Release 3.61b
Cool enhancement
Fixes
Release 3.6b
In the previous release we added the support to monitor the actual ffmpeg process to be sure about if queue is running or not. But that was behaving different on different server configurations (dual core, cord core). Number of cores effect on the number of threads of ffmpeg and hence background processes. So that's why it was behaving differently on different flavor of servers. To over come this, we stop this monitoring and start to see the queue status via sqlite db. And i tested it alot here, and it's working perfectly and now we also restored windows support. WAMP is tested with this version.
Release 3.55b:
How do we planned stability in this version
In this version we have removed complex video conversion preset command and use simple ffmpeg command "ffmpeg -y -i [inputfile] [outputfile]". I setup a testing lenny instance of a server. than simply install ffmpeg using lenny package manager. And setup elgg with izap_videos. And it was working perfectly there was not any issue. Please post your feedback. And if it works for you. than post your server environment and give us one recommendation. As we will reach to the recommendation of 20. We will change this beta release to stable one.
Upgrading from previous release:
New installation:
ONSERVER Prerequisites:
Optional Prerequisites:
Optional plugins will give you better control over izap_videos plugin. These optional plugins are only required for ONSERVER support. If you leave them, izap_videos will yet to work with its basic functionality.
Bug fixes:
Compatiblility:
Operating system compatiblity:

One of the example images shows a progress bar for video uploads. But I don't see this progress bar on my site. Is it not implemented yet in the released version or has it been removed?
Hello Izap,
Thanks for the update. I'm having a problem with pagination when embedding videos. Its sending me to the dashboard page, instead of page 2. Please comment on this.

@Uddhava:
I tested, there is nothing like this. It is just working fine here. Please post some more info like elgg version you are using.
Thanks
Necesito ayuda
Trabajo con elgg 1.7, cuando trato de eliminar un video la página queda en blanco.
Cuando intento configurar izap_video la página solo muestra dos link que no funcionan:
* Settings
* Queue status
Otra pregunta (perdonen mi ignorancia) : que es "Clear simple cache" ??

Another question (excuse my ignorance), that is "Clear simple cache?
Thanks
Hello Izap,
I'm using Elgg Release 1.7 version 2010030101 (with the plugin upgrades for blog, etc that fixes pagination problems), and here are more details of the problem:
1) All links in the pagination section have the same URL, going to:
mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=24457&group_guid=24216#
2) After clicking on the link, it sends me to the home page, as if there was a php error.

Hi izap! The plugin is cool as always, but I still have the onserver problem that the queue is still not running :(
In the server analysis tab everything is green but the conversion dosen't start :(
I'm using elgg 1.7 Any idea?? It would be great!
THANK YOU!
@puffi:
Have you executed upgrade.php in the izap folder? Best way is to delete the izap_queue_db folder in the data directory before you do it (it will get created automatically again later) and I also keep simple_cache off when I execute the script.
Next question: are you sure that all ffmpeg parameters work on your server? Especially preset parameters could cause errors in ffmpeg conversion.
works well for me(v1.7). A goood plugin :)
Hi izap. I'm using elgg v1.7 and izap_videos 3.61b and I have some problems
1. I'm not using ONSERVER and still I'm getting an warning that I should install PDO sqlite
2. when I want to delete a video I'm getting a blank page and the video doesn't delete
Thanks and Waiting your solution
@iionly:
Thanks for the answer. I've tried that you wrote, but the queue still dosen't start.
If I start the conversion manually from command line it works like a charm so the preset parameters must be ok :(
Thanks!
solution for me?
I have Elgg 1.7.
When I try to delete a video, the page turns white.
When I try to set izap_video shows two links (in a white page) and these links do not work:
* Settings
* Queue status
The rest works fine (group videos, upload videos, etc)
(sorry for my English)
Thanks

Any idea?
Hi Izap,
I tried uploading a .3gp file format, thumbnails are getting created but the conversion does not work. There s nothing in the queue and got the following error on the "all sites videos page".
Delete You can not edit until the completion of conversion process.
I also tried uploading a .mp4 file. For mp4 file thumbnails are not getting created and the conversion does not work.
Any ideas, as this are valid file formats.
thanks
Hello Friends and thank you very much for this excellent plugin it work fine in my website and I am able to upload any flv videos only but not any other video type like mpeg , 3gp ... ect . if I try to upload any of these videos it never converted !!! please i need help as i am new to this elgg script .
why no converting the mpeg or wmv videos ?
Hi @izpap,
If we try to upload videos having single and double quotes in the title, the video isn't sent for conversion. It looks as if it does not support videos having quotes in their titles. Any ideas?
thanks in advance
How about fixing this typo? been in the last few versions: From Settings screen:
IS:
Include the uplaod text to top bar
SHOULD BE:
Include the upload text to top bar

When I enable the plugin it gives my white screen and dies. :( I'm using 1.7.1
It worked flawless with 1.7.1b any idea?
can anyone please help me
i get this error
Form is missing __token or __ts fields
and file shows in queue only
There seems to be a issue when this plugin and Tidypics are installed together. A token error appears when posting images to tidypics. To reproduce, just go to Tidypics Admin and click on recreate thumbnail, generate a thumbnail for any image and you will see the error. I tested with 4 versions back of tidypics all ok and izap_video was I rolled back to 3.5 and the issue disappeared. Might you take a look kind sirs?

You just have to enter http://yoursite/mod/izap_videos/upgrade.php in the browser's address bar to execute it.
hi
the embed works fine and I really like the whole thing but the problem for me is when I upload a video from my computer it uploades just fine but there is no way for me to play the video. There is no play button and you cant click the video to get it to play either. Do you have any idea as to what my solution is for this problem. Please reply to webmaster@firstbaptisthackett.com
Nasty bug in your main library file. You need to include your settings file with the full path.
