I got the code to work but its still no good because it only works with wmv files. Why does the script not convert mp4 into flv or maybe I just dont know how?
By default, vShare will not reconvert a .flv file or a .mp4 (it doesn't reconvert .flv files because it's already in the proper format. The original reason why it doesn't reconvert .mp4 files is because the flash standard allows for playback of those files. However, this, in my opinion, is a mistake because the only version of MP4 that is compatible with flash is H.264 and not the entire MPEG-4 suite of encodings). You would have to modify vShare to have it reconvert all files if you want the hardcoded mod to work on those files.
Hello bplex, so I was kind of guessing in the right direction as to what you said. I wouldn't know where to begin with that, would this be in the same file video_conversion.php and can you point me in the right direction?
No. It would be in the functions_upload.php. You would have to modify it such that it converts all files and not just files other than .flv and .mp4.
Thanks, I kinda laughed when opened that, like I might need neo to help me out with this one :) Thats some serious php coding, but I should be looking for .flv, upload, convert somewhere along those line in there im guessing.
Here is a section of the code where I am guessing the modification needs to be done. I just want to make sure I am in the right place.
I see the section that says:
$outExtn = '.flv';
$rand_flv_name = $rand_name . '.flv';
if ($file_extn == 'mp4')
{
$rand_flv_name = $rand_name . '.mp4';
$outExtn = '.mp4';
}
I am lost please help anyone.

It took me a long time to figure this out but on vShare 2.7 you would need to edit /include/functions_upload.php. Find and delete the code below ( it is past the middle of the file )
or just change the 'flv' extention to something like 'txt' . It should look like thisCode:if ($file_extn == 'flv')
{
$log_text = "<h2>MOVING UPLOADED FLV: $video_src => $video_flv</h2>";
write_log($log_text, $log_file_name, $debug, 'html');
if (! copy($video_src, $video_flv))
{
$log_text = 'ERROR: moving uploaded file failed';
write_log($log_text, $log_file_name, $debug, 'html');
}
}
else
I hope this helps.Code:if ($file_extn == 'txt')

what about this piece right above that one?PHP Code:if ($file_extn == 'flv' || $file_extn == 'mp4')
{
$log_text = "<h2>MOVING UPLOADED FLV: $video_src => $video_flv</h2>";
write_log($log_text, $log_file_name, $debug, 'html');

How come no one else replied to this? It must not work.
Look like this method won't work with current version of mencoder.

I actually paid vsharesolutions to do it for me. They set it where it even hardcode the flv files. The only thing is it won't work with the Mobility Module.
Ok Remember to change the /home/USER/public_html to your path to vshare. Ok I'm not understanding exactly what that line wants me to do exactly
/home/CPANEL-USER-NAME-HERE/public_html
No we're talking about putting a hardcoded watermark in our videos so when people download them the watermark still shows up and I followed the steps in the description at beginning of page but it's not working I'm currently using vshare 2.7
