all images watermarked yet shouldnt be and videos (uploaded) don't play

Installation and Configuration

I've just pushed up Image Support 2.0.1 - update to that, reset images caches, and let me know if that works better. I found some bugs in how the price was being checked internally in the image module that could be what you're seeing.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

User signup not firing listeners

Installation and Configuration


The jrUser (Users) module is the module that triggers the User events - it's part of the Jamroom Core. I think you mean that the Proxima User module is not firing jrUser events when an account is created using Proxima.

Like I mentioned above I am checking it out.

Header X-Frame-Options

Installation and Configuration

You can disable the X-Frame header in Jamroom Core 6.1.1 - go to the Core -> Tools -> Advanced Config and enter:

jrCore_disable_xframe

for the "config key" and

1

for the "config value" and save

Reset caches and that should disable the X-Frame header

Let me know if that helps.

all images watermarked yet shouldnt be and videos (uploaded) don't play

Installation and Configuration

I have just tested watermarking here and am seeing no issues. The watermark config is a Quota config - make sure you have disabled it in EACH quota, and then reset image caches.

Note that Chrome is very aggressive about caching as well - it can still show you the watermarked image even when it no longer exists - make sure you test with a different browser and refresh the image.

Discussions module

Using Jamroom


It was something custom created for some Ning users that wanted a forum that operated more like the Ning "forum". To be honest it was never meant to be released - I'm not sure how it ended up in the Marketplace.

It's not scalable and is not something you want to use at this time.

User signup not firing listeners

Installation and Configuration

I'm checking this out. Originally the Proxima user service was designed to create more "light weight" user accounts than what is normally created in Jamroom, but it seems like most sites are using it for JR integration (instead of stand alone) so let me see what needs to be done to get the events integrated correctly.

Thanks!

Latest Videos Module

Installation and Configuration

Is that a widget or from a template? If it is a widget, then making the column it is in wider should make it wider. If not, you can modify the widget templates in the Video module templates tab to make the image larger.

Let me know if that helps.

Discussions module

Using Jamroom

Yep - this was removed since it is also is not very performant - if you plan on having thousands of discussions, use the Forum module - it is much better equipped to scale.

Latest Videos Module

Installation and Configuration

The video player will adjust to the size of the widget I believe - so you need to give more columns to widget in the page layout.

Let me know if that helps.

Hosted Conversion Service has been shut down

Announcements

With the release of Jamroom 6.1 we changed a number of things internally with the Video module that affected how video files were converted and stored - many of you know this since one of the steps for upgrading to Jamroom 6.1 is to run the new "Verify Video Files" tool in the video module. This tool goes through the existing videos and rebuilds and renames files so that going forward there is better video support on a wider array of devices and browsers.

One of the challenges we were running into was trying to support both Jamroom 6.1+ as well as 6.0.7 (and older) installs of Jamroom using the Conversion service for media encoding. This proved to be much more problematic than we had anticipated in our pre Jamroom 6.1 testing, and the only good solution would have been to build a second cluster specifically for Jamroom 6.1+ installs.

After analyzing the Conversion server usage over the past month, it became clear that only a small handful of Hosted users were utilizing the conversion service on their site, so the decision was made to shut down the conversion cluster and move the media conversions back to the hosted server.

For most of you, this is going to have no impact on your site - you already were not using the Conversion service, or the number of audio or video files being encoded was very, very small. For those of you that could be impacted by this change, I have already personally contacted you by email and given you a heads up on this change.

Taking away a "feature" is not something we are used to doing - in fact I'm not sure we've ever done it before. While you may not have been currently using the service, the fact that it was featured as part of our hosting product means you might have - and so I have to apologize for shutting the service down. It wasn't a decision that was made lightly - we have been deliberating this for several days, but ultimately we'd prefer to spend our development and support time on features and updates that the majority of our users can utilize and enjoy.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or concerns. If you are worried that your existing hosting server may not be up to media conversion tasks in the future, and you were planning on using the conversion service, please contact us - we want to make sure you are happy with Jamroom Hosted and will work with you to come up with a good solution.

Thanks everyone!
