This plugin is a modified version of izap_videos. Videos now playback in a new video player that makes it look more site friendly.
How to install:
1) Extract the zip file
2) Drag the izap_videos folder into your /mod folder - let it overwrite
3) Run http://yoursite/upgrade.php
4) Delete your site cache
5) Run a hard refresh
Changes:
- Now works with elgg sites that are not installed in the root of the site
- Now works with the latest izap_videos

This media player shows up with YouTube videos too? :)
@Simox
Yes!
@Mark
Great! Then I'm downloading ;-)
Good work and thanks :)
@Simox,
Some people were having problems if elgg wasnt installed in the root of the website. I have fixed that issue in this update but i am unable to test the on-site videos. Let me know if it works for you!
Uhm, I only use off-server support since I don't have unlimited space on my webhotel. But it seems to be working good from here. :-)
Yeah, i just checked out your site :)
The only problem is that the player doesn't show the whole video... (YouTube)

you can adjust that by going to:
mod/izap_videos/classes/video_feeds.php
Change line 109 from <param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"file={$url}&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1&autostart={$play}&skin=$player_path/mod/izap_videos/player/stylish_slim.swf&stretching=fit\" /> to <param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"file={$url}&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1&autostart={$play}&skin=$player_path/mod/izap_videos/player/stylish_slim.swf\" />
and do the same for line 114
Hope this help!
Ok, thanks. I will check it out when I'm back from school :-)
I get an error #2035 with youtube videos. I see the player but no video, just get the error
you can see here http://www.thefloridacircle.com/community/pg/izap_videos/ddfusion/play/556
@Fusion just an fyi, I checked your page, and noticed that when I click on your navigation button, 'browse' the submenu is dropping below the video player.
I've noticed the same behavior on the navigation plugin I was using from this site as well. Somehow have to figure out how to tell it to go above the player level....
@Fusion,
in mod/izap_videos/classes/video_feeds.php Change line 109 from
<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"file={$url}&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1&autostart={$play}&skin=$player_path/mod/izap_videos/player/stylish_slim.swf&stretching=fit\" />
to
<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"file={$url}&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1&autostart={$play}&skin=$player_path/stylish_slim.swf\" />
and do the same for line 114
I think this should fix that issue.
@Fusion,
Just looking through your code. You seem to changed the code from what i wrote and taken the theme off it. It seems to be working fine for other users.
i got the same problem with and without the theme. gonna try your suggestion and let you know if it works
@mark.. changed the line of code you suggested but it still did not do anything. still get the same error
@fusion,
Really dont know what the problem is then. It works fine on other users sites.
Try doing a french install and make sure the start.php file is overwritten.
@antifmradio ... It is not necessary but you may have to enable and re-enable the plugin
@mark..
i figured it out.. the yt.swf didnt upload and that is required for the youtube videos.
@antifmradio..
the upgrade.php is a part of elgg it updates the database, you dont need to run that for this.
@antifmradio,
I just tested it in FireFox and it works fine.
What ever you did with this version it is now working for me, and looks very good.
congratz and thank you for taking the time to make this Plugin and sharing it with the communtiy.
@antifmradio,
It does work on other peoples site, as far as I am concerned it is just your site that is having the problem. Can you give me a link to your site?
Just been looking through your site source code for the play and it is different to that of my plugin. Have you installed this latest release? Have you modified it?
just went to your site an loaded straight away and plays fine.
Just a tip next time, make sure you have to latest plugin install ;-)
izap_videos version has not changed so in tools the info for the plugin will not change. You seemed to have the old code from when i looked at your source code. Anyway, all working now! ;-)
