Indexhibit Support

Hello,
I would like to upload a video to my indexhibit site.
I can't make it...so I thought someone might know...
What is the correct format of the video, max size and so on?
Anyone can help?
Thank you,
Chora

The maximum size is most possibly defined by your host.
There's a variety of formats that you can export your movie in prior to uploading (mov, avi, flv etc).
Also make sure your movie is exported as a streaming movie...

Thank you,
I'll have a look :) and let you know if it worked!

I checked what is streaming movie and it says it is html...something?
can't i just upload it from Indexhibit? I am a bit useless with html coding and this website is supposed to be shared with other people who are not familiar with html coding ...
Thank you :)

not entirely - a movie is exported as streaming. It's an option in the export settings of your software.

yes I did this in quicktime... but I don't know what to do with this?
I have a folder called Animation with several things in it, do you mean this?

Sorry I'm not sure I'm following you - I thought you wanted to upload the movie.
Upload the movie as if its an image or any other media.
Click the up arrow under Upload/Import, add the file and click upload.

is there a tutorial for uploading video?

I'm using Visual Index with overlay
I've tried to upload an flv and indexhibit says it's an unsupported file format.
I've also tried uploading as a .mov with a file size of 2.5mb's. this will upload, but will not play.
when advancing through my slideshow, once you get to the video it stalls the slideshow.

has anyone figured out a successful way of uploading video files larger than the pitiful size of 2mb's?

I know that there is an embed feature for vimeo and youtube clips, but what if you don't want to do it that way?

How are you using Indexhibit 2 if your account hasn't requested or purchased it?

sorry i'm signed in under the wrong user.

I think I'm logged in with the correct user now.

Thanks for doing that. ;)

Can you show me the page that is failing?

alysonshotz.com/work/

right now i have two videos on the page.
one is a youtube embed and the other is an mp4 upload

I've seen this before, unfortunately. It is a bug. In a situation like this, just some fyi for you, use Firebug and inspect the output of the 'console'. This is what is being returned:

1. <b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to a member function add_lib_js() on a non-object in <b>/home/alysonshotz/alysonshotz.com/ndxzsite/plugin/plugin.formats.php</b> on line <b>144</b>

I'm looking into that file at the moment...I have newer code so I need to track down the old stuff.

It's strange that it's not working - it's been working for me and others. Try adding this to line 144 of /ndxzsite/plugin/plugin.formats.php (which will put the currrent line 144 to line 145. And see how it works...

1. $OBJ->lib_class('page');

that fixed it, but i had edited code to remove the + from the captions.
all the other image captions are fine except this video caption.
do you know where i would track down that one?

That's another bug, I believe it wasn't added to the video part of /ndxzsite/plugin/jxs.ndxzbox.php.

1. found it!
2. Thanks Vaska! :)
3. i edited line 93 - 97 to show this
4. $d = ($this->rs['media_title'] != '') ? "<div id='dialog-title'>" . $this->rs['media_title'] . "</div>n" : "";
5.             if ($this->rs['media_title'] != '') $d .= "
6. " . $this->rs['media_caption'] . "n";
7.             $d .= "</div></div>n";
8.             
9.             $this->description = "<div style='padding: 400px 0 0 27px; width: 300px'>" . $d . "</div>";

the padding was my personal customization.
for those of you looking to remove the toggle function, try this out.

thanks again Vaska!
