Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

I know i've made a couple of posts today, i dont want to bug anybody...


I've been trying to make the videos work, no sucess!


I'm using "autodetection":




So I copied a couple of .AVIs into a folder named Video, but when I browse the gallery that folder appears empry. I've tried to delete/generate the cache, change permission, I even tried "option #2" and created a video.php, but nothing happened.

I think i'm maybe missing something ?


Thanks for all your help and for doing this great gallery ! (I know videos should show, it's maybe something i'm doing)

Hi,

I think this is a useless poll. TWG can of course handle avi's. Haven't you checked the demo?
Why don't you simply download the working example there?
http://www.tinywebgallery.com/demo/inde ... fset=0,0,0

wmp and avi work the same.

For your avi's - have you provided a thumbnail?
You should read the howto about videos!

Well I think I installed the ffmpeg (i can see it on the Configure Command section of the phpinfo()), i don't see any further sections... so I don't know if I installed it alright (do you know?)




I did read them, and it said TWG should automatically detect the media files and act accordingly.

I don't know how should I generate thumbnails of the videos, i thought they would be done automatically after the ffmpeg install...

Should I do something else ?

Thanks,

siran

Not very good it seems .

You need thumbnails and you can either provide them or create them with ffmpeg in the backend.

You can see if it is installed properly by calling info.php.

And the generation can be done in the backend if you are registered.

Hi !

Yes I finally understood the importance of the thumbnails...

I tried hard to install ffmpeg, and i'll keep on, but i continously get the error: "Headers not found... Be sure to install with --enable-<something> option."

*) I created some thumbnails by hand and the videos appeared... is there an option to make TWG do the thumbnails by itself and put a standard icon ?

*) I'm still not able to stream local MP3, although I think I've did everythig that's necessary... the player says Playlist Not Found.

*) I dont know why, i dont get videos to stream (ive tried 2 mpg which i can normally see in my computer)


I hope I can get these to work, to fully use TWG !


Any advice ?

On my linux server I had to install 14 rpm's to get ffmpeg to work (windows is much easier - only 2 files have to be added to the path).

* Yes - TWG does make the thumbnails by itself using an standard icon. If ffmpeg is not available this can be done for reg. users in the backend.

* Then I think you did not do everthing right. Simply check the mp3 demo that is included. Are there any messages in the log file? The playlist file is in the cache folder: audiolist.xml. But it seems that only the html mode switches the songs right - i'll check this.

* avi's nomally do not stream. Only if the server supports this. Try to set
$linktowvx=false; to $linktowvx=true; Then TWG creats a playlist file for windows media player and if you server is nice than it streams.
For streaming FLV and divx are much better.

The right message is: Playlist not loaded !


There are no errors logged in the debug file generated while entering the MP3 album.... nor when trying to play the file....

The paths seem ok... Maybe I have the twg_audiolist.php in the wrong place... I put it in the directory where the file which includes TWG is located. I also changed the name of the original twg_audiolist file, just in case...

I also set the relative path from the installdir to the cache/audiolist.xml file in the $xmlfilename variable. When I view the audiolist.xml, I can infere paths are OK, as it is updated with the MP3 name, and the path locates the MP3 from the install dir up to the correct folder...








siran

how to you use TWG - included by php in a different file or standalone?

I just checked the twg_audiolist.php - I think I still have a testing path in there. I have to look at this tonight.

/Michael

included in a different file and directory



I imagine you mean somewhere else in the TWG source code. Because I adapted the path when I edited the twg_audiolist.php file... I changed the path to point, as I already said, from the installdir to the cache/audiolist.xml file...




thanks,

siran

first I have to fix the dhtml mode for mp3 - you can maybe try if there is a difference if you use the html mode.

/Michael

I trid HTML mode, no difference... i'm getting the Playlist Not Loaded message...


well, in fact, BIG difference, DHTML mode muuuuuch nicer : )
