video watermarked and coversion questions


Installation and Configuration

Make sure you remove ALL cloud modules - those are going to mess it up if you have them installed.

Thanks!

Installation and Configuration

Isleander:Thanks Brian... Yes works now!

Glad to hear that.

Quote:However, my groups (Admin) are not showing up now in the front page box "Top Groups", although other user's groups are showing.

I think someone else reported this as well - I will check it out.

Isleander:Still having problems with video files not loading to the JR Video Player. Will only load in Firefox.

I'm not aware of any issues with Video - do you have a link to a video that is not playing in browsers besides Firefox?

Thanks!

Latest Ning Import and NingJa skin updates


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Brian, this is terrific! you're the best!

Question on my specific situation: I held off on updating to the two 'new' Groups modules from a week ago or so, and thus I did not follow the instructions you laid out for updating them and deleting the 'old' group modules.
Should I do all that now BEFORE I update what you released today? OR should I bypass that and simply go directly to updating what you released today and then delete my original group modules that i never updated last week? (ugh, this question is clear as mud, sorry...)

No problem. It's actually easier now if you're OK re-importing your groups, discussions and pages. Just do this:

- go into the marketplace and update everything that is available to be updated

- go into the ACP -> Ning Support - Ning Import module.

- Click on the "Global Config" tab. make sure you have entered the Profile ID you want your SYSTEM FORUM to be located on in the "Site Forum Profile ID" config option (this is new). Most likely you want it on YOUR profile, which is probably "1". You can do ACP -> Users -> Profile Browser to browse the ID's available on your system. Save your changes.

- click on the "Import Ning Archive" Tab.

Make sure all the select options say "Do Nothing" EXCEPT the following:

- Profile Forum
- Group Support
- Group Discussions
- Group Pages
- Page Creator

Set all of those to 'Delete and Create (all items re-created)'

- press the "Import Selected Items" button.

When complete, all the Groups, Discussions, Pages and Forum entries should be setup.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

conversion priority for music like vids have


Suggestions

soaringeagle:the cpus are fast and were noyt showing much use the servers got 8 3.2ghz and during the conversion process averaged about 0.01
at highest was 0.17 and that i think was just during my 200+ gig ftp upload
memory averaged 15-17% never going over 20

1 thing when installing the script and seeing i needed ffmpeg the server admins installed it at a diferent location then the sys test looked for but then paul i think installed a 2nd copy within the install directory somewhere

Jamroom will use the one it is shipped with, which is recommended. If you have 8 3.2ghz CPUs then your audio conversions should fly.

Quote:he also installed the cloud modules wich caused alot of issues
now that the queues clear maybe i should re-enable the cloud modules for testing/

Delete all the cloud modules from your server - they are not going to work.

Hope this helps!

See my followup here:

https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/forum/questions-about-jamroom/17049/video-watermarked-and-coversion-questions

basically if you're seeing slow audio conversion on a dedicated server, something is wrong with your server config (or your CPUs are really slow).

Thanks!

Sorry!

Residence Address


Genosis

lisa:I love the map feature and some of my fellow researchers have said the same thing! What is the best way to put in a residence so it appears (general area at least) on the map? I have been putting the full address in the location, but I am wondering if there is a better way? Thanks! ~ Lisa

Yeah this is tricky - I've found the best way to do it is to load Google Maps in another tab and "experiment" a bit with it - I've seen addresses that are no where close on the map, and other addresses that are not found. For the most part Google Maps is pretty good at "figuring out" what you mean, but it doesn't hurt to test it first.

Also - if you're getting back in time, and you've got relatives from say "Prussia" (or any other country that no longer exists today) then you'll want to do a Google Maps search on JUST the town name and see what modern day country it exists in, and use that as the Location (if you want it to be mapped).

Hope this helps!

Sourcing a 2-Page Document


Genosis

lisa:Interesting. I'll see if there is some way to do that with Windows. I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVE this program you designed! It's a lot fun and informative! The interface is different than the genealogy program on my computer because with the timeline I can see better what is missing! It's fun "developing" an ancestor. Thank you again!

Awesome - I really appreciate that! I've been super busy traveling and working with some other (high priority) issues with our other Projects, but I've got some additional modules I'll be releasing shortly that I think you'll like. I'll be getting back to doing some Genosis work as well and will get caught up on the outstanding requests.

Thanks!
