoma, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif; overflow: auto }
.maeva a:link, .maeva a:visited { text-decoration: none !important; border-bottom: 0 !important }
.aeva_dq { font-weight: bold }
.aeva_t { text-align: left; padding-top: 3px }
.aeva_q { text-align: right; padding-top: 3px }
a.aeva_dq:link { color: inherit }
// -->

At least, that code causes my site to fail validation and it passes without it. Reported this before.

Hi Nao, just want to say thanks for a great mod. Got it running on Main site SMF 1.1.10 and test site SMF 2.0 RC2 with no problems.

With Christmas coming up I wanted to include some Carols so went to http://feelslikechristmas.com/ which offers free MP3 downloads. Posting links to the downloads works when I have the admin option:

Accept external websites in addition to local embeds
In case it isn't clear: this isn't a recommended setting, at least security-wise.

enabled but won't if this is disabled.

So my question is (and I've searched this topic for the answer to no avail) How do I add http://feelslikechristmas.com/ to the authorised site list. I cannot find an add site option or any instruction in the readme file on how to add a site. I may be missing something silly so apologise if I am but is there a way to add a site to the list?

My pages validate just fine with that code... It's inside the header, as requested by the w3c validator. What else should I do?

[Rowdy]

I have no idea. No expert. I just know the forum home page validates without that in it. But I remember you pointing out it does validate with it using another method of validation. I noticed my pages are not validated if there are videos on them.  One error. Its a great mod nonetheless. Thanks for it.

[Axodious]

The errors for me are specific to do with XHTML, which doesn't allow <embed> to be used. Not with the CSS you're pointing out.

Perhaps a copy/paste of the W3C error  you have?

[ethankcvds]

Nao/Gilles, I think this might be useful information to you http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay. It describes how to embed flash while keeping XHTML Vaild.

@Rowdy> As silly as it can be -- since Aeva Media will use SMG's files, I will be able to simply call aeva/style.css instead of specifying the code in the headers. I guess it'll be cleaner and it'll save you from that validation error.

@Axodious> Okay, I'm trying to figure out a way to have Javascript enabled on SSI pages. Don't hold onto it, but I'll try to implement that, maybe next week. (In Aeva Media.)

[Rowdy]

Hey thanks, that would be cool to save me the edits on uninstall and reinstall. Looking forward to seeing whats up with the new version. Thanks.

[Axodious]

Thank you again.

I've been using this mod for a while, and gotta say I love it. Got a question though. Any chance you can add support or sites that use divX format? A lot of the newer sites out (after stage6) continued the trend, and I gotta say I really like it, but have no way of embedding such video into the forum. Can you help?

[CodeDev]

Hi!

Where is the option to activate custom sites?

Couldn't find it!

[G3mInI]

Xfire now serves up videos and players can record in game video while playing using Xfire.

Can someone post the php needed to allow xfire video to be parsed?

I attempted it using the aeva-custom file but I had no success.

These xfire vids are becoming very popular quickly.

An example xfire video url => hxxp:www.xfire.com/video/1a154e/ [nonactive]

Thanks in advance!
