problem with video thumbnails

3 February 2010 at 5:22am
hello
first of all i would like to thank you for your great and timely help in solving my issues with ffmpeg,now video is running fine in my site but i have few problems in that
in my video.ss file when ever i am using
$Video
then it is showing the videobut i am not been able to use the other function like
$Player(200,200)
or
$VideoPopup(200,200)
or
<% control VideoThumbnail %>$CroppedImage(50,50)<% end_control %>what i want to do is i want to show a thumbnail and it is clicked then video should run or a pop up should open with video.
i have tried the following combination of code
in videoPage.ss
<% control Videos %>
<div class="link">
<div class="description">
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</p>
</div>
<div class="resource">
$Player(200,200)
</div>
</div>
<% end_control %>
this does not gives any error but nothing is shown on the page<% control Videos %>
<div class="link">
<div class="description">
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</p>
</div>
<div class="resource">
$VideoPopup(200,200)
</div>
</div>
<% end_control %>this again shows nothing and no error
<% control Videos %>
<div class="link">
<div class="description">
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</p>
</div>
<div class="resource">
<% control VideoThumbnail %>$CroppedImage(50,50)<% end_control %></div>
</div>
<% end_control %>
this also shows nothing on the pagei have also tried
<% control VideoThumbnail %>$CroppedImage(50,50)<% end_control %>
in VideoPage.ss page but the result was same
but when i have this on my VideoPage.ss page it works fine
<% control Videos %>
<div class="link">
<div class="description">
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</p>
</div>
<div class="resource">
$Video
</div>
</div>
<% end_control %>i have checked in assest folder it is creating thumbnail there.
thank you in advance

This gets confusing because your FLV component and your containing dataobject are both called "Video"..
$Player() and $VideoPopup() are methods of the FLV class, so you need to be within the scope of your FLV object in order to use those.
When you call $Video within the scope of your Video object, SSViewer looks for a property on your Video object called Video. In this case, it finds a related object. It has to handle this somehow, because it's not like $Description or $Name, which are just text fields that are easily rendered. An object needs specific instructions on how to render itself. When SS encounters this, it looks for the forTemplate() method on the object. In the case of an FLV object, you'll see that the forTemplate() method returns $Player() with some default dimensions. Think of this as a shortcut to getting the object rendered quickly and simply.
For some more customized functions, you have to get out of the scope of your Video object and into its Video component.
<% control Video %>
$Player(320,240)
$VideoPopup(100x100,640x480)
<% control VideoThumbnail %>$CroppedImage(50,50)<% end_control %>
<% end_control %> -

I am sorry i am not that technical
i am giving you the code of all my file ,i have got this code from forum onlyVideo.php
<?php
class Video extends DataObject
{
static $db = array (
'Title' => 'Varchar(100)',
'Description' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array (
// Make sure this comes first
'VideoPage' => 'VideoPage',
/**
* This relationship could be as simple as 'Video' => 'File' provided
* FileDataObjectManager::$upgrade_video is true (defaults to true).
* However, if we know the page will only contain videos, we can simplify things by
* using a direct relationship to FLV. This will give us the benefit of not having
* to worry about the allowed_file_types setting.
*
* To make this an audio resource, set the relationship to the MP3 class, e.g.
* 'AudioFile' => 'MP3'. Audio files are also subject to automatic upgrades, however,
* based on FileDataObjectManager::$upgrade_audio. (true by default).
*
*/
'Video' => 'FLV'
);
}
?>VideoPage.php
<?php
/**
* Before getting started, be sure to test your FFMPEG installtion by adding:
* FLV::echo_ffmpeg_test();
* to your _config.php!
*
*/class VideoPage extends Page
{
static $has_many = array (
'Videos' => 'Video'
);
public function getCMSFields()
{
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Videos", new FileDataObjectManager(
$this,
'Videos',
'Video',
'Video',
array('Title' => 'Title', 'Description' => 'Description'),
new FieldSet(
new TextField('Title'),
new TextareaField('Description')
)
));
return $fields;
}
}class VideoPage_Controller extends Page_Controller
{}
?>
VideoPage.ss
<% control Videos %>
<div class="link">
<div class="description">
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</p>
</div>
<div class="resource">
$Video
</div>
</div>
<% end_control %>With the above code video is running fine.

$VideoPopup(100x100,640x480)
<% control VideoThumbnail %>$CroppedImage(50,50)<% end_control %>

Good Morning From Cambodia,
I am having problem with video thumbnails and video popup player as well. I did not see any video thumbnails files within the directory video_thumbnails in asset folder. I see there are records within Files & Images -> asset -> video_thumbnails. For the VideoPopup i saw only blank black popup it looks like the video not loaded. I did check the following as well.
FLV::echo_ffmpeg_test();
FFMPEG is installed on your server and working properly. Code: 1In ffmpeg_log i saw the the following message:
[2011-08-18 02:40:08] ffmpeg
[2011-08-18 02:40:08] 'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.I really appreciated if you could point me the place to fix it. This is charity organisation website waiting to launch this week.

VideoPage.php
----------------------------------------------------
class VideoPage extends Page {static $db = array();
static $has_one = array
(
'VideoFile' => 'FLV'
);
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab(
"Root.Content.Video",
new FileUploadField('VideoFile'));
return $fields;
}
}
class VideoPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {}
--------------------------------------------
VideoPage.SS
--------------------------------------------
<% control VideoFile %>
$Player(200,200)
$VideoPopup(300,200)
<% end_control %>Thanks

That test isn't 100% reliable. It looks very much to me like you do not have FFMPEG installed.
