Yes, it seems to convert all videos to .flv using a ffmpeg command line which you can specify. It converts almsot any video format for me successfully to .flv. But it also has "offserver" capability where it can handle most embedds from Youtube as well. You need an API key for this, I believe.
I think it uses exec() to handle the ffmpeg video conversion. So you have to enable exec() likely in your php.ini file or such. It depends on your hosting what the exact solution will be so if it's shared hosting, a VPS, or a managed dedicated box you should probably just ask your host.
Cool thanks for the info
i've been looking at ways of changing the way this plugin functions so that only the inner list elements of the list are replaced via ajax instead of the entire panel when a filter option (tab) is clicked.
this is because the theme of my site uses colors and borders for the entity list which fade out and back in again when the tabs are switched.. which looks a bit strange..
replacing the list items only would look great..
i (hacked) the code to attempt to do this and it worked except i either lost the paginator or some other issue arose..
any thoughts on how i might achieve this are welcome.
if anyone is still using this, i have updated my version so that it works well with most subtypes..
what i have noticed today is that the 'infinite scroll' function does not work with the lists in groups.. it also does not work with blog ajaxed..
any tips welcomed as to why that may be - i have looked and as yet do not know..
the cause appears to be javascript related.
i have fixed this issue now by locating an innacurate jquery selector.. one step closer to total ajax smoothness.
