Still no other solution?
I Don't understand what I need to change

Hi, I need help.
I try to mount this nice module but never go.

I forgot to tell that I'm using Gallery integration for Drupal.
So, I made an other test and when I try to insert Youtube-link with Gallery stand-alone all is right.
When I try to insert youtube-link using Gallery inside Drupal I have that "error".

Hi,
I am trying to upload my videos using embVideo. But I am not trying to use youtube or yahoo video. I converted my video to flv and then uploaded it to my server and was pointing to that. Is that not how it is supposed to work. I don;'t want to register in youtube. I am worried they would be public. Please help. I get the following error.

I am having trouble adding google videos, it looks like a thumbnail extraction problem (there are similar posts in this thread, but nothing that clearly defines the solution). I have a half-dozen google videos that I successfully added with this module about 6 months ago, so I just assumed something had changed on Google. I upgraded Gallery2 to version 2.3 and reinstalled the embedvideo (1.1.2) module from scratch (and edited the appropriate .class file). My pre-existing videos still work, I can add youtube videos fine, but I get this error when trying to add a google video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7798956479515403469)

I have a simple answer for you. Just add "www." to the front of your url so you end up embedding "http://www.vimeo.com/1709936". My URL pattern matching is pretty strict with the domain. It doesn't have to be, but I set it up that way. I'll loosen the vimeo pattern to accept versions without the "www.". However, for now, just add that, and you'll be good to go.

Greetings all. I think I'm back online now. I've had some major server issues at home over the past month or so, and between that, work, and family time, it has been hard to look into the embed video issues that have cropped up during this time. I will start to dig into these issues tomorrow, and will keep you posted on what I find related to getting these issues resolved and getting the embedvideo up and running again. Thanks for your patience.

I've fixed the google video thumbnail parsing issue. It's quite common for videos to stop working on import from time to time. If they do, just let me know via this forum. I'll keep a better eye on your requests. As various video websites change their page formats/code, the parser in embed video will need to be updated to continue to strip the video content off those sites successfully. I won't do a new release until tonight though. I want to look into some other issues folks have reported, and check that each video site I support can still be imported with embedvideo. However, for those of you that want to pull the bleeding edge code from me, you always can via GIT. I've setup a git repository you can pull from: http://git.pippins.net/embedvideo/.git/. For those without GIT, well, you'll have to wait for the release.

Hi apippin,
My Embedvideo pugin was working fine in my previous server, Now i've moved to different server, Eversince i'm getting the following error. Could you please tell me might be wrong?
I can import your video now using the new version of embedvideo I just released (1.1.3). The error you are getting occurs when embedvideo tries to make a GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebPage() call. If you can browse to the URL, and get a valid HTML page, then the call to the gallery API method should work as well. That error means the gallery API call failed for some reason. Give it a shot...

Sorry, there is no other solution until this module is rewritten to plug more correctly into the gallery framework instead of using the description field "hack" to embed the video.

Hi People,
When I add an flv from local Webspace, I don't get to see a flash player.
I have made a screenshot, I atached it below.
I also attached the debug output.
Can somebody help me with this.
Thanks.
I see the problem you are having. The embedvideo module tries to use the gallery internal flv player by default. For some reason, that internal player is unable to play your .flv file (that flv player shows up, and you can click the play button, but the video doesn't appear to be working). You can try to use an external FLV player and supply it with your own set of options. There are other flv players out there you can point the embedvideo script to use in case they can play your flv file better than the internal flv player that gallery has. I'm not sure why the gallery flv player is having issues with your video.

The embedvideo module is trying to apply a watermark to the thumbnail when it failed. To do this, it relies on a graphics toolkit to be installed in your gallery that supports the watermark feature. I have GD and ImageMagick installed, and they both seem to work just fine with this. The embedvideo module relies on the "composite" operation of the toolkit to work. The error you are getting is coming from gallery itself. I'm not sure what it means, or what gallery is upset about. You can try another graphics toolkit (increase the toolkit priority of another toolkit under the admin options of gallery to see if it helps or not). You can look through the other gallery forums to see what they have to say about this error, or you can look through the source code in the gallery codebase to see what it was trying to do, and what went wrong. Or (the simple answer) you can simply turn off the watermarking feature in embedvideo. To do that, simply set the watermarkVideos variable to false. And what about dinner... Wouldn't that be nice?

I took a look at your site configuration. You had this variable set "watermarkVideos=true", but you need this set instead "watermarkVideos=false". After making that fix, the toolkit is no longer required to add the video. The only thing you are missing is that "filmstrip" graphic down the side of your thumbnail in your gallery album that indicates it is a video. For some reason, your toolkits don't want to work right to do this. First off, the GD toolkit had the highest priority, and it couldn't do what embedvideo wanted it to do. I made ImageMagick have the highest priority, and I think it gets closer. For some reason, neither gd or imagemagick seem to work in creating the watermark for you. I have "NetPBM" installed on my gallery installation, and use that as the highest priority toolkit. You can try to install this under Windows and see if it works for you. Go to your plugin page, click on configure on the NetPBM plugin. If you can find the files for windows to install, and give it a path to them, and you can click the test settings button. If it works, you can make that your highest priority toolkit, and try the watermark stuff again by removing the "watermarkVideos=false" variable setting and adding the "watermarkVideos=true" variable setting instead. See how that works for you.

This page (when you try to open it up in a web browser) returns this message:
Video not found
So, why is that not working for your video? The embedvideo script relies on the gdata api (url style shown above) to extract information about your video. It does this instead of just parsing the page (since it should be more reliable). However, in your case, the gdata link is not able to find your video data at. Now, since the gdata URL is working fine for a number of other videos I've embedded from youtube, I know that the code is doing the right thing. The only thing I can think of is that youtube is taking some non-zero amount of time before it makes the video data available through the gdata API call (url). If you wait another day or so, and try again, it might work. If not, I wonder if you can contact youtube directly about getting information for your video through the gdata API call (url I show above), and ask them why that isn't working for your video. Let me know what you find.

Well, you're right about it being a problem on YouTube's end as a couple other videos I've uploaded both work fine. I'll wait a day or two and try again. Thanks for the help!

Following up on my issue, the video I uploaded to Youtube on 3/1, which went live on Youtube at that time, started working on the gdata API URL today, 3/4. I was able to embed it into G2 without difficulty today.

Hi!
Apippin, could you please add allowFullScreen (true/false) variable that will enable the fullscreen button on embedded youtube videos?
It should add &fs=1 to the url and <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> tag in the object section and allowfullscreen="true" to the <embed> tag.
Example:
I've noticed, that when you edit the video description after you've added it to the gallery, the "<object" string is changed to "<object" so you should check against that string too.
{if $theme.item.description|truncate:7:"" != "<object" and $theme.item.description|truncate:10:"" != "<object"}
Attached is my hacked photo.tpl from Carbon theme.

I can't embed any video from youtube or any other site.
The status bar is stuck at "adding items" and doesn't move.
Under "General Settings" in admin section, I set "embedded Markup" to "rawHTML".
In "GalleryUtilities.class", line 859 is commented out: "/* $html = $parser->parse($html); */".

The embedvideo module is making a call to an internal gallery method to fetch the webpage data for this URL:
GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebPage. In debug mode, it shows you the url it is using to get the gdata feed for the video. You can try to use your web browser at the time of the error and see if you can browse to get the webpage. For some reason, youtube is unable to provide that data at the time you are embedding the video. A previous post showed that if the video was recently uploaded to youtube, it could take a few days for them to have the gdata feed available.

Read the last update I posted. Your error is occurring on the same line of code. I'm not sure what calls the GalleryApi uses to fetch the webpage, so I don't know if the "fsockopen" being disabled has anything to do with it or not. I can't reproduce the problem on my end with the youtube URL in your example, so I'm not sure what additional help I can provide here.

With all the information you provided in your post, this looks like an easy thing to add. I will work it in for the next release.

As you can see, the URL http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NX5NjhAsRZo/0.jpg is good, since the http return code is 200. I copy this url in the broswer, I can get the image back.
I tried to change the code to skip this check, but I will keep getting more errors. At the end, I believe that gallery didn't generate the image files under the temp folder, then it failed in its core part.
Do you have any idea about the problem? thanks
I did some addition steps and try to find out the reason.
1) Before I add the embed video, I clean the data_dir/tmp folder.
2) After the add items by embed video, I can see there are 2 files generated in that folder:
/apps/gallery2data/tmp # ls -ls
total 4
0 -rw------- 1 wwwrun www 0 Mar 30 17:54 addEfCEwW
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 1400 Mar 30 17:54 addEfCEwW.jpg
3) So the jpg file is copied and saved locally. I can not check the content of addEfCEwW.jpg, since it is remote. I can do it later if you think it is useful.

Apippin, excellent work with this plugin! This plugin saved Gallery for me. I was going to have to do something else because I needed videos in my Gallery, but my host wouldn't allow me to use FFMPEG. Videoembed to the rescue!
I had a similar problem as Carpcatcher and others above with the placement of the video and the stupid video thumbnail next to the embedded video when using the carbon theme. I thought I would contribute and offer this modified photo.tpl from the latest version of the Carbon theme that fixes the placement of the embedded video (puts it where the image would normally be) and removes the video thumbnail as well. It checks to see if the description has the leading <object tag first, so it won't impact normal image galleries. Don't forget to delete your template cache after installing under Admin->Maintenance.
Once again, great work.

Is there a work-around for the volume thing? It seems to be always default 100%, which can't be annoying. But worse, if you change volume slider down to 20%, then push play, it is still at 100% (even though indicated at 20%). If you touch the slider by just a pixel, the volume goes to 20%.

I know it has been a while, so I'm not sure where you are at with this. The embedvideo script does rely on the php fsockopen call being enabled. You can see the call in ItemAddEmbedVideo.inc line 1344. Hopefully, getting that enabled will help this work for you.
The gdata feed is ok. Can someone help me, please? Thanks in advance.
I'm able to embed this video with the module just fine on my server. The call that is failing is the call that the module makes to ensure the URL is a valid path. The call occurs on line 226 in the ItemAddEmbedVideo.inc. The call to the GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebPage is failing for some reason on your server. The URL response is blank (there is nothing after the '-' in the error message). So, I'm not sure why the server is unable to fetch the page.
As you can see, the URL http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NX5NjhAsRZo/0.jpg is good, since the http return code is 200. I copy this url in the broswer, I can get the image back.

Your analysis is correct in that the URL is good. The call to GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebFile on line 1047 in ItemAddEmbedVideo.inc is failing. I don't know enough about the Gallery internals of this method call. You can check their documentation of this method to see if there is some extra debug you can turn on in the call that is being made to it. For some reason, it is unable to copy the file to the server's local storage location. I'm not sure why it is failing. Based on your analysis of the tmp dir location, it appears everything is going well. So, unfortunately, I can't offer any insight here as to what Gallery is complaining about in this case.

Any one is having trouble with Google videos?
I can't play videos from video.google.com ?! any suggestion or fix?
Posts: 1
I have a simple answer for you. Just add "www." to the front of your url so you end up embedding "http://www.vimeo.com/1709936". My URL pattern matching is pretty strict with the domain. It doesn't have to be, but I set it up that way. I'll loosen the vimeo pattern to accept versions without the "www.". However, for now, just add that, and you'll be good to go.

Greetings all. I think I'm back online now. I've had some major server issues at home over the past month or so, and between that, work, and family time, it has been hard to look into the embed video issues that have cropped up during this time. I will start to dig into these issues tomorrow, and will keep you posted on what I find related to getting these issues resolved and getting the embedvideo up and running again. Thanks for your patience.

Welcome back, Alan, and Happy New Year! Looking forward to bigger and better things. Let me know if you need a tester under my environment ( locally XP Pro, IIS 5.1, PHP 5.4, MySQL )

I've fixed the google video thumbnail parsing issue. It's quite common for videos to stop working on import from time to time. If they do, just let me know via this forum. I'll keep a better eye on your requests. As various video websites change their page formats/code, the parser in embed video will need to be updated to continue to strip the video content off those sites successfully. I won't do a new release until tonight though. I want to look into some other issues folks have reported, and check that each video site I support can still be imported with embedvideo. However, for those of you that want to pull the bleeding edge code from me, you always can via GIT. I've setup a git repository you can pull from: http://git.pippins.net/embedvideo/.git/. For those without GIT, well, you'll have to wait for the release.

I've just released a new version of embedvideo, version 1.1.3, and have attached it here.
Here are the release notes for 1.1.3:
- Fixed google video thumbnail parsing algorithm.
- Added code to remove trailing whitespace from urls.

I can import your video now using the new version of embedvideo I just released (1.1.3). The error you are getting occurs when embedvideo tries to make a GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebPage() call. If you can browse to the URL, and get a valid HTML page, then the call to the gallery API method should work as well. That error means the gallery API call failed for some reason. Give it a shot...

Sorry, there is no other solution until this module is rewritten to plug more correctly into the gallery framework instead of using the description field "hack" to embed the video.

I see the problem you are having. The embedvideo module tries to use the gallery internal flv player by default. For some reason, that internal player is unable to play your .flv file (that flv player shows up, and you can click the play button, but the video doesn't appear to be working). You can try to use an external FLV player and supply it with your own set of options. There are other flv players out there you can point the embedvideo script to use in case they can play your flv file better than the internal flv player that gallery has. I'm not sure why the gallery flv player is having issues with your video.

I just installed a fresh copy of Gallery and Embed Video - Setup successful.
Now when I tried to embed any Video link:

The embedvideo module is trying to apply a watermark to the thumbnail when it failed. To do this, it relies on a graphics toolkit to be installed in your gallery that supports the watermark feature. I have GD and ImageMagick installed, and they both seem to work just fine with this. The embedvideo module relies on the "composite" operation of the toolkit to work. The error you are getting is coming from gallery itself. I'm not sure what it means, or what gallery is upset about. You can try another graphics toolkit (increase the toolkit priority of another toolkit under the admin options of gallery to see if it helps or not). You can look through the other gallery forums to see what they have to say about this error, or you can look through the source code in the gallery codebase to see what it was trying to do, and what went wrong. Or (the simple answer) you can simply turn off the watermarking feature in embedvideo. To do that, simply set the watermarkVideos variable to false. And what about dinner... Wouldn't that be nice?

I took a look at your site configuration. You had this variable set "watermarkVideos=true", but you need this set instead "watermarkVideos=false". After making that fix, the toolkit is no longer required to add the video. The only thing you are missing is that "filmstrip" graphic down the side of your thumbnail in your gallery album that indicates it is a video. For some reason, your toolkits don't want to work right to do this. First off, the GD toolkit had the highest priority, and it couldn't do what embedvideo wanted it to do. I made ImageMagick have the highest priority, and I think it gets closer. For some reason, neither gd or imagemagick seem to work in creating the watermark for you. I have "NetPBM" installed on my gallery installation, and use that as the highest priority toolkit. You can try to install this under Windows and see if it works for you. Go to your plugin page, click on configure on the NetPBM plugin. If you can find the files for windows to install, and give it a path to them, and you can click the test settings button. If it works, you can make that your highest priority toolkit, and try the watermark stuff again by removing the "watermarkVideos=false" variable setting and adding the "watermarkVideos=true" variable setting instead. See how that works for you.

can you help me with it?
Qoute: try replacing your photo.tpl file with this one:

And I don't get in trouble with other Photo albums?
Thanks in advance

I having some trouble using this module. Reading this thread it looks like some other folks might have experienced the same thing but I didn't come across any resolutions. I am using 1.1.3 but this error also occurred with 1.1.0. Any help would be appreciated and a debug is attached.

So, the real issue lies in this URL that the embedvideo script believes it can get information from your video at:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/eIgbJ6NZJu8
This page (when you try to open it up in a web browser) returns this message:
Video not found
So, why is that not working for your video? The embedvideo script relies on the gdata api (url style shown above) to extract information about your video. It does this instead of just parsing the page (since it should be more reliable). However, in your case, the gdata link is not able to find your video data at. Now, since the gdata URL is working fine for a number of other videos I've embedded from youtube, I know that the code is doing the right thing. The only thing I can think of is that youtube is taking some non-zero amount of time before it makes the video data available through the gdata API call (url). If you wait another day or so, and try again, it might work. If not, I wonder if you can contact youtube directly about getting information for your video through the gdata API call (url I show above), and ask them why that isn't working for your video. Let me know what you find.

Well, you're right about it being a problem on YouTube's end as a couple other videos I've uploaded both work fine. I'll wait a day or two and try again. Thanks for the help!

Following up on my issue, the video I uploaded to Youtube on 3/1, which went live on Youtube at that time, started working on the gdata API URL today, 3/4. I was able to embed it into G2 without difficulty today.

Hi!
Apippin, could you please add allowFullScreen (true/false) variable that will enable the fullscreen button on embedded youtube videos?
It should add &fs=1 to the url and <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> tag in the object section and allowfullscreen="true" to the <embed> tag.

About the photo.tpl hacking in order to move the description containing the embedded video to the picture location using this method:
I've noticed, that when you edit the video description after you've added it to the gallery, the "<object" string is changed to "<object" so you should check against that string too.
{if $theme.item.description|truncate:7:"" != "<object" and $theme.item.description|truncate:10:"" != "<object"}Attached is my hacked photo.tpl from Carbon theme.

I can't embed any video from youtube or any other site.
The status bar is stuck at "adding items" and doesn't move.
Under "General Settings" in admin section, I set "embedded Markup" to "rawHTML".
In "GalleryUtilities.class", line 859 is commented out: "/* $html = $parser->parse($html); */".
I get this from the event log:
At first I was getting the same error locally, but then it started to work once I changed some of the default setting for the embedvideo. But it does not work on the remote site even after I made the same changes that was made locally. The remote site has the "fsockopen" disabled, could that be the cause of the problem? Can someone help with this please?

The embedvideo module is making a call to an internal gallery method to fetch the webpage data for this URL:
GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebPage. In debug mode, it shows you the url it is using to get the gdata feed for the video. You can try to use your web browser at the time of the error and see if you can browse to get the webpage. For some reason, youtube is unable to provide that data at the time you are embedding the video. A previous post showed that if the video was recently uploaded to youtube, it could take a few days for them to have the gdata feed available.

Read the last update I posted. Your error is occurring on the same line of code. I'm not sure what calls the GalleryApi uses to fetch the webpage, so I don't know if the "fsockopen" being disabled has anything to do with it or not. I can't reproduce the problem on my end with the youtube URL in your example, so I'm not sure what additional help I can provide here.

With all the information you provided in your post, this looks like an easy thing to add. I will work it in for the next release.

As you can see, the URL http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NX5NjhAsRZo/0.jpg is good, since the http return code is 200. I copy this url in the broswer, I can get the image back.
I tried to change the code to skip this check, but I will keep getting more errors. At the end, I believe that gallery didn't generate the image files under the temp folder, then it failed in its core part.
Do you have any idea about the problem? thanks
I did some addition steps and try to find out the reason.
1) Before I add the embed video, I clean the data_dir/tmp folder.
2) After the add items by embed video, I can see there are 2 files generated in that folder:
/apps/gallery2data/tmp # ls -ls
total 4
0 -rw------- 1 wwwrun www 0 Mar 30 17:54 addEfCEwW
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 1400 Mar 30 17:54 addEfCEwW.jpg
3) So the jpg file is copied and saved locally. I can not check the content of addEfCEwW.jpg, since it is remote. I can do it later if you think it is useful.

Apippin, excellent work with this plugin! This plugin saved Gallery for me. I was going to have to do something else because I needed videos in my Gallery, but my host wouldn't allow me to use FFMPEG. Videoembed to the rescue!
I had a similar problem as Carpcatcher and others above with the placement of the video and the stupid video thumbnail next to the embedded video when using the carbon theme. I thought I would contribute and offer this modified photo.tpl from the latest version of the Carbon theme that fixes the placement of the embedded video (puts it where the image would normally be) and removes the video thumbnail as well. It checks to see if the description has the leading <object tag first, so it won't impact normal image galleries. Don't forget to delete your template cache after installing under Admin->Maintenance.
Once again, great work.

Is there a work-around for the volume thing? It seems to be always default 100%, which can't be annoying. But worse, if you change volume slider down to 20%, then push play, it is still at 100% (even though indicated at 20%). If you touch the slider by just a pixel, the volume goes to 20%.
Can I specify the default volume at least?

I know it has been a while, so I'm not sure where you are at with this. The embedvideo script does rely on the php fsockopen call being enabled. You can see the call in ItemAddEmbedVideo.inc line 1344. Hopefully, getting that enabled will help this work for you.
Posts: 190
I'm able to embed this video with the module just fine on my server. The call that is failing is the call that the module makes to ensure the URL is a valid path. The call occurs on line 226 in the ItemAddEmbedVideo.inc. The call to the GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebPage is failing for some reason on your server. The URL response is blank (there is nothing after the '-' in the error message). So, I'm not sure why the server is unable to fetch the page.
Posts: 190
Your analysis is correct in that the URL is good. The call to GalleryCoreApi::fetchWebFile on line 1047 in ItemAddEmbedVideo.inc is failing. I don't know enough about the Gallery internals of this method call. You can check their documentation of this method to see if there is some extra debug you can turn on in the call that is being made to it. For some reason, it is unable to copy the file to the server's local storage location. I'm not sure why it is failing. Based on your analysis of the tmp dir location, it appears everything is going well. So, unfortunately, I can't offer any insight here as to what Gallery is complaining about in this case.
