How can you do this Mario...no upgrade for old users?
when I purchased this script the terms and conditions read that you will never be charged for upgrades and the upgrades are for life time. Logically it must be the new users who should not be given advantage at such low cost, we guys were waiting for more than a year for some particular updates which you have provided now and at last, we are unable to enjoy these features and upgrades.

Can't import old database for new script

[neospider69]

does transcoding works for you guys on v5?

[neospider69]

ok, the issue is php, my php is at /usr/local/bin/php, worked ok with v4, ffmpeg works, but when i upload, it does not transcode, but still creates the thumb.

Any ideia @Mario?

[Marius P.]

Hi guys! It's still work in progress.
I've applied two patches last night to:

- sqlupdater.php (mismatched prefix for conversation messages table)
- tpl/main/images-loop.php (sharing links where blank)

Code Select Expand

I haven't announced it just because it's in beta and not all elements are final, or checked.

Upgrading should be simple:

- Redownload (best way)

Keep:
- /media
- /uploads
- vibe_config.php (easiest way to keep is to delete the one in the new v5 pack before uploading)

At the bottom of vibe_config.php add

Code Select Expand

/* Choose between mysqli (improved) (Note: beta wrapper in PHPVibe) and mysql */
 define( 'cacheEngine', 'mysqli' );

To switch it to mysql improved.
Else it will keep using mysql as database engine.


Upload and fire up sqlupgrade.php to get the new database upgrades in place.
Else, the files have been changed.

Make sure you chmod /moderator/alog.txt to 0777 or your writeable number.

Check ffmpeg logs at the admin menu (near the bottom).
Make sure /moderator/alog.txt is writeable.

[neospider69]

Hi Mario, the txt file is writable, but its blank, no info written

[Marius P.]

Does your shell_exec fire?

[Marius P.]

Btw, did you add anything in the qualities under Settings -> FFMPEG Conversion ?

[neospider69]

change quality to 480 only

[Marius P.]

change quality to 480 only

See the conversion command down for 480, what is it? Cause vf scaling doesn't work for 480, try the old static one (botton of the page has a default for the v4).

[neospider69]

i believe you're having the same issue at videoinedit?

Seems so

I've changed settings and looking to see what's up.


One thing to remember is this in videocron.php:

Code Select Expand

if($call <= ($size + 100)) {

What this does is compare $size (the video height) + 100 (margin) with the $call which is the height setup in admin (or reached at  that time in the loop).
If it doesn't fits, it will skip the video, avoiding scaling up the video.

[neospider69]

Hope that is an easy fix.

anything that i can help just give me a shout

[Marius P.]

Thank you!
But simple try to edit your conversion command in the admin for that quality. One will work for you.

[neospider69]

the same convertion setting is working in v4, i do find it quite weird that its the command it self

[Marius P.]

Does cache clean?

Do a print_r($to); under it's definition in videocron.php and load it in the browser.
Also, see if ffmpeg is fired in server processes.

Hi
Mario, are you guys sure that old users won't get the upgrade, i am talking about the promise phpvibe team had/made when i first purchased the phpvibe, it read "lifetime upgrades"...now what?

I know i can't/mustn't argue with you, but think for a moment....what about the upgrades we were waiting for from last one year or more, either you should have first provided the upgrades or you should have released the phpvibe v5.0 as a new theme for everyone...and not letting user from 2015-2016 enjoy the upgrade at such a low price, i know your team is low on budget, but strategies like this won't let you grow, think of something else.
I am not even thinking that you will change your mind, but in future you must let everyone know about any sensitive issue.

And finally just tell me , is there any chance of old users getting the upgrade, after some time or anything like that?

[Marius P.]

Hi! ASDF the rules have changed since 2-3 years ago, the only lifetime is "availability for license", means we won't clear your keys no matter what.
I'm not sure why 30 euro is such a big deal, if you have somebody make a messaging system for you they would charge you 100+ for something less.
And that's not the only change.

Theoretically and by the T.O.S. we should have had clients after 18th of april 2015 upgrade free, but we've extended to those from 1 january 2015.

As for low budget, I assume this is the last major upgrade for PHPVibe, since 2015 the interest in video scripts have went down massively, sales volume is down by 78%.
I took more than a month to code this myself because there was no way to hire help, you can understand by this that budget is a big issue, one that for now at least puts under the question if there will ever be a v6 version of PHPVibe (or if it will be built by us, project sale is a discussed option at the company ).

With this in mind, I wanted to release it free for everybody, I truly did, no matter what the T.O.S. said, but I am afraid I got kicked in the face by the reality the moment Cristina showed me the sales volume for this month.

I'm sorry, but as much as I love PHPVibe, it still has to support itself by sales. Adding this tax was really necessarily.

Hi, there is no difference between user and admin when maintenance is on all get same message.
Make sure your fullcache is delete.
I assume this is a v4 issue and should not be here, since v5 has no fullcache.

[Marius P.]

I think I've got it, on some videos the result of the sizing is different. So it returns 0 on the height, causing the algo to skip the video on size compare.

[ASDF]

I know how budget has affected the vibe team, a lot of placements to replacements, i remember the words Alexander said "Mario will no longer be part of phpvibe  " and now, as of my knowledge , right now Alexander is out, may be because of budget. I know, no one will even think of developing or coding phpvibe for free, unlike you. I remember your words too "phpvibe is like my child, i will never leave it", but today after reading that phpvibe's development is in danger, i am bit disappointed for you and worried for every member of this community.
30 euro isn't a big deal, but i was worried that if team can do this kind of thing for once, why not again, and we can't pay again for every upgrade or update.
That's it, i hope you have got my point too.
Also, before closing dev for the theme, let us know about it, i believe those who are earning from the theme can pay for the growth of theme and for the growth themselves.
At last, now i have understood, why some communities have tickets and supports for as high as $5 per ticket or problem.

[Marius P.]

For now I really really don't want to close this, and I never will. If the ship sinks, the product won't sink with it. PHPVibe will continue, most probably as open source (like Wordpress), and if I ever have to take this decision, I will let you guys know in time. For now, indeed, there is danger, but there is also hope.
There are many clients with huge income from PHPVibe website and mature businesses which will come to play once they will be informed. But for now, I hope the best with v5.

[Marius P.]

Ok, so I think I've got this fully figured out.

Re-download and replace :

Code Select Expand

lib/functions.php

(added an extra set of regex for durations with different style)

Code Select Expand

videocron.php

(had a typo)

A lot of the panel setting have changed; which also altered how a lot of the features are displayed. I either need a tutorial or require directions on how to manage the block system with my older pre-setup blocks. To which I can't find.

The top of the homepage 'Playlist alike Slider' seems to be broken. Seems the Login portion of the site seems to not be working for everyone. Especially the login from Google; which it says something about a missing API issue.

Granted a lot of features seems to be added, but it seems a lot of the functionality in the panel seems to be gone. Preventing one from modifying old content properly.

A couple of new vid tutorials might be needed in order to sort this out. While a few of the bugs in regards to the transition to the newer model might require a bit of a look over.

One of the key features lost. Was the ability to have Channels that also showed the directory of the previous channel above the selected channels. Same time. While also on the right side bar. When visiting a channel. The right sidebar does not display any of the other channels in a list form. That which makes it a lot harder for users to find the content you are trying to mainly feature on the site.

Granted the new appeal of the site is wonderful, but a lot of the features are missing or broken be it site or panel. While past paid for plugins for the site. Do not seem to be compatible with this new upgrade. While other features seem to be lost. That helped to control the content for past content; which would be difficult to re-do for those which have hundreds of video content. With specific setup Playlist and channels.

Any support in regards to this would be appreciated.

Also, Mario kudos to you for actually taking this on. Hopefully you and Jodacame team up for future projects. Being you are both very good developers.

[Marius P.]

Hi! The plugins will be updated. It's normal they need a new version. But for now we are focusing on the issues in the beta, this isn't a final release, just a beta.
Then we will release new versions of the plugins to work with v5.

As for Categories, can you please show me (printscreen?) what you are talking about, I don't quite get it. The channels in the right sidebar work just like the old ones (the same algorithm), also the logins (I haven't even gotten to that yet). Maybe you should check the keys in settings -> login?

[Marius P.]

Conversion seems to work fine now http://www.videoinedit.com/taylor-swift-new-romantics/12228/ (Dubles the 720 because the mp4 is 720 and it gets copied once), you can remove this in videocron.php
