DO NOT add a medio bbcode to the Custom BBcode Manager.

Actually, if you (or any add-on, for that matter) follow XenForo's methods for adding BBCodes (as I had explained in my guide), starting with the next version, you could in theory add them to BBCM without any effect, unless you do something within code that an addition to BBCM overrides. The BBCM codes will be added AFTER all add-ons add the codes, and BBCM will just seamlessly replace them.
 
Jaxel,

This has been asked a few times but no ones ever come up with a solution. Is there anyway at all to make the thumbnails full sized in IE? Considering my analytics show its used almost 60% of the time I would consider it a very big issue. Also when the videos are closed they keep playing in the background which is very annoying. Do you have a fix for this? thanks

The full-size thumbnail is not an IE issue. It happens with any browser.

The solution would be to create 2 thumbnails for each media. The medio embedded into threads needs to use a second, larger thumbnail.

Nope, its an issue in IE and firefox only.

Google Chrome - Works Perfectly
Safari - Works perfectly
Firefox 3 & 4- Small thumbnails which look crap! but video stops when popup closed from portal.
Internext Explorer - Small crap thumbnails and video popup does not stop in portal when closed.

I dont think its a XenPorta issue, I think its XenMedio. I assume Jaxel doesnt know how to resolve this otherwise he would of.

Does anybody else have any ideas please? Thanks
 
It definitely does NOT work perfectly in Chrome and Safari.

Those browsers take the existing thumbnail and expand it to appear full size. The thumbnail images are being displayed several times their normal size and look like crap.

I am quite confident Jaxel is more then capable of fixing the issue. As I suggested, multiple thumbnails would need to be created when the video is uploaded. The normal thumbnail, and a larger image, similar to how our avatars offer a small medium and large size. The issue isn't knowledge, but instead balancing competing demands on his time. How should he prioritize his time? Work on XenDiario? Bug fixing? Feature enhancements? etc.

I would love to see every last bug resolved and more features on every one of his add-ons. The reality is, there isn't enough time in the day to get it all done apparently.

I dont really want to get into this whole thing with Jaxel and his time etc. I deserve a reply at the very least, but this is about the 3rd or 4th time ive asked about this, he completely ignores the issue.

And if they are enlarged like you say then thats fine, i would much rather that then the little ones, and no one will disagree with that.

The issue of the player still playing when closed is still a problem that needs to be resolved.
 
I worked on this issue today. There is an easy manual fix, but I need Jaxel's help to make it automated.

EWRmedio_BBcode template has a line which pulls the displayed thumbnail that appears in threads. EWRmedio_BBcode_Full is the same thing but that is used when the [medio=full] tag is used.

I appended the file name with a _l to indicate the large thumbnail. The original thumbnails are 160 x 90. Those fill about 25% of the screen. If you double the thumbnail size to 320 x 180 it comes close to the right size. A single CSS adjustment to shrink the frame height a bit and we are perfect.

For now, you would need to manually create the second thumbnail which would be used for embedded medio. I did that for one thumbnail and the result is below. It looks very good, certainly much better then the current image.

Jaxel, can you add an additional line of code so when media is submitted a second thumbnail is created that is double the original thumbnail's size, and the name is appended with _l?

PS. This image is from FF.
 
I have a weird situation now. I reinstall some other addons (bbcode, parsehtml) for solve my problem. Now i have another.

1. My media forum displays only bbcode text messages like [medio=full]26[/medio]
2. I'm choosing edit message, then do not touch anything in the message content, only clicking save changes.
3. Media thread becoming normal, my video window appears.

Now, i have to edit all my video content one by one.

Have you altered your YouTube settings?

I use XenPorta and Flexile and it appears fine. My YouTube size is 640 x 385. Check Media > Services > YouTube > Edit to see what your size is set to and adjust as needed.
 
I changed both Youtube and Vimeo to 600x350 and it's fine now, can't understand why it's different on yours. Ahh well! All done. I keep forgetting the admin stuff for medio is in the plugin and not in XF backend options...
