You can now also put two video galleries on the same page if you want to.
Barnes & Noble Uses Crunchies Endorsement On In Store Nook Posters. We Want One.
We were somewhat sad when Barnes & Noble sent their PR firm to accept their award for the Nook for Best Gadget of 2009 at the Crunchies in January. Traditionally only Apple blows off the awards, and we\'ve always been able to work around that.
But apparently Barnes & Noble are at least aware that they won the award. They are using it to promote the Nook on in-store posters, we learned recently. We sent TechCruncher Laura Boychenko over to the local Barnes & Noble last night with strict instructions to rip one of the posters off the wall and run like hell back to the office with it.
She failed in her task, but did take a few pictures and a video and promised to ask Barnes & Noble for one of the posters for our office. Less dramatic, but just as effective I guess.

Does this work with 2.8.4?
October 7th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Yes, I was able to get it running on 2.8.4.

I activated the plugin and put in my vodpod username and everything and put in the [Insert Video Gallery] in the “Videos” page, and I get these errors:
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/61161/domains/seattlemetrowrestling.com/html/wp-content/plugins/vodpod-video-gallery/vodpod_gallery.php on line 196

Sarah,
The problem is that you do not have allow_url_open enabled.
This can often be fixed by creating a file in your public_html folder (or whatever your root directory is) called php.ini and adding the line:
allow_url_fopen = On
Let me know if that works.

Sarah,
Download the newest version of the plugin. I’ve changed it so it no longer uses fopen. So hopefully this will fix your problem.

can I use this with self hosted videos?
December 21st, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Carlos, the plugin only works with vodpod. So if you can get your videos into a vodpod account, then you can use this plugin. I think vodpod only needs embed code to recognize a video.

Hey Xondie,
Did you figure out the “blink” on loading? (earlier ?) It seems your examples don’t flash an empty screen any longer… would love know the fix.
thanks,
Derek

Hi Derek – No, I haven’t had a chance to look into that.

Hi Xondie,
Awesome plugin! I had it running fine on my site and then I had the db nuked and had to set up the site again. I already went through the allow_url_fopen = On thing once to get the videos to work, but now I am getting the same error and I have the ini file with the correct settings. I didn’t change a thing on my server except I had to reinstall WordPress and rebuild the site. I am using v3.0 of your plugin. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks.

Scott,
There seems to be something very strange happening on your video gallery page. View source and do a search for “$vodpod_user”. For some reason the php code is not getting translated and there is some “urchinTracker” code being inserted in the html.
Not sure if this will fix the problem with file_get_contents but it might be related.

Hi,
Is it working with a youtube account ?
February 5th, 2010 at 1:23 am
Shuyvenaar,
This plugin only works with a Vodpod account. It does not work with a YouTube account. You can use YouTube videos by adding them to your Vodpod video account.

hi, could you tell me if it is possible to run multiple instances of the same collection, just with different tag “subsets”…? if that makes sense.
basically i’m trying to organize videos (from the same collection) by tag into multiple areas on the page.
the problem i’m running into is, for example: instance 2 is loading/playing it’s video’s in the instance 1 player.
is the issue that it is only generating one collection ID per collection name to load the videos into? so if there is a second instance of the same collection with a different “subset” of videos, it is going to load them into the first ID? sorry if i’m confusing you.

Hi Corinjoel,
It sounds like you’ve uncovered a bug, related to a similar bug that I fixed recently. The good news is it’s still fresh in my mind so I should be able to get that fixed for you fairly quickly. If not tomorrow (Thursday 3/11) then this weekend.
Thanks for letting me know!
