I just created a video on my pc and i want to upload it to my website. i watched the video how to upload video but that's only to copy a video from youtube.

Uploading a video is just like uploading any other file. If you can't do it through media manager it might be because you aren't allowing that file type. Here's a tutorial that covers that.

If you use and FTP client you can upload it without changing the settings.

Cheers,
Ed

I have joomla 1.5 and i don't see media manager option. my video is mp4.

What should I do ?

Hi
In 1.5 if you go to Global configuration then system then under media settings you can add your extension.

HI JMC

I just added mp4 to the file extension on the media settings and uploaded it and i got this error message but i browsed the video and uploaded

"Please input a file for upload"

i created a folder on the media manager called videos and i tried to upload it there

HI sronald_76,

You need to add both mp4 and MP4 to the approved file list. You may also need to increase your memory limit for uploads.

You may need to increase your maximum upload file sizes in your php.ini file. This will show you how to do that. www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/installation-problems/

Video files contain two parts. A container and the format itself. Even though your file says it's mp4, that may only refer to the container and not the format. You may have to try converting your video to another format. There are lots of video conversion programs available on the internet. You should investigate those. Uploading videos is tricky.

Using FTP instead of the media manager will be the most foolproof method of uploading.

Check out the memory settings and the size of your file.

Let us know.

i uploaded my video using ftp and i can see the icon on my videos folders but it does not play when i click on it . i contacted my host company and they said "I am sorry but maximum size of a file that you can upload using php script is 10 Mb and there is no way of increasing it" what should i do now ?

If they are going to put restrictions on you that won't let you run the website the way you want, you are going to need to get another web host. Even if you have free hosting with this company it is costing you a tremendous amount of time and effort to get even the most basic of functions going.

See our resources page ostraining.com/resources

We generally recommend either Hostgator or Rochen. If budget is a consideration, look into Hostgator. I have used them for years and never run into these kinds of problems. They also have very good help and a huge forum with a Joomla section where you can ask questions and get answers.

actually i was able to upload the video. what is the best extension for video . i installed allvideo extension but i can not remove the share, embed and info and the logo jwplayer

you can check the video on smartpctek.com - click network support


any recommendations?

You have to make some changes to the program. We solved this for someone else. Here is the forum thread with the answer.

www.ostraining.com/support-forum/cooler/...g-from-jw-allvideos/

Please read that.

Also be sure to read all the directions on the Joomlaworks site. AllVideos is probably the most popular extension for videos. It should suit most purposes.

Cheers,
Ed

trying to remove the share on the video but i can find this :

Nestled deep in the forum I found the answer.

In plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php

change line 32 ‘oncomplete’: ‘false’

Same with line 58 'oncomplete': 'false'

To get rid of the "Menu" icon completely locate the code for plugins (your 'oncomplete' may be set to true).

Change:

'plugins': {
'viral-2': {
'onpause': 'false',
'oncomplete': 'false'
}
},

to:

'plugins': {},

You have to do this on both lines 29 and 50

where is it :-(

It should be in this file

Are you having trouble locating the file?
ed

yes

Hi Ronald,

You have to use your host's file manager (e.g. cPanel >> file manager), then go to your plugins folder, then your content folder, then your jw_allvideos folder, then your includes folder, then edit the sources.php file.

In development, the path is used as a short way of saying the above. So plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php means the same thing as the above paragraph.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Nick

should i do this on the document root or web root(public_html/www)?
i clicked on the wed root . i followed the path until sources.php but nothing happened when i clicked on it.

Hi Ronald,

The webroot.

Are you using cPanel? If so, there should be an edit code button in the top toolbar. Other file managers should have the same.

Kind regards,
Nick

yes i am . when i clicked code editor i got this page tex editor

Text Editor
Back up the original file before converting character sets, since this action can produce unexpected results.

You will be editing:
/public_html/smartpctek.com/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php

Hi Ronald,

Select UFT-8 in there.

dont see what i have to change

sronald_76,

I checked my installation of allvideos. Here is the path to the folder with the file on my server. Which is slightly different than the one reported. Different versions may have it in different locations, so double check your directories for it.

/public_html/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php

I checked it and made a screenshot of the contents and highlighted the lines that need to be changed.

If you're file does not have these lines, try reinstalling allvideos. Try getting Free Script editor, which is what I used to make the screen shot.

www.freescripteditor.org/download.php

If you have the correct file, the line numbers should match the screen shot, and the lines you need to change will be there.
