FlashVideo version 1.8! Now with YouTube and Google Video Support!

I am just letting everyone know about all the great new improvements that are being made the the FlashVideo module. I just release FlashVideo version 1.8, now with YouTube and Google Video Support. I also made many other bug fixes.

An example of the FlashVideo module adding a video from YouTube!

One major change that you need to note is that I made a change to two function calls. Those changes are as follows.

Changed the flashvideo_get_video_object routine function flashvideo_get_video_object($node, $index, $params) { } Has been changed too... function flashvideo_get_video($node, $params, $file_only = false) { }

Now in order to specify the index, just add it to the $params array like $params['index'] = 0; I also added a way to just get the URL only for the video by passing the $file_only flag to true.


Changed the flashvideo_get_thumb_object routine function flashvideo_get_thumb_object($node, $index) { } Has been changed too... function flashvideo_get_thumbnail($node, $params, $file_only = false) { }

Now in order to specify the index, just add it to the $params array like $params['index'] = 0; I also added a way to just get the URL only for the thumbnail by passing the $file_only flag to true.

Along with that major change, the following has been either added or fixed in version 1.8.

  • Added YouTube and Google support with the new id parameter! Read the help (at Administer >> Help >> FlashVideo) for more information!
  • Moved the Theme function to another file to keep away from module clutter.
  • Major rework of the video display system. Now much more efficient and less memory.
  • Now the tags parameters work properly, and you don't have to specify "all" for the node and fids parameters.
  • Fixed the thumbails not working with the node and fids parameters.
  • Now the ffmpeg_data database table will log the Shell output from FFMPEG. (great for debugging).
  • Fixed many issues with the playlist feature. Should be working now.

Please give me your feedback and let me know what you think!
