How to resize videos on wall

Does anyone know how to change the width for videos on wall? I see this via firebug......

<embed width="507" height="308" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CQzUsTFqtW0&amp;autoplay=1">

but it doesn't tell me which file to edit. I'm assuming it's in phpMyAdmin. Any advice?

Anyone :(  My question is where the heck is "507".   I just need to change it to 465 and I'll be very happy man. :D  I did search in dolphin folder for that number and it's nothing there. It has to be in phpMyAdmin some where. :/

I imagine it'd be under the video section of the database*. You can probably change the size of the video from there, too.

Thanks Audabal!  In htmlpurifier... interesting..  I'm looking at it and I don't think it's the file i should be in. The question is.. where does it create the number "507".  I don't see it in that file. :/  hmm maybe i overlooked something.

Placing videos on the wall doesn't go anywhere near htmlpurifier.  Rule of thumb: If it isn't posted using TinyMCE, htmlpurifier is not involved.  Check the above file.

yeah this is what i'm talking about :D but I see no wall width and height ready.  don't tell me boonex hasn't made one for wall yet.  :(

(file and browse only)

'file_width' => 'bx_videos_file_width',
'file_height' => 'bx_videos_file_height',
'browse_width' => 'bx_videos_browse_width',
'browse_height' => 'bx_videos_browse_height',

Hmm Boonex should add width and height for wall ready in the video settings anyway. This would be ideal for those who want to have 3 columns on one page.

I doubt if it's hard coded at 507

Learn something new, thanks HL!

Have you tried... Dolphin Admin panel, Modules>Videos>Settings?

Quote · 19 May 2010

The width for video is set in Admin, Modules, Videos, Settings (right top)

If you scroll to to the bottom, you can set the width and height of the video. Changing this setting however, changes the size of the video for all pages (thus not only the wall!)

 

Would be create if this could be set separately

@Houston- Maybe it is hard coded. I searched like crazy and I still can't find it. I seriously think Boonex needs to add width and height in the video settings for the wall.

@Audanal-  Yeah, that's the very first thing I did. :(   Admin panel>Modules>Videos>Settings pulls the same information from BxVideosConfig.php so they're connected. hmmm I don't think there is a way to change it through there.

@denre-  Yeah...There are no settings for videos on the wall. This is what i see.....

Width of video player (in pixels): 600   Videos in the video page only

Height of video player (in pixels): 600  Videos in the video page only

Width of video browse unit (in pixels): 140  Thumbnails in video browse page only

Height of video browse unit (in pixels): 102  Thumbnails in the video browse page only

Height of album slideshow:200   eh.. this is not what I'm looking for

Any ideas?  :(

Well.... congratulations on actually getting a video on your wall in the first place.  That's something I have yet to play around with on my site.  Is it normal for the page to just sit there and do nothing while the video transfers?

Umm I'm not allowing them to upload a video so i can't really remember what it's like while being transferred.  I think it should say "processing" on your wall.

@HL

I had a similar problem but was able to sort it out by changing the "files" directory permissions in "/flash/modules/video/files/" directory from 777 to 755.

Quote · 19 May 2010

My directory permissions are OK.  The files are being processed and stored, and I even have a new album called 'Wall Videos'.  I just don't have any videos on the wall... or even any notices that I added a video.

One thing that I am not certain is normal behavior, is that when supposedly adding a video to the wall, I just get a browser status message, "waiting on mysite,com".  If this is normal, and there is no manner of progress indicator, most users are just going to think the browser or my site is hanging, and navigate away from the page.

Can somebody tell me what the process of adding a video to the wall looks like when everything is working properly?   I have so many other things to work on, I haven't paid much attention to video uploading... I just figured all the bugs were worked out by now.

I had another look at the video size and I can only find 2 places where it is set

1) Flash video player

2) Video Module

 

I also noticed that the size of the frame is increased by 2 (so if you set a hight of 600, the hight is 602 in the template).

 

To get back to the 507 size, I have seen this last week, played around with it (and most likeley changed it since I cannot find 507 in any of my templates). Would it be possible to show a bit more of the html code and not just the embbed code (migth get a better idea where to look for it)

 

Regarding posting to the wall ...

I have tried several things

1) upload a new video to the video section - a thumbnail is shown on the wall

2) Upload a video to the wall. Again, it only shows me a thumbnail and when I click on it, I go to the video section. There is no option to play the video on the wall it self. I also do not see an option to embedd a youtube video on the wall?

 

When you upload the video, underneath it you see the form where you can enter the video details (this was not very clear and I only noticed it second time round)

 

1 difference might be that I did not upgrade my test site, I did a fresh install of 7.0.1

defined('YOUTUBE_VIDEO_PLAYER",<object width="100%"

Replace 100% to 465px, also look for one more toward end of that line.

I tried that.. it doesn't work for me.  does it work for you?

I looked at his market and it stated "not open-source". LAME!

I'm looking at line 61

define("YOUTUBE_VIDEO_RSS",

maybe add width and height?
