s3 and conversion server

Jamroom Developers


Yes - you can change the number of conversion workers on a conversion server, and you can also run as many different conversion servers as you want. More info on setting it up will be online once we get it to beta.

Thanks!

Alternate sample files

Jamroom Developers

It's in the jrCore_steam_file view in the jrCore/index.php file. Specifically it looks for a ".sample" file - i.e. if it was going to stream:

jrAudio_75_audio_file.mp3

and it sees:

jrAudio_75_audio_file.mp3.sample.mp3

It will stream that instead IF the value of audio_file_item_price > 0.

You have full control over what file is streamed by registering an event listener for the "stream_file" event - if you return a $_data['stream_file'] value from your listener, the core will stream that file instead (if it exists).

Hope this helps!

The other layout with updated modules

Off Topic


I hear you on this - I did the same However, the number one problem we were having was users not being able to find their way to our other project profiles (i.e. Ning to Jamroom, Proxima, Genosis) which we felt was more important.

The download page however:

https://www.jamroom.net/download

is always updated with the latest...

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Skin Settings Error

Design and Skin Customization

Glad that fixed it up - thanks!

JPlayer & Firefox

Using Jamroom


Thanks for testing that out - I'll make sure that is fixed up in the next release.

Thanks!

Height - Width Issues in Timeline

Using Jamroom

The width is percentage based - for most "normal" (i.e. widescreen) videos this should work well. I do know there is a min height set somewhere in there that could be messing this up, so we can check that out.

Hope this helps!

Can't Find Forum Template

Design and Skin Customization

Ken - are you trying to remove the profile menu on your "site forum" page?

Thanks!

Arranging Tabs In Profiles: How Do You ?

Design and Skin Customization

Jamroom is very template based - if someone is unable to work with them at all, and is not willing to at least try, then Jamroom is probably not the platform for them. Jamroom really has been designed to be more flexible and powerful than other competing CMS's, but with that comes a little bit of a learning curve. We're OK with that and know that not everyone is going to be a Jamroom customer just because of that - maintaining that flexibility is more important to the product then putting a control in the ACP for every little option.

So just an FYI

Thanks!

s3 and conversion server

Jamroom Developers

Sorry to keep adding more, but Linode is even cheaper - since all bandwidth is "pooled" (shared among all instances) you can get 2TB transfer for $10 by simply adding another 1G Linode, which is 0.02 / GB.

Just to add as well (as I hadn't looked at it in a long time) was EC2 bandwidth pricing versus Linode - You have to move over 10TB per month before EC2 pricing drops below Linodes 0.10 per GB price - i.e. 20TB per month on AWS is going to run $2,100 versus $1,100 on Linode:

AWS:

1-10 TB @ 0.12 / GB
11 - 20 TB @ 0.09 / GB

Linode:

11-20 @ 0.10 / GB

So looks like bandwidth is even cheaper on Linode (unless I'm overlooking something).

Not a big deal, but more of an FYI since I assumed AWS was cheaper in that regards as well.

Thanks!
