Aequitas, is it possible to post and play HD videos only?

As of now the answer is no, however I'll dig a little deeper into the Youtube API and try and determine if they have the ability to sort or tear out HD videos only and work something in if its possible.

@Aequitas As much time and energy as you have put into this so far, might it make sense to make it work with WPMU where people are willing to pay a lot more for a plug in? Hell, there are private support forums that run $50 a month for MU. And the video plug in by Automattic isn't really a plug in, it's more like a development framework. Just a thought, really.

Your correct and I'm sure I'll advance it over to WPMU in a little bit but I'm going to have to find another hosting account to properly test it with WPMU.

My current accounts don't allow wildcard subdomain creation so its really hard to test out everything it can do when used under WPMU, I can get the basics of WPMU to run under my accounts but nonetheless I think the main reason why I haven't begun work on a WPMU advancement yet is because I gotta find a proper hosting account to test it under first.
 


I still can't get the plugin's automation feature to work using the built-in automation feature. However, if I manually type in the url to automation.php it works like a champ.

Is there somewhere I can find an error message to find out why its not working?

I'm using HostGator as my host.

This is a tough one since I didn't build in any real debug mode for the end users.

In a situation like this I would double check your CRON settings (If your using a default one via your hosting provider).

However if your using the newest version and your using the built in CRON job you have to remember it will only get fired after someone visits your page.

So lets say you say I want this to fire in 1 hour, then in 2 hours no one has visited your site well if you visit your site then it will fire, you'll have to wait a few moments then refresh the page to see the creared posts though.

I'll do some research on HostGator and try to determine there PHP setup, maybe they have something which is disabled that is effecting it.

I'll do my best to try and resolve the issue your having though.

I'm using the built in cron job in the newest version. I was just refreshing my site last night after the the cron job was supposed to run so that may be my problem. I've setup the cron job to fire at noon every day. I'll check back later this week to see if it has fired.

All is good in the hood, Aequitas. Thanks for the script, its now working properly.

Hey this is easier than a full wpmu install : a ten line plug in that lets you test a plug in for wpmu compatibility. I haven't tried it yet, but for what its worth.
Click to expand...

That's not a good test for WPMU, because mu-plugins isn't what you might think. Basically mu-plugins takes the plugin and has it always activated, so mu administrators never have to worry about making it active or not. ALL files in mu-plugins are automatically included, so if there are any files that are included only to show a menu or output something, it will blow up.

Most WP plugins almost work with WPMU out of the box, but they belong in the usual plugins directory. The most common problem is how to properly whitelist options (and handle nonce fields, if any): hxxp://mu.wordpress*org/forums/topic.php?id=7415

I just checked this plugin and it doesn't seem to use nonce, so only the whitelisting of options is needed. I'm in the middle of two big projects, so I don't have time to fix it right now. But it looks like a great plugin. I'll see if I can get to it later.
 
i'd love to try this software but don't have the coding skills to upload it. if somone can help, I can pay :) pm me
 
i know how to install a plug in. it's the other coding stuff on this post that will take me a while to integrate

Here is a link to version 1.3

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD NEW UPDATE - VERSION 1.3

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

1) Deactivate your current RealVMS installation

2) Remove the old RealVMS folder from your plugin directory

3) Upload the new version 1.3 files to your plugin directory

4) Re-activate the plugin and test

ADDITIONAL INSTALL NOTE

I changed the location of the automate.php file back to the main directory so its no longer in the /includes/ folder so you'll probably have to change up your CRON job again.

I promise that is the very last time that file will be moved, I was doing a bunch of organization so its easier to do future updates with so now everything is fairly organized and there is no need to move that file around anymore.

BUG FIXES AND CHANGES

1) Fixed a bug with the manually add videos section, it was a tag bug for some reason the tags were not being added to the post when using the manual feature but now they will be.

2) Cleaned up the design a little bit and added a little bit more troubleshooting tips

3) Fixed an issue from Version 1.2 in the manual add and automate feature which was when you enter in a term like "Affiliate Marketing" with the category "All" selected it would go into an everlasting loop but that is now fixed.

4) Fixed a bug in the YouTube class which wen't into another everlasting loop should there be less then a certain number of results returned.

5) Under the automation section you'll now see an option which enables you to avoid using a CRON job if you don't want to, this system is built upon the Wordpress CRON system.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

If you use the built in Wordpress CRON system (From the automate section) and you don't get any traffic to your site then the CRON will NOT FIRE.

It fires only when a visitor comes to your site (But tests show it doesn't slow down your website if you keep your automation under 10 posts each time).

Basically it works like this you setup a time for it to fire say 12pm and if a user comes to your site after that time then the posts get added but if there are no users then your posts won't get added until someone visits the site after that timeframe.

If you don't know how to setup your own CRON job provided by your hosting provider I encourage you to use the built in one, but if you wish to continue using the CRON by your hosting provider for more flexability then it won't hurt anything, you can even use the 2 in combination with each other.

Finally I'm in the process of re-writing the documentation on the RealVMS website but to use the automation feature successfully just do the following.

1) Click the automation tab

2) Enter in a search term, and choose the other options from the bottom form and save it (Once saved you should see it in the right hand sidebar)

3) From the top form (Main form) select a time to start the automation at and click the start button, if you wish to stop it after then click the stop button.

Also here is a different quick easy to use plug I did up which goes through all of the tags in your database and fixes any errors they may have, in version 1.0 and 1.1 of RealVMS some of the added tags would result in a URL error but just run this plugin and it'll fix any issues with your tags you may have.

TAG CLEANER DOWNLOAD

ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TAG CLEANER

1) Extract and copy to your plugin directory

2) Activate from your admin panel

3) Under the tools tab you'll see a link called Tag Cleaner, click that

4) Press the "Start Cleanup" button and your all done.

Additionally let me know if you still have issues or see any more bugs.

Yeah, I have an issue ...it seems some clown has a redirect in if you go to download the plugin to some horseshit site with a .ca domain Can some one upload this elsewhere or repost? Also the assclown who has done this should be banned obviously. Same goes for the Tag Cleaner link. Thanks for a new link then! With all the broken images it looks like a lot of 'stuffing' going on this forum. Lame
