As it turns out, this seems to be an issue with JW Player, on which pro-player is based. The devs are aware of the issue and are working on it.</p> <p>Again, thanks for your help. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-preview-images-youtube-hd#post-3024 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:14:17 +0000 admin 3024@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>as you can see <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/testblog/2010/06/28/youtube-proplayer-video/">here</a>, the thumb is working with this code:</p> <p><code>[pro-player width="640" height="385"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT8fbbje83c[/pro-player]<br /> </code><br /> Have you enabled the "Turns on/off displaying a default preview image before video starts." setting in proplayer? I guess you have to use embed code for youtube HD videos. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-preview-images-youtube-hd#post-3023 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:37:50 +0000 JunkieGamer 3023@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hello there,</p> <p>Again, great theme and thanks for all your great work.</p> <p>I have 2 issues with pro-player, i hope you might be able to help me with.</p> <p>First one is, i never get a preview image when i upload the video, either directly to my ftp account, or by linking to a youtube video.</p> <p>Here is the sample page <a href="http://junkiegamer.com/index.php/2010/01/test/" rel="nofollow">http://junkiegamer.com/index.php/2010/01/test/</a></p> <p>and here is the code i used in the Big Feature post settings/video<br /> <code>[pro-player]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT8fbbje83c[/pro-player]</code></p> <p>Also, is there a way to playback youtube links in HD? I did the resizing of the video, but all that did was stretch out the SD version.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/fbookliketweetmeme-problem-with-video-as-feature-image#post-2563 Mon, 10 May 2010 14:35:08 +0000 admin 2563@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>that is part of the setup instruction in the doc html file that comes with the theme (in the docs folder). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/fbookliketweetmeme-problem-with-video-as-feature-image#post-2561 Mon, 10 May 2010 13:35:31 +0000 robsimon 2561@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I fixed this by setting the tweetmeme settings to position: manual </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/fbookliketweetmeme-problem-with-video-as-feature-image#post-2549 Sun, 09 May 2010 14:37:41 +0000 robsimon 2549@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Have since then fixed the problem with the displaced footer </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/fbookliketweetmeme-problem-with-video-as-feature-image#post-2548 Sat, 08 May 2010 14:23:36 +0000 robsimon 2548@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Also as you can see the footer gets displaced on a single-post.

There are 2 ways around this:</p> <p>Right click and save the distorted thumb image. Then resize it and upload it with wordpress, and then add the url in the "Thumbnail image URL" field below the editor (you must have the latest version of the theme for this to work (1.3.5.1). <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#how2upgrade">here's</a> how to upgrade).</p> <p>or add a width and height for the thumbnails in the same proportion as the image. Example:<br /> <code>[bfthumbs category="featured" width="255" height="191"]</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-for-videos#post-2498 Thu, 06 May 2010 11:27:17 +0000 claudiam 2498@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>thank you, works, but, the last issue, the thumb is distorted not well-proportioned... </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-for-videos#post-2497 Thu, 06 May 2010 11:13:32 +0000 admin 2497@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>the url was wrong (get the right url shown by clicking share), use this shortcode instead:</p> <p><code>[pro-player width="640" height="385"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEXrQUHqsI[/pro-player]</code></p> <p>and I also recommend to add the width and height (you get this shown by pressing embed), since then it will be re sized proportionally. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-for-videos#post-2495 Thu, 06 May 2010 10:58:45 +0000 claudiam 2495@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I add the shortcode in the area for the videos under the text area for the post, the shortcode I use is like this: [pro-player]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEXrQUHqsI&amp;feature=topvideos[/pro-player]<br /> the plugin is activated and I've done all you have explained about the videos, but for the first time, after publishing the post, I have an image like <a href="http://www.sheiscreative.com/2010/05/06/videos-in-homepage">this</a> and the second time I go on the homepage I found only the broken image-icon and the name of the video in the high-left corner of the thumb. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-for-videos#post-2493 Thu, 06 May 2010 10:32:16 +0000 admin 2493@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>how do you add the videos? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-thumbnails-for-videos#post-2491 Thu, 06 May 2010 09:45:31 +0000 claudiam 2491@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm using BigFeature and the frontpage template for my homepage setted as a static page, I've installed Proplayer, but doesn't generate thumbnails in the homepage and the video inside the post works... </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-2121 Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:46:43 +0000 jamestflynn 2121@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I resolved the issue, it was posted as a problem on the ProPlayer site that with the latest MySQL 5 install strict mode is on by default but the only resolution they had was to change the sqlmode for all databases on the server. That did not sound like a very good fix so I found a simple line code that you add to the mysql query in Proplayer's playlist-controller.php file. Just added mysql_query("SET SESSION SQL_MODE := ''",$connection); to take out strict mode specifically for that application. </p> <p>The updated lines look like this:</p> <p> // unfortunately stupid WP doesn't carry these details :S<br /> $connection = mysql_pconnect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);<br /> mysql_query("SET SESSION SQL_MODE := ''",$connection); </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-2037 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:51:21 +0000 admin 2037@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>ok. I can't proplayer to work on my localhost (xamp), but that is due to lack of php5 I think. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/color-for-the-video-players-background-area#post-2036 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:50:53 +0000 khalid254 2036@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Thank you! i look forward to that! </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/color-for-the-video-players-background-area#post-2035 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:44:36 +0000 admin 2035@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>you can set a background color on the feature div, but that is constrained by the container, so it will not be full width like that. The container div's must be changed to make a full width background color for the feature/video area like that. I have been thinking about changing the structure of the theme to make such designs possible, maybe I will do it for version 1.4. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/color-for-the-video-players-background-area#post-2024 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:39:55 +0000 khalid254 2024@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>is there anyway to have a specific color for the video player's background. A color or a sponsor's poster? below is an example where the video player's background is grey.<br /> THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!</p> <p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww134/zogo2009/Snapshot2010-04-0709-30-55.jpg"> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-2022 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:34:52 +0000 jamestflynn 2022@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I am using Big Feature 1.3.4.3. I went through and tested every version of proplayer it looks like the break comes from 4.05 to 4.5.

So there is something in there that is conflicting. But if the 2.8.6 works for now I am just going to keep it at that.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> James </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-1998 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:38:06 +0000 admin 1998@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>First off, the shortcode added should have a width and height parameter, like this:</p> <p>[pro-player width="560" height="340"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqTWUzehCUM[/pro-player]</p> <p>but that is not the cause of this problem, since default dimensions will be used if this is not specified. you can test to eliminate the cause.</p> <p>1. Add the shortcode to a post/page to see if it works there.<br /> 2. Activate the default theme and check the post there.<br /> 3. Test with the shortcodes available <a href="http://isagoksu.com/video-tests/">here</a>. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-1986 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:42:36 +0000 jamestflynn 1986@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I checked and I am using PHP 5.3.1, WordPress 2.9.2 and the 4.7.7 Pro Player. I tested using a couple videos I uploaded locally to the site by:<br /> [pro-player type=mp4]http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/converted_video.mp4[/pro-player]</p> <p>and I couldn't get that to work so I went to the Pro Player web site and he had a series of example videos to use so I tried a couple of those like:<br /> [pro-player]http://vimeo.com/7532457[/pro-player]</p> <p>And they all said "Video is not available". I set the Cache to 0, any other ideas you may have let me know and I'll try it.</p> <p>On the plugin author's site there were a lot of users that were having the same issue but they did not go into detail as to what caused it or if they resolved it and how they did not post it so I am not sure if it is something to do with server configuration, compatibility or what yet. BTW, I am on an IIS server if that helps any.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> James </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-1947 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:56:28 +0000 admin 1947@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Did you test with one of the example shortcodes? can I see the shortcode you are using?</p> <p>I'm using WP2.9.2, proplayer 4.7.7 and BigFeature 1.3.4.3, php5 (this is a requirement for proplayer), and it works.</p> <p>Btw, set the Cache Timeout to 0 in the plugin settings. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/pro-player-video-is-not-available#post-1944 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:38:01 +0000 jamestflynn 1944@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>What version of Pro Player are you using with your demo site and what version of wordpress are you running.
