Porting video module for Drupal 6.x

I don't see a lot of progress on this great module.
It would be really nice to see a 6.0 version soon and when is there a final 5 version?
(I'm still using a beta 5 version on a production site, and it works fine) :-)

Hi!

I'm also using this module, and longing for a D6 port too.

Sarah, there is the flashvideo module that is very similar to this one, and I think it already has a dev version to D6...

Regards,
Carlos.

Is there any upgrading to Drupal 6 in progress?
This is a requirement for me to go to update my site. :-(

as my coding skills are rather weak

I fear that mine is weaker. I would help but don't know how.

decent replacement for the video module

I'm looking for a long term solution. I would like to minimize the number of modules I use as it is always a lot of work to check every modules when going from a Drupal release to the next one. I started with 4.7. Going to 5 was long. Going to 6 is longer. Is Filefield will be a long term module as CCk seems to be? That is the modules I use, 27 with 15 compulsory (sic):

Are you going to make 5 an official release first? Or do you envision that happening at the same time?

@scarer

I used deadwood to get a start on things, but there was still a lot of work to get the patch working that I posted. Please test it and let me know.

I think in the info files the data is not correctly beign written i.e. not changing the moduel to drupal 6 successfully.

I have CVS access if this needs to be committed. I can request access to this project. Other than that, I will try the patch on one of my sites.

Okay. I'm getting errors applying the patch. Which version is it patched against? Do I need to patch from a specific directory, or was it made relative to the drupal root? (-p0) The patch is asking for directories I don't have in my install. (video/includes/Attic/) Sounds like it might be HEAD, which as far as I know was not the latest version of the module.
Thanks,
Jonathan

quite a few of the hunks failed too i noticed when applying the patch file. i looked at them and most if not all of the hunks that are failing are trying to change the .info file.

I added a video_upload table to the database manually with two fields vid and fid. The video_upload module appears to be working with the video module now. I'll have to test the other video modules to see if they work.

I think the video_upload module is missing an install file that installs the appropriate table for the module and then uninstalls it when the module is uninstalled. I'll add the appropriate install file and test it then post a link to the file.

The module won't work whit drupal 6.9

First: it doesn't work with i18n. When a suffix (en, fr, es, ...) is added in the node address that doesn't work (http://www.example.com/fr/node/627). It is OK when I remove the suffix (http://www.example.com/node/627).

Second: Upload gives me N; in "serialized_data" field in video table instead of something like a:1:{s:9:"video_fid";i:7980;} (found in Drupal 5). When changed to a:1:{s:9:"video_fid";i:7980;}, where 7980 if the file id it is OK.

Third: URLvideo : no video displayed when a suffix. When removed: OK.

How I could help more? We are very closed to the usability.

There is still an old bug (for me) that is solved in the joined Durpal5 module. Concerning video resolution, when default width is empty, the default width seems to be put at 0. then no video is displayed. It have to be forced to something for example 400.

In the joined Drupal5 release (I don't know when I got it) the field for default width is:
Default width:
The width which will be used to scale video during playing. This let all videos on the website look the same. NOTE: You can disable video scaling making this field blank.

In the today Drupal5 release and in your last release:
Default width:
The width which will be used to scale video during playing. This let all videos on the website look the same

Using this module you able to upload videos & embed youtube video & google video

It is working for me

I think problem is with your path of FlowPlayer.swf if the locating path is right then it will be working

1.Check the path of FlowPlayer.swf properly located .if not locate using the video settings which will we be there in http://www.example.com/admin

2. Check whether uploding file is less than 2 mb

3. Save the video setting once before you start.

What i did was i just saved my video settings first where i just entered only " FlowPlayer.swf " in Flash settings text box

After that i uploaded FlowPlayer.swf in my project main folder itself where the "site,theme,files" folder will be there

kumarit84,

Here is my patch to your published module. I finally used base_path() instead of url() to avoid a rewrite. I don't know if it the best solution and if it repects the Drupal code policy. That works for me now.

I made the mod only for flv in this patch waiting for confirmation and as it is the only video I use now.

If you edit the patch, you will see I also made a little correction for '#default_value' => variable_get('video_flvplayerloader', $base_url . 'FlowPlayer.swf'), but it is independent of my main issue.

This is just what I was looking for, thanks!

However, as some above posters have mentioned, my 3g2 uploaded video plays fine once the Story is clicked on and the user is viewing the node, but I'd love for the video to also play on the main front page. Perhaps I don't have a setting correct? Thanks!

To clarify.

I am not sure what state HEAD is in. It seems older than 5.x (last change to HEAD was June 2007, while last change for 5.x is March 2008), so we would lose features if we do it against HEAD.

the video seems to play in the node when the setting is set. i added the code suggested in this post to my custom theme http://drupal.org/node/379792 to get rid of the download and play tabs on nodes. it's a quick dirty fix. will have to re-examine the code again to find out why this setting isn't sticking.

The above patch and tar.gz versions did not work as is. Here is a version that does work with D6.

What is the Drupal version you tried to test video module 6.x . I tested with D 6.6 to current stable version, it is working fine for me. Installed correctly and upload google video, youtube and uploaded videos properly, I didn't see any issue out there.

However please check this version.

Currently Video Image doesn't work, I'm looking forward to fix it soon,

Can you get a dev release posted on the project page, so other people can start to tap into your work and move it along?

If you communicate with the maintainers/Drupal.org web admins then you can probably take over maintainership if you are so inclined.

to #49 heshanmw and to #51 kbahey:

just to know... are you working together or is each of the files a different try to port the module to D6?

Thanks for all your efforts !

I'm closing this issue, currently video module released several stable releases for Drupal 6. Hope I have started a good job :) with all you guys help. I'm trying to create the Drupal 7 version and Drupal 6 with CCK + Video thumbs, subscription etc :), Video hooks will be introduced too. Hope all enjoy with this module.
I set up a official video module web site : http://video.heidisoft.com/ every one can join and work with me, to improve documentation etc, since I'm still learning things may have some bugs, issues, missing features etc. So I will appreciate if you all can comment me on this grate module :). You can report issues to issue queue if any issues, bugs, features.

Enjoy with this module :) .
Cheers
