JMultimedia is a suite of tools for joomla! That let you easily create your own Multimedia Streaming portal wjth Joomla! JMultimedia is a project from Google Sumer of Code 2008 developed by Marcelo Eden and mentored by Matheus Mendes, On http://3den.org/jootube/ you can test and have fun with some frontend functionalities of the JMultimedia Suite.

Multimedia, the "EXTREMAL MEDIA PORTAL SOLUTION" for joomla! its main goal is to simplify the creation of videoblogs and Streaming sites like youtube. JMultimedia uses DenVideo plugin to automatically detect and display videos from many Steaming sites, in many media formats, and can be easily extended and customized.

Users can add videos from any supported server (like brightcove) just by inserting videos the URL, JMultimedia automatically detects in runtime how to display it. Files from supported types can also be uploaded to the local server (using Joomla upload function), and they will be stored on the default media folder. Administrators can also select what media formats and streaming server will be accepted and who can comment and add and view videos.

Installer bug has been fixed!

Posted this earlier...didnt see this post sorry

so heres my problem, i have recently installed the new jmultimedia component to allow me to have a video gallery / library that can play youtube vids etc...
It all seems to work perfectly well (although still in development stage) in both firefox and opera.
but for some reason when viewing videos in ie7 the video size is reduced.

please check the following link
http://www.every-dog.co.uk/saints/index ... &Itemid=94

this shows a youtube vid using the denvideo module and a youtube vid from the jmultimedia component (jmultimedi rely's on the denvideo plugin)

if i view the source of the page, the den video pulls the width and the height from the plugin paramaters but for the jmultimedia they seem to be missing.

this one is beyond my programming/coding kmowledge so any help would be greatly appreciated (as i cannot get seyret to work on my site)

Hello,
The width and height are at: components/com_jmultimedia/assets/default.css
there you can edit all jmultimedia styles, this styles always will be replaced by your template styles so you can fully customize how videos will be displayed.

/**
* Player
*/
#jmultimedia #player{
width: 500px;
min-height: 350px;
border: #000000 inset 10px;
background: #000000;
position: relative;
}
#jmultimedia #player .denvideo{
width: 100%;
min-height: 350px;
}

But if you dont want to change css, dont wory the next version, coming monday, will have width and height on component configurations so you can easily set your desired SIZE for videos.

Re:


Granted this will change the size of the player but there def. seems to be a problem with the actual video size (not the player size) on ie7. It is working properly on firefox.

I'm also having a problem trying to exclude commenting. I can't (or don't know how to) edit or delete comments so I want to disable them which I can't seem to do through the global config..

Hi,

I really liked the clean style of your component, keep good work.

But when i try to upload video file from my computer i get WARNFS_ERR03 or if the file is bigger it send me back to main administrator page..

I tested with youtube link and it works.

Please help. I using last night build "All in one 0.7"

I´m testing on wamp windows server.

Thank you

Helo you can exclude or unpublish comments on administrator page,
Ive already started to work on the size insue

Thanks for reply ill work on that

Thanks for the quick reply but as Natural pointed out this only changes the player size and not the video size. (i see you are already onto this issue)

i have noticed a couple of other bugs / issues

I also have problems with uploading local videos. Although i wont be using this feature on my site i just thought id let you know. when i click save after adding a local vid it just goes to browser default cannot find webpage. settings are set to allow files of up to 2500kb vid size 1950kb

on compact mode if you have a large desription it floats over the top of the player and also does not push the page down check this link http://www.every-dog.co.uk/saints/index ... Itemid=100

if i find any more ill post here

3dentech,

I fixed the upload problem making the maximun upload size on PHP.ini larger, now upload work flawless.

Other issue:
Dont have a way to put thumbnails on local video files? I dont found it..


Thanks and keep the good work.

Hi everything installed great as far as the complete package all except for the component i tried installing the com_jmultimedia packages both versions from the site, and i cant get it to install no matter what. It always says ;

* Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.


Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home2/thedail8/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 235

Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home2/thedail8/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 251
Unable to find install package

any light on this ?

Hello,
The size proble is now fixed! Now you can also select diferent styles on component config, customize the size and more! thake a look at http://3den.890m.com/denjoomla/All.In.One_Last.Version/ .

Notice that you can only upload files shorter then your server limit, for most server this size is very limited , something like 2mb, and also there is the max request time if a file is to big, 1.9mb is very big to load, the page will bug, so this upload is better for pictures, next version ajax will be implemented to handle files from any size

thanks for your replies, and congratulations for your site

Hello,
Its not possible to generate automatic thumbnails from local video files, yet..
but on components/com_jmultimedia/assets/thumbs there are the sample thumbs for each format so you can replace it with other pictures, but remember to keep the same filename

Its fixed,

GOTO JooTUBE

i used the latest release / fix, and still gves me the same error, what am i doing wrong .:P

ok my bad the zip file just needed to be configured :P

ok it works great but when in the gallery list i have a thing on top that says JHTMLcontent not supported. File not found.

how to i fix that?

go to jmultimedia backend and select style,
on global configs
can you explain when and how its happenig?

Hi,

First off great job on the release, it's really great!

I'd just like to know how best to install new versions when they are released? Do I overwrite package files or use the Joomla installer? Or something else entirely?

Thanks!

hey, its happening on the video category layout you can see here http://www.thedailypb.com/index.php?Itemid=91

lemme know what you think thanks!

Hello 3dentech! First all, many thanks for your work, this component looks promising... I've installed it but i can't get to upload my videos. Videos from URL (like youtube) works well, but the upload doesn't work... First i installed the latest version from your site and then when trying to upload an AVI file (3Mb) i got an error message saying that i haven't permissions to write the folder (the folder exists and i have permissions, i'm ussing WAMP server on WinXP), so today i've downloaded SVN version and overwrited all component files. Now it just doesn't work, i don't get any error message, but the form is shown again empty...

any ideas??

best regards,

Do you know what is the problem?
Is there any simple solution for this 2 problems?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am having an issue with the JMultimedia component. I installed the module without any issue, however, when I tried installing the component, it says;

"Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/therogu1/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 235

Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/therogu1/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 251"

Any suggestions?

I am using Joomla 1.5.5

To use JMultimedia, I have to download and install every one of these extensions from this page?

http://3den.890m.com/denjoomla/All.In.One_Last.Version/

com_jmultimedia_v0.7.3.zip
com_unicomments_v0.7.1.zip
mod_denvideo_v2.0.zip
mod_jmultimedia_v1.0.zip
plg_comments_1.0.zip
plg_denvideo_v3.0.zip

Hello,
This is a very good question
You can just uninstall and the old version and install new one.

* for plugins when the new version is installed you must reconfig the plugin setings and enabe it,
* for components just reconfig the component global parameters,
* for modules joomla delete some modudule you created, so if you dont whant to recreate then you can only copy and overwrite old files

JMultimedia dont drop tables on uninstall so your data wont be loosed, if some change is made data base the installer will automatically update it,
You can also just copy and overwrite everything, I dint tested this, i think this works but there is no guaranty

Man,
fist of all Congratulations your site looks great, and paintball rules ive played some zombie like mode

Did you tested with style "simple.css", this seams to be an joomla bug are you using j1.5.6?

As it uses downt uses ajax download and most server have a very limited max size and timelimit, is not recomendet to upload files bigger then 1mb,
but you can go to your php.ini file and set an biger file size limit (more than 3mb) and an bigger request limit ( more then 60 seconds)
You need to make sure the directory that you are uploading has r/w permissions (not readonly)

download and install from here http://3den.890m.com/denjoomla/All.In.One_Last.Version/

Did your site gives this bug when installing other components?
Make sure your joomla is 1.5.6, see if your server permits zip

some server dont support the captcha functionality so you can turn captcha off,
this very strange bug, you can check if the files on the package was sended to your site

upload to joomla 1.5.6,
This seams to be a bug of j1.5 on some servers,
you can work around this unzipnig and uploading the package to your site dri:
/home/therogu1/public_html/libraries/joomla/tmp/ <- upload here
then try to install from folder

yes every thing must be installed to use all JMultimedia functionalities,
Comments and denVideo can also be used independent from other extensions in Articles or other 3rd extensions
