s9e Media BBCodes pack 20231102

[Mkenya]

I don't know about Google Earth. If you meant Google Maps, it's been discussed before and it could not be added for technical reasons.

thanks

JoshyPHP updated s9e Media BBCodes pack with a new update entry:

Added NBC Sports and The Guardian. Updated other sites

Hell yeah!

 

[Poindexter]

Did something change with Facebook embeds? There is a transparency (for me) where the text is that wasn't there before.

 

[JoshyPHP]

I didn't, but Facebook may have changed their style.

 

[Poindexter]

They must have.

Side question - did you look into Brightcove videos previously? I think you did.

[JoshyPHP]

It's been supported for some time.

 

[Poindexter]

I don't know why it isn't embedding for me. I'll have to make sure we have the latest upgrade.

@JoshyPHP

When i post a youtube video with a timestamp, it does not seem to generate a media thumbnail but an image with three dots... i even tried to manually upload a thumbnail but it only shows the dotted image... any ideas?

 

[JoshyPHP]

@JoshyPHP You're talking about XenForo Media Gallery. XenForo's default YouTube embed doesn't support timestamps so I guess XFMG doesn't either. You'd need a different thumbnail generator. If you post in XFMG's support thread there's a chance that a XenForo developer will add support for it, most likely @Chris D.

 

[Chris D]

There are suggestions open for it, but it's not something we have plans to add in the near future as our priorities are focusing development on XF 2.0.

@Neutral Singh

Please find attached a file, that may help.

Please upload this file to the following location:
library/XenGallery/Thumbnail/YouTubeS9e.php

Then go to Admin CP > Applications > Gallery Options > Media Sites Options

Under the "Media Site Thumbnails" section, next to "YouTube" type in the following:

"XenGallery_Thumbnail_YouTubeS9e"

Click Save Changes.

Rebuild thumbnails on the Gallery Rebuilds page. Any YouTube videos that have a timestamp will be rebuilt correctly.

@Chris D

Thank you so much for taking time out to look into this puzzle...

Well, it works as desired but in a weird way... please let me explain...

After implementing above instructions, when i enter the following url to add media:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbCU6kRIDKg&t=13m05s

It does nothing as desired... i.e. the video still starts from the beginning and no thumbnail is generated...

However, in a stroke of genius! , when I tweaked the url as follows:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbCU6kRIDKg&t=780m or t=780s

(where 780 seconds roughly convert to 13m05s)

I have no idea how but the above tweaked timestamp url works as desired with thumbnail is also generated as desired!

So, it does the trick but i have to manually calculate the seconds every time i have to use the timestamps... not a biggie but any ideas on automating this process would complete the puzzle for me!

Thank you so much!

And all the best for xF 2.0!

 

[Chris D]

The thumbnail generation not working is expected with the code I wrote so I am happy to tweak that.

The video still starting at the beginning may well be something for @JoshyPHP to look into. It may essentially require the same fix I need to add to the thumbnail class.

 

[JoshyPHP]

@Neutral Singh Both URLs start at the correct time for me.

@Chris D The YouTube BBCode can have a bunch of different parameters. The best approach for your thumbnail class is to only match /\bid=([^;]+)/ regardless of what precedes or follows it. I'm attaching the patched thumbnail class.

For reference, those are the BBCodes generated by the URLs mentioned above.

[MEDIA=youtube]id=wbCU6kRIDKg;m=13;s=05[/MEDIA]
[MEDIA=youtube]id=wbCU6kRIDKg;t=780[/MEDIA]

@Chris D @JoshyPHP

It works perfectly now out of the box!
Thank you soooooo much!!

@Chris D @JoshyPHP

Having same issues with generating a thumbnail for hulu videos...

xFMG: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/media/categories/interfaith.10/

http://www.hulu.com/watch/934270

Thumbnail url shows up like this: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/?1461678823

 

[Chris D]

Any video services that don't ship with XF require custom development to implement the necessary code to download the thumbnails in most cases.

can this support title & images imdb ?
i try this :
[imdb]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3072482/?ref_=nv_sr_2[/imdb]
but not work

 

[SirWill]

The "Watch on Twitch" button for the twitch BBCode doesn't open anything.
Is there anything you can do on your side or is that from twitch?

Greetings!

I certainly love this add-on but seems like it likes to mess around with XenGallery. On XenGallery, there's a huge unused padding at the bottom of the media. I'm not really too sure on how to go about this as I've tried lots of things that's within my reach:


Cheers and nice work!~
