YouTube Module Start Time


Jamroom Developers

jimmyk:I've entered several youtu.be domains and they've all been accepted.

Really should think about adding the time parameter. A lot of people use that feature on YT especially with longer videos which the poster just wants a section of the video.

Go into the Form Designer for the create/update YouTube forms and create a new field called "youtube_time" of type "text". Then you can add:

&t={$item.youtube_time}

to the URL in the item_detail.tpl file.

Hope this helps!

after final import any hope for duplicate photo deletes


Installation and Configuration

Honestly the Ning Archive "format" is pretty much a mess. Paul has done a great job getting code in place to "clean things up", but we run into new "gotchas" fairly frequently. I get a feeling that Ning doesn't really want you to take your data, so they "sabotage" it a bit.

missing an item key?


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Is there a datastore browser for user profiles?

It's there - it's called "Browse User Accounts". Since the User module provides an "override" for the core browser it has it's own name. I was looking right at it and did not see it.

Since it is an InnoDB table those numbers aren't actually correct - refresh and you're likely to get a different number. But you have a lot!

thechocolatelife:I updated the module and there is no longer a DataStore browser link in the Developer Tools > Tools menu and the link to Database Admin does take you to the adminer page.

Is there a datastore browser for user profiles?

Yeah there is - and I can see the module is not picking that up. I'll check it out.

Cloud requirements


Using Jamroom

DannyA:For #2- You might want to update the cloud documentation. It does not indicate you need the audio and video modules on the conversion worker. I think this is where there is where I keep getting confused. You say you have to install jamroom core. But my main JR site has many modules besides the core. This includes audio and video. However I thought the core included ffmpeg and other tools so the audio and video modules weren't necessary.

When I say "Jamroom Core" I just mean the free Jamroom Core - NOT all the modules that are on your site. And although the core provides ffmpeg, the Audio and Video modules are what provide all the logic and functions to do the actual WORK. The only functionality the core provides is media meta data reading using FFMpeg.

Quote:Additionally, this means that each additional conversion server needs:
1 Core client ($$ unknown)
1 Queue client ($$ unknown)
1 worker client ($$ unknown)
1 Audio client ($29)
1 Vidio client ($29)

That's for each Conversion Worker. You only need Audio and Video on the Conversion Workers.

Quote:It seems this could get expensive. It would be great if you just charged for the masters and let the clients be unlimited. And if the core components needed from the audio and video modules were included in the core. The point is we are not really using the full audio/video modules on each worker; just the free conversion tools.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here - the Conversion Workers use the functions from the Audio and Video support modules to do conversions.

Quote:#4- Which modules are safe to disable on conversion workers? (sorry, still getting terminology right)

If you go here:

https://www.jamroom.net/jamroom-cloud/documentation/installation/2219/setting-up-a-dedicated-conversion-service

You only need to install the FREE Jamroom Core + the modules outlined for each of the server types.

I know the docs are limited right now but I'm slowly getting them done. Any questions I can help.

Quote:#6- For the conversion server, is it better to have more memory or more cores? How does each affect performance?

It depends a little:

- more cores = more simultaneous conversions going on
- more memory - LARGER files will convert faster

1 GIG RAM per Core should be fine.

Quote:#7- Do you have any recommendations for disabling/securing the jamroom sites on the cloud servers (conversion, log, etc), so that they are only used by the main site? It seems silly to have a bunch of unconfigured jamroom sites just sitting there that people can try to log into.

- All communication between servers is encrypted (SHA256)
- disable signups on any server that users are not logging in to
- run the Cloud Skin on the servers - it's a minimal skin that disables profiles (skin setting)

Like Michael pointed out too - if you plan on running A LOT of servers, the VIP Unlimited subscription was designed for that - all modules and skins are free on as many servers as you would like.

Hope this helps!

Quoting text and Editing comments in forum posts


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Brian -

If it was easy, even Ning could do it. But then it would take a team of project managers three months to argue about where to put it in the roadmap. By which point. Why? lol

To paraphrase someone who's probably famous: "The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a liiiiiiiiiitttttttllllllllle bit longer."

Yep - true :)

I think I know what's going on here though and I will get it fixed for the next Profile Forum release (basically when using the editor we don't want to convert HTML entities).

Thanks!

thechocolatelife:Even if Ben is the only member the  appears for (and I don't think this is the case) the missing paragraphs in the quote are just as much of an issue.

This is tricky - I think that's due to using the editor. I'll see if I can spot why that is happening.
