I have video files [3g2] from my phone that i uploaded, however, I currently only have the option to download the file when i click on it, and there is no thumbnail for it. On my computer this file plays in quicktime, how could I get it to work in my gallery? |

ffmpeg might generate a thumb for you. http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:ffmpeg
if not then add your own custom thumbnail, you will need the thumbnail module: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:thumbnail
You will have to play with the MIME types to get Gallery to play them inline. Site admin; MIME types.
I cant get a example to play with quicktime in a browser so I'll need a example file that can play in a browser.

Thanks for that.
Now I need a example of a HTML page that has a player that will play that/similar file in the html page.

We need to know the code required to play embedded. Perhaps you can research this on the quicktime site and generate a html example?

These videos do the same on my site. I edited ffmepg as directed in http://gallery.menalto.com/node/66915 and now I get thumbnail images for the videos. I also edited the Mime type in Gallery and it is recognized as a movie. However once you click to view the movie it just has a "Download movie" link. If you click on the link it opens a page in gallery and plays the movie in Quicktime. You can check out what happens at http://www.javan.ws/?q=gallery&g2_itemId=1039. This is in the latest svn version of Gallery 2 (Gallery version = 2.3-svn core 1.2.35 r17672).
How can I get it to play on the page after clicking the thunbnail instead of having to click again to get to the movie?

Sorry to answer my own post. After working on this problem for a little over a week it figures that I would find a fix within hours of asking for help. I am going to list the steps I took to get 3g2 videos to play on my site.
1. To get thumbnails follow instructions here: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/66915
2. Under Site Admin - MIME Types add video/3gpp2 with extension 3g2, 3gp
3. Under the Gallery 2 directory edit /modules/core/classes/GalleryMovieItem.class
Add 'video/3gpp2', to function canBeViewedInline() where the other Mime types are located.
Add case 'video/3gpp2': to function render($format, $params) where the other Mime types are located.
This will have all newly posted 3g2 items act like any other video/photo. It will load embedded Quicktime to play the video once the thumbnail is clicked. Can this be added into Gallery by default?
I do have one question that I will probably not figure out since I only had a few images posted. The 3g2 files that where already in the gallery did not pick up the new settings. I had to re-upload my images to get them to work. This was not a problem since I only have about twelve images, but could be bad if someone has a lot of these movies already posted. Is there a way to make Gallery reset the properties so that all the files work right?
