I was hoping to add something like youtubes theater mode. Would like take alot of work with the template as well ? I have already downloaded the files I am just trying to figure out how to add them if I can.

Hi

Is the script RTL languages compatible?

Thanks

Nginx and Rewriting

nic — Thu, 02 Jan 2020 14:55:34 +0000

Hi there,

happy new year first of all!
CumulusClips looks very cool but I have to run it with (the unsupported) nginx since the server is running other projects which can't get migrated to Apache2 easily (and parallel usage is a bit messy I think).

A friendly man called Fuzzy wrote this manual:
http://cumulusclips.org/forums/discussion/1679/how-to-use-cumulusclips-with-nginx

But I fail at configuring the URL rewrite rules in nginx.
I placed all the CC stuff into a subfolder called "video", the main page is accessible but every link caused 404.

At the beginning of the CumulusClips install script there are mentioned these rules for Apache:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

According to Fuzzy, it's
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args =404;
which causes the rewriting but it doesn't work in my case, even when I make a seperation location with alias for "video".

Does anybody has a clue why this happens, or can someone tell me which is the actual scheme behing "index.php?" which CC does expect so I can write a similay rule for nginx?
I - for example - tried "/video/index.php?login" and "/video/index.php?q=login" but these seem to be wrong.

Thank you in advance,

Nico

There is another script that has more features then this but I really want to this script get an update. So I was thinking that maybe I would like to add some features to this script that's why I am asking.

Why is this not being updated

InfernoPrime — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 01:50:34 +0000

I liked this script why has it not been updated in 2 years.

ETaffairs.com - Your portal here on earth!

thedude — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 20:55:00 +0000

Hello Damian and All! After enjoying Cumulusclips for modvid.com. I decided it was time to update my other youtube clone https://ETaffairs.com. I've been compiling a collection of ufology video for more than a decade. Admittedly, the majority of the videos there are more than 7 years old. However, many of them are pretty unique and are not easy to locate today on youtube. Recently I have began updating the content with newer videos and making preparations for a new promotion for the site. I hope that you can find some time to have a look with us!

Thanks again Damian. I really appreciate your CumulusClips video sharing platform. If the day comes that i can actually develop revenue from these ventures, i will certainly try to reciprocate support back your way. The old version of the site is currently still running on http://www.extraterrestrialaffairs.com/ and was set up with phpmotion. I had trouble utilizing SSL with that version of the site and much like modvid.com, it was very heavily membership exploited from china. Your format is a joy to use comparatively. There is no comparison tbh.

I'm not a fan of google adsense, or google in general despite the necessity of their services. If anyone has another ad revenue system that doesn't require selling my soul, i would appreciate it if could recommend. Thanks for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Darcy Klyne

Modvid.com - The Energetictube.

thedude — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 11:49:14 +0000

Hello Damian and Cumulusclips members. https://modvid.com - The Energetictube.

Thank you for this great video sharing platform. modvid.com has been previously hosted on a shared server with vidiscript and was registration hacked about a year ago. I've since moved to a private server, i've implemented the captcha registration and SSL and of course switched over to Cumulusclips. I love the bulk import functionality. Everything works.

I found the installation and configuration of the site to be very straight forward and these forums were great for finding solutions without ever having to post here and have to ask.
My troubleshooting was as follows:
- the site seemed to function so i assumed the php directory was correct, however when i went to upload a video it would lock up at status: Processing video. When i went to enable log debugging or attempt to save a config in the admin>settings>video panel the site would lock up. Solved by enabling debugging logs in the database with phpmyadmin, realizing that there was no processing of video uploads taking place, then seeing the php directory needed /local/ added to it for my server setup. Once the php directory was corrected, the uploading and encoding worked flawlessly.
- Now i wanted to add hundreds of video files from my old host, SSH connected server to server as root and ftp'd a large directory of fla vides into the uploads/import directory. When i would see an error in the log about ftp permissions or credentials (can't remember the specific wording). This was corrected by using chown to switch ownership of the video files to the website hostname account since they were transfered over as root, they were owned by root and the host account could not control them to start the encoding. Once switched i was thrilled that the import feature worked flawlessly for more than a couple hundred videos.
I have to say i was really happy to be bulk processing for nearly a full day without an error in the logs. I literally couldn't believe was working that well.
Thanks so much Damian and all involved with sharing this script open source. Its a joy to work with and i'm planning on adapting etaffiars.com over to cumulusclips as well.
Sincerely,
Darcy Klyne

Does CumulusClips Still Work? Is this Forums Still Active?

PaulWxford — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 02:16:55 +0000

Does CumulusClips Still Work? Is this Forums Still Active?

I am just checking because my hosting service InterServe still offers it and it looks nice but I was having some issues getting it to work?

If it does and the forums still is then I will search here for some answers to the issues I am having.

If not then I wanted to know before I waste anymore time.

Can anyone recommend a good youtube clone or similar for personal use?

Thank you.

Error Uploading A file

tuneman — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 14:38:57 +0000

Errors were encountered during the processing of your file, and it cannot be uploaded at this time. We apologize for this inconvenience.

So when i try to upload a file of any "SIZE" (500mb) i get the attached error. After reviewing my php.ini and everything else nothing has changed from the default.

i can upload the file via FTP and it processes fine. I can upload Smaller files via browse upload option without any problem.

I DID just run updates on the server itself. Looking for some kind of ideas on this one.... .

Custom interface for uploading video

ChuckS — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 17:11:22 +0000

Hello, I've been using CumulusClips for awhile and would like to allow users to upload videos from a custom application that I'm building. Has anyone here ever built their own front-end UI for this? Our users will be internal employees who are already signed on with the same information that they will use to login to CumulusClips. Ideally, I'd like to present them with the upload form without having to require them to login again, but am unsure where to start.

Any suggestions or help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Remove email verification?

Amazon S3

zoxee — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 04:19:15 +0000

Hello Team!

You mentioned the necessary steps in an earlier post to integrate S3:

1) Update /cc-core/system/encode.php to use the AWS PHP SDK to upload your new video files to AWS S3.
1 a) Upload the final H.264 MP4 to your bucket
1 b) Upload the final mobile MP4 to your bucket
1 c) Upload the thumbnail to your bucket
2) Update /cc-core/system/bootstrap.php so the H.264, mobile, and thumb URLs are pointing to your S3 buckets.
3) Update the /cc-core/services/VideoService.php so that the files are deleted from AWS S3 when the delete request is made.

Aside of modifying the paths, the tricky side would be to adjust the upload and delete phases.
As it is your script, you are the best positioned to do the job correctly.

Could you give me a quote, i'd like to have it done. It's urgent and shouldn't take you that long.

Thanks!
Dan

Improvements

suzi — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 19:48:19 +0000

As we are using the Cumulus script on a few sites, we made and are making a few improvements.
- MP4 videos can be online without processing, to minimize server load.
- New template based on the "Newsroom", but will all Members' features
- Global setting to allow or not the "extra settings" for videos
- Various members' categories, with specific rights (video size, extra-settings, attachments, mailbox etc), all can be setup in the global settings by the admin, or at the Member level (by the admin). This allows to have paid Members for example, as we have on one of our website).
- Sub-categories for videos

If you are interested, we share the hacks, code is easy to check to be sure there is not bug

If you have ideas to improve the script, drop us a line, I think - and hope! - that the Cumulus team will not see any problem here.

First-timer Error

Hi All.
I just installed installed CumulusClips on my site5 server through cpanel autoinstaller.
Seemed to install correctly, and didn't make any changes in setup, but tried to upload a smallish example video, but got an error. Here is my error file if anyone has any ideas what I can do to fix this! Thanks in advance!!

Random video (Newsroom template)

denismk — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 07:20:45 +0000

Hello, how can we display a random video instead of the last one, in the homepage of the Newsroom template?
Writing the function to get a random (list) video isn't a problem. After that the easiest should be to replace the last video by the random one, but where should we do it?
Seems there are a few phtml files to change and so far our tries do not work...
If anybody could help?!

Great Software - Difficult To Install

perthweb — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 04:08:13 +0000

Hi,

Your demo looks great

Unfortunately, installing the software is simply too difficult.

I have followed every suggestion in these forum with no joy.

Firstly, when the installer starts... there is no way of giving it FTP details. However, chown the directory and all files to nobody:nobody does allow the installer to request FTP details. Even then it won't install. Although I give the exact path to the base installation, it advises it cannot write to the settings file.

May I suggest you use a simplified installation process. For example... ClipBucket was straight forward to install and takes care of all it's requirements without interference.

I wish I could have installed CumulusClips and put it to use on my private site, unfortunately it is too time-consuming to install.

Regards,
John

How to update video.js?

STC — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 21:34:02 +0000

Does CumulusClips use video.js? If so I would like to update it but I cannot locate the relevant files (possibly they have changed between versions?).

CumulusClips definitely uses video-js.css which is annotated as part of video-js v4.10.2. This is horribly out of date as video-js is up to 7.5.5 now. I tried swapping in the latest video-js.css but it just broke the player; I would now like to try update everything but I cannot locate video.js. There is a video.plugins.js in the theme\js folder - is this the same file?

(This is part of my efforts to solve an issue with the embed player controls not displaying properly with a 16:9 video.)

Cumulusclips on php7

linuxine — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 13:36:57 +0000

Hi,

I wanted to update my Centos 7 to php 7.2, but since I have a CumulusClips instance (which I find awesome, by the way), I wanted to know if php 7 is now supported by CumulusClips or not ? II would not perform the update if it mean loosing my videos or not being able to add new ones. Thanks a lot !

Embedding 16:9 aspect ratio problem

STC — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 17:40:43 +0000

My 16:9 videos seem to upload and encode correctly and play properly on my CumulusClips site.

However when I embed them, the window gets stretched and misses off the far right side of the video, and also cuts off the volume and fullscreen controls. In order to see the whole video consistently and to get the controls to display I have to force a 4:3 resolution (eg width="480" height="360"); but this results in black bars at the top and bottom.

Is there a way to make the embedding work correcrtly with a 16:9 aspect ratio?

I am currently using:

And I have tested removing the width and height arguments as well as forcing a 16:9 ratio instead.

I have chatted with the guys in the ffmpeg IRC and they say my encoding options are fine so I believe it is an issue with CumulusClips embed function, or my use of it.

Thank you!

[solved] qt-faststart segmentation fault error during upload

STC — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 05:40:19 +0000

Hi! I am trying to get video uploads working, and would greatly appreciate any help.

I am running 64bit Centos 7.6 kvm v78.0.27 with my own install of ffmpeg (including all required codecs), which is located at /usr/bin/ffmpeg, and the Cumulus Clips admin control panel has been updated with that path.

Currently uploads are returning "The final H.264 file was not created. The id of the video is: 5" in converter.log (this is the entirety of the error displayed.)

A larger log generated at the same timestamp ends with "==================================================================
H.264 SHIFT MOOV ATOM
==================================================================

Which seems strange because I would have expected more information after "Output:", but the file ends right there. I have uploaded the entire logfile as an attachment.

Please help! Thank you!

How to configure path for ffmpeg? [solved]

STC — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 21:26:24 +0000

Edit, I'm so sorry, this appears to be answered in the How-To section already. I don't know how I missed it.

...

Hi all! First-timer trying to get set up on a dedicated server here (CENTOS 7.6 kvm).

I'm looking to direct CumulusClips to look for ffmpeg in /usr/bin/ffmpeg instead of the default subdirectory. Can anybody tell me where this would be configured please?

Many thanks!
