voopress

Why is there no edit option? I wanted to tone this message down a little. I’m simply frustrated after spending way too much time trying to find a solution to this problem and not being able to use my own ffmpeg tools.

I guess no one knows the answer to this.
One solution if I can’t get any answer would be to manually create the sub-domain in the dns record so that the catch all doesn’t get it. Then have that particular name sent to a virtualhost which in turn does have my php snippet redirecting.

But, it would be so much easier if I could simply do this on WP ??

That’s the problem with me??? ROFL, this is the first time we’ve ever communicated, give me a break.

As to your support comment, if you mean insulting and getting into arguments with potential customers, that’s not exactly great support.

The price is fine, that’s not the issue. The issue is that I felt there should be a way for me to use my own, already installed tools. Simple as that.

BTW, you’re just grasping because BPM-FFMPEG is exactly what I don’t need since I already maintain my own tools for other sites on these servers. As I said, I already have a full range of conversion and compression tools which of course includes FFMPEG.
And, that brings me right back to the original question and your reply.

It’s far from a stupid question asking how I can use my own tools. I guess there’s an opportunity for a competing plugin however, the price of your tool is fine, the real problem is that it doesn’t cover all that many formats sadly.

You’re obviously just a person who enjoys thinking he’s all that.
What ever, it’s not like you have to respond to me you know. And your suggesting that I not buy something is silly because I may well buy it.

And no, I don’t clearly know what my answer is yet, everything seems to have limitations when it comes to WP and true social aspects other than sharing etc.

I may be on the right track with some of this but WP is all new to me, I’m learning it as I go so things aren’t clear just yet and there are a lot of dead ends when you are trying to figure out something like this. Just like the countless other projects I’ve learned.

We’ve been a Joomla house for many years, and have found WP to be an interesting alternative, minus all of it’s media issues compared to real social environments such as Joomla for example.

And that’s ok, everything has it’s differences, it’s functions and it’s intended purposes but I need to make media work so am trying to learn about it.
It would certainly make the learning a lot better if people like you didn’t act up like you are but hey, that’s open source ??

I’ve been online since the freaking early 90’s, you’re not educating anyone in this thread friend.

And no, it’s not that I don’t like it. If it’s a good product, I have no problems buying and paying for it and in fact, prefer paying for features I depend on because if the authors are making money, at least I know the product won’t be abandoned.

You completely missed my point but what ever, you obviously seem to enjoy arguing so I won’t bother asking anything else.

Sure, that’s an option.
Maybe you should say that in your promotional copy so people know what they are walking into before building their site.

This is not the spirit of open source and not everyone is a programmer.
I’ll be looking for something to replace BP-Media then.

I’m getting a little tired of pushing BuddyPress anyhow, forums posts too often go unanswered and it’s hard to find resolve to problems.

Thanks again.

All of my servers have ffmpeg and full compression and converting tools installed on them. Isn’t there some way I can use those and not have to buy additional software I already maintain?

There should be an option for those who already know how to maintain their own tools don’t you think?

Hi, thank you for the reply. For some reason, I never get email updates when a thread reply is made so never know about them.

I ended up removing the plugin at this point and have been working without it. I would not mind putting it back on some time in the future if you think you’ll be adding BP support.

Thanks.

Hi again,

I see the new functions, wonderful!
However, when uploading a video clip, there is a default image shown as the preview image instead of one captured from the video itself.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thank you very much.

I don’t mind the error, it’s not affecting anything. I felt I should ask because I like to clean up errors as much as possible and not let them add up.

It’s nice to see that you are maintaining this. Being able to use snippets helps to solve lots of small problems and eliminates the need for additional plugins.

About the only problem I’ve found is no matter what code I’ve tried, I simply cannot change the admin bar logo. I have to use a plugin called “Custom Admin Bar” to achieve that.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve posted asking questions about some errors I am seeing. I very much like using snippets to accomplish various things but need to be sure I am fixing any errors which show up.

One of the moderators went and closed a question I asked because I posted one of the logs in two different messages so here is the link if you could look and give me some input, that would be wonderful.

Grr, silly moderator closed my other post because I posted the same error snippet. These are two different problems. One is my wanting to use code snippets to change the admin bar, the other is asking why these errors are showing up.

Figured I’d post the same error here just in case they were related but now esmi has limited my getting help on this. Frustrating.
