Better Download Video Mod

When i try to download a FLV video with Firefox, it open me a new page with the flv code instead of downloading the file.

Like this:

Code:

---

It only do this with firefox, works fine with IE. Any idea why?

you probably have your firefox options set to view the file in firefox rather than download it.

Yes, its what I thought, but i tried to find or modify some download options in my firefox browser and it didnt fixed anything.

Here is a flv video link that you can try to download using firefox. Tell me if you can download it please.

http://worldadstv.com/flvideo/1190149202636709181.flv

cant you right click on it and save the file?

Yes, its working that way

hey,

can the Download only aviable for Gold Packages etc?

if there was smarty code for packages then yes it would be easy to give paying members extra features...but currently no

Hi,

This doesn't seem to work for me. I am using verison 2.6


This is the text mentioned in this mod
"{if $allow_download == 1}
[img]{$baseurl}/templates/images/download.png[/img] Download
{/if}"

In version 2.6 the text in view_video.tpl has been changed to:

"{if $allow_download == 1 && $video_info.vtype eq 0}
[img]{$baseurl}/templates/images/download.png[/img] Download
{/if}"

Now when I make the change and try to download the video I get the message "user not found"

Any suggestion on how to get this working :)

Thanks


What I want to do is allow anyone to download the flv version of the file.

I don't allow for downloads on my sites since the .flvs are not watermarked with my domain names, otherwise I'd probably allow it...but this is a great addition to the script! Thanks for "vSharing" :D

Speaking of branding the videos...anybody got a good resource for that or how to do it? Oh, never mind, I'll either search the forums or start another post on that subject....

how do you add it in?
