Large Video Conversion - Time Out
Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:I just did a test
Using my DSL connection I uploaded an 80 MB video in 12 minutes
Converting it ( from time I hit create to the time I could play the video) was 43 seconds
The output file is still the original 80 MB

You can see the test video quality and audio here

I wil lleave the link up for an hour or so then remove it

Is this using the ffmpeg settings you post above?

Thanks!

Large Video Conversion - Time Out
Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:Thinking out loud- mines converting really fast BUT like Brian was saying earlier- they are not compressed much- in fact they are the same file size as the original

So I am wondering if there is a way to let them upload initially like mine (uncompressed)

Then have something on the server compress them at an off peak time during the night?

Seems like someone would have something like this- ever heard of it?

Just wondering

Most users are not going to want to wait a day for their videos to work properly, and if you are not compressing the video in any way it could be problematic for mobile / low bandwidth users.

Large Video Conversion - Time Out
Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:
brian:However, there's still an issue here with your server - our conversions appear to run much, much faster (over 4 times faster) than on your server, so something is limiting you on your end.

However, as you saw (attached above), according to Jamroom's own performance tests - my speed is good. So in order for what you say to be true, your conversion server would have to be a "monster" built 4 times faster than the baseline for your performance tests (and beyond what most people can afford).

There's a lot more involved in audio and video conversion than you'll get out of the performance test. I converted the 315mb movie you sent me earlier in well under an hour, and the same video was timing out after 4 HOURS on your server. So something is slower about your server - there's no way around that.

I just don't have any suggestions for you at this time.

Sorry!

Does not count correctly?
Using Jamroom

We would need your login info for this, as I cannot reproduce it anywhere here. Send your JR login and FTP login to support [at] jamroom [dot] net - I will do my best to check it out when I can.

FOXYCART NOT WORKS
Installation and Configuration

I'm sorry to hear that - once setup it works excellent. Did you check your error log at FoxyCart? It's really not hard to setup.

Since you purchased this module as part of the Super Pack, we can't do a refund on it.

Thanks!

amwproductions:Hey brain i have set all the same settings not works on my site i can add items into the cart the checkout not works

Then you will need to double check your settings - you've got something setup wrong, as it all works if configured right.

Quotas Module
Suggestions

jimmyk:Yea, that's one of the first things I noticed about JR5 now that I'm actually working with it. I love how everything is modular in the new system, but thought to myself, it's going to take me a long time to add quota permissions to the modules if I need to create a quota "on the fly" or have 5 quotas on my system.

If you have a LOT of quotas, and need to each have to very different settings, then yes - I could see it taking a bit. But isn't this really a "one time" thing? After you're setup how helpful is the module going to be?

I hate spending a lot of energy on modules that are used once then forgotten unless they offer a real significant advantage.
