Time to spice up the Timeline!

We have a module for the wall that will come out after the site builder system is stable.

Disable social sharing


Installation and Configuration

Not at jamrooms end. The users are able to choose whether they link their profiles to the active system.

If the admin activates the network there is no way to not allow sharing via that network. You could add it as a Feature Request in the "Suggestions".

Video File Size Upload


Ning To Jamroom

With that info my guess starts pointing towards the server and its ability to convert the video.

Both YouTube and Vimeo have a ton of processing power at their disposal to do the video conversion. What I suspect is that there is some sort of server limit on your account.

When a video is uploaded to your site, jamroom converts it into formats that are viewable via the web. For video that is:
* .flv
* .m4v

.flv is flash and plays in adobe flash player but wont play on some mobile phones (eg: iPhone ). and .m4v is for html5 players.

So when you upload a .mov file the server has a lot of work to do.

I suspect that firefox is playing it because it doesn't mind that the video is only half there but the other browsers are being more strict.

Take a look in your server's logs to see if there is anything that might indicate this is/is_not the case.

--edit--
We've got a system planned for cases like this that will allow you to out-source the conversion phase of the video/audio to some of our servers then pass back the finished playable version so you won't run into that sort of issue, but its a ways off yet.

Npages - Embed not working


Ning To Jamroom

Check your item_details.tpl page code and compare it with the one in the jrPage module. I suspect that its missing something like |jrCore_format_string

the page one looks like this:
{$item.page_body|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id:null:nl2br}

so your one will probably be something like item.npage_body

video watermarked and coversion questions


Ning To Jamroom

soaringeagle:..ok but then would need to maintain multiple servers ofour own?..
Its an option for those that need to expand.

There will be other options too like out-sourcing some of your conversion power to servers setup to do it so your servers can continue to deliver the site.

ningja 1.03 profiles the great and thed almost great


Ning To Jamroom

There are a bunch of issues in the tracker here, its just that they are all tagged private.

The pattern that seams to be normal is: the thread in the forums is where we keep the public info so everyone can talk about it, then we read and put any needed info into the tracker.

It works well when threads stay on one topic, but when threads get added to after the first issue is solved it gets a little messier.

So if you have a specific issue if you put it in a thread, then we can use the SOLVED functionality as a type of public issue tracker.

eg: look at the forums threads page here:
"Questions about Jamroom"
https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/forum/questions-about-jamroom

and find "Video File Size Upload". You'll see its marked as SOLVED.

Not so many forum posts in this ning-to-jamroom section get marked as SOLVED because its more of a discussion atmosphere than a "How do i do this" question one.

We are reading though and there is a tracker. :)

Video File Size Upload


Ning To Jamroom

I think its the video. Try re-uploading it.

Take a look at the video I uploaded in chrome, it seams to play for me. You?
YOUR-SITE.COM/(the directory)/michael/video/4/test-video-big-bunny

signing off for today now, back tomorrow.

Video File Size Upload


Ning To Jamroom

First ideas:

Try switching skin back to one of the default ones, then see if the video plays in chrome.

My guess would be if it does work after the skin is changed then it could be related to that red box on the side that you've added. Just a guess though as javascript is usually the first place that things break at.

See how that goes.

--edit--

I can see it breaking here in chrome too, so will see what I can figure out. the error is:
"206 Partial Content"

Isleander:
Michael, thanks for checking this.
I unchecked both boxes in the User Daily Limits but still cannot play the video. The same error message appears. So I am rather stumped with this.

mmmm, its working for me at (not sure if you want your link public so):
YOUR-SITE.COM/(the directory)/admin/video/3/give-thanks-test-video

When I'm logged out, it plays now where it didn't before. Try logging out or a different browser.

The usual things to do when something doesn’t work is to run the integrity check and/or clear the caches.

Those processes are outlined here:
