Only default template seems to work

same issue...

Same here. Only the "default" template works. When the "shock player" or "simpleblack" templates are selected, the player shows up but, the gears just continue to spin indefinitely. Clicking on the play button while the gears are spinning gets no results.

I am unable to reproduce this issue. Is your drupal setup within a subdirectory? I found an issue recently where this might be related.

Yes, my drupal setup is within a subdirectory (c:\public_html\drupal7) where public_html is set as the web root.

My current setup includes the latest devs of Media 7.x-2.x-dev, Styles 7.x-2.x-dev, and Mediafront 7.x-1.x-dev.

BTW, this will be a fantastic module once all of the kinks are worked out. I have a couple of other issues that I will post under a separate que.

This actually may be relevant. I am currently investigating how the player behaves when loaded within a subdirectory. I made a fix yesterday with the templates, but will do some more testing with other functionality later this week and this weekend.

I am having similar issues - I upgraded to the newest dev version and that seemed to help with i18n incompatibility issue, but still having trouble.

One video is now playing in chrome but not firefox and I can see lots of not found errors for the template images, it is looking for them in the wrong place.

My sites is on shared drupal install so the path will need to start /sites/sitename.org/modules/mediafront/players etc not sitename.org/var/www/web349/web/drupal_files/modules/mediafront/players/ which is where it is looking for them, i.e. it is taking the server path and trying to put it after the domain name which wont work.

There must be a function that determines the path to use as a base which is not quite right, will try to find it but any clues appreciated.

When you said you tried the latest DEV, when was this? I have made some changes within the past couple of weeks that I thought fixes some path issues, but you may have already tested those changes. Please let me know when you tried the latest DEV version.

Thanks,

Travis.

I meant the 28th sept one - but it might only affect me due to the shared install and different file structure - ideally would be great if there was a setting for base path to module or something like that - maybe it is somewhere in the module code?

Thanks

Define "different file structure". Drupal assumes at least a somewhat standard file structure for modules which is why a setting is not necessary, so I am curious if your issue may be that you have your files in a non-standard location.

>My sites is on shared drupal install so the path will need to start /sites/sitename.org/modules/mediafront/players

This is standard for a shared install but I guess for single installation it would be /sites/default/modules/mediafront/players instead, that was what I meant. So my uploaded files are in /sites/sitename.org/files/ too.

Since drupal allows you to set the path for uploaded documents this is normally not an issue but occasionally modules hard code path locations so that they don't work well on shared installs.

For me it does not matter which skin/template i try I get broken images for the player buttons etc.

Thanks for any clues on where these paths might be set.

I think I found something - the file in /files/css/osmplayer/mediafront_osm.css has some definate paths that correspond to my page not found errors - I will try changing the paths in this css file and see what happens. Presumably these paths are generated somehow since they are specific to my site - the problem is they seem to be using server path rather than public url.

To confirm when I manually changed the paths in that file:

/files/css/osmplayer/mediafront_osm.css

Nearly all the page not found errors go away and the player works. Still in Chrome the "play.png" button does not appear and is looking in wrong directory. Any idea where in the module code these incorrect paths are being generated?

Thanks

For me only 'default' template support playlist from view. Other templates work only with single node.

Hello,
I am using a free theme named Soft Technology from http://www.drupalove.com/drupal-theme/drupal-7-free-soft-technology-busi.... I have placed this theme in xampp/htdocs/sites/all/themes. Everything works perfect except MediaFront.

When I want to add a media content, the preview works fine, but once i saved and go to the front page to play the content, I only see the gears spinning indefinitely.

Please help, I need this grate module so badly !!

heyay,

Please check your site in a browser like Chrome with the Developer Tools enabled. Now, look at the bottom right of the tools and see if there is a red exclamation point icon. If you see this, then it means there is something in your site that may be crashing JavaScript. This is a very common issue where the player just doesn't work. Let me know if this helps.

I'm having this same issue actually on one site install but not another. The installs are both at the directory root so I don't think that's an issue. I'm also not getting an javascript errors. Using default template works, but simpleblack and shockplayer cause the video to just spin indefinitely and not load.

If you are displaying MediaFront in a node, then the simpleblack, shockplayer, and default templates are displayed. If you are displaying MediaFront using a View (for playlists), only the default template works.

This is a known issue that hopefully will be resolved in the future.

I have marked #1303626: MediaFront Format will not work in Views as a duplicate of this. Of the helpful information from that issue, is the following:

After digging into the code.... The non-default players are not configured to work with views as a playlist. (Comment #11)

As a recap, in both D6 and D7, shockplayer and simpleblack cannot be used as the selected template when displaying MediaFront in a view. Instead, the user sees a spinning wheel. If you choose "default" as the template, videos are displayed correctly.

When displaying MediaFront in single nodes, the simpleblack, shockplayer, and default templates can be used.

Ultimately, all of the templates that come preloaded with MediaFront should display in single nodes and in Views playlists.

Okay, so are we going to try and get all of the templates Views-friendly?

ryan,

I am working on this right now with the 2.x upgrade to pull in the playlist into the other templates, so I would say that within the month this will be resolved.

I cannot play videos in Views even with the default template.

I only see media player...

Is there any news on the "custom template ability in views" ?

I just downloaded the latest RC version today and am still encountering this issue with the 2 presets not working in my view. I love the module, I'd just really like to get it off the default preset.

The issue is that the templates that you are using currently do not have views support. You can get around this, however, by creating two presets. One preset to hold the media player in the template of your choice, and the other preset to contain just the playlist from the view. You can then connect them together on the same page as if they were a single media player.

I'll give it a shot, my apologies if you cleared that up above and I just missed it. Thank you for the work, it is great!

This problem seems not to be fixed(release from 13. September 2013). Views with playlist only work with default template. This makes it extremly difficult to create an own template, because copying the default template to custom module does not work. Actually I'm just trying to solve #1947354: creating a next video button to get a next- and prev-button to my controller. Any help would be great.

Edited the issue summary to highlight the overall issue.
