Installation:- If you are upgrading from before version 1.1, please install that version first.
- Upload all the files in the "upload" directory of the attached zip file to your forum root.
- CHMOD the /customVID/thumbs/ directory to full read/write/execute 777 permissions.
- CHMOD the /customVID/sitemap/ directory to full read/write/execute 777 permissions.
- Import the product file called "product-medialibrary.xml" in the Product Manager of vBulletin.
- Set your usergroup permissions and media library settings in your administration control panel.
- OPTIONAL: Enable the "Generate XML Media Sitemap" scheduled task in your administration control panel.
NOTES: Make sure you decide what you wish to use for your thumbnail quality setting. By default, thumbnails are saved at 50% quality. At 50%, thumbnails will only be 2kb in size, but at the expense of quality. At 100%, thumbnails will be about 15kb in size, but will have the highest quality. I recommend setting it to 80%, which would leave thumbnails at 5kb in size with still excellent quality.
Every time you change your thumbnail quality setting, you will need to run the "Rebuild Media Thumbnails" to see any changes.
Upgrading from VDR:- The "video*" tables from your previous installation of VDR need to exist in your database.
- Enable the "media ADMIN import" plugin in the plugin manager of your control panel.
- Run the "Import Media from VDR" process in your update counters menu in maintenance.
- Disable the "media ADMIN import" plugin in the plugin manager of your control panel.
- Run the "Rebuild Media Thumbnails" process in your update counters menu in maintenance.
- You may now uninstall VDR once you confirm everything has been imported as intended.
NOTES: You will mostly likely get at least one error while rebuilding media thumbnails...
When you get an error, click the details link for that media. If the media displays some sort of error such as "This video has been removed" or "This video no longer exist", then that means that media is gone and you'll be unable to generate a thumbnail for that particular media. Use the available options on that media's detail page to DELETE it from your library. Then go back to your browser window which is rebuilding thumbnails and click the "retry from this position" link.
If you got an error for a media, but after clicking the details link you can find no obvious error with the video; then the error could have just been a simple syn/ack failure. Just click the "retry from this position" link and the system will try to rebuild that thumbnail again.
Known Bugs:
There is a conflict with this modification and some of Valter's VSA modifications that will prevent navbar permissions from being handled correctly. I don't know exactly who's fault it is; but I'm pretty sure there are no errors in my code that would be causing this problem. There is a work around for this however.
