Cannot play video

Hi, I cannot play any video on my site using tubepress. http://danielmau.com...-video-gallery/ The videos won't play when I clicked on them. When I use playerLocation="popup", the address is about:Blank and there is nothing on the page. I am using the latest version of Wordpress and Tubepress 2.2.5. I have tried to disable all the plugins and use the twentyten theme but I still couldn't play the video. I have tried reinstalling and it's still not working. I have looked at the error console and there doesn't seems to be any JS errors. Please help. Thanks!

Thank you for helping to test the latest version! I am very interested in fixing your gallery, but the page wouldn't load after trying for quite a while. Is the site still up? Let me know and I'll be very eager to help. Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the quick reply! I just checked it and the site is still up. Thanks!

I finally was able to load your site - definitely some sort of network problem on my end. Sorry for the delay.

Anyway, you've spotted a bug! I left some development code in a file. Would you be willing/able to help me test the fix? You'll just need to replace the contents of tubepress/sys/scripts/ajax/playerHtml.php with this file: https://gist.github.com/1013860. That should take care of the issue. If you can confirm the fix then I'll release a second release candidate.

Thanks again! Couldn't do this without brave souls like yourself ;)

Glad I can help. :) I've uploaded the new file, and the problem is still there. I've install a fresh copy of wordpress on another part of the site and tried it again, but the video is still not playing. http://danielmau.com/?page_id=5

Looks like there might have been a problem when copying in the new file. The error message I'm seeing (with Firebug) is

syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/52/7875052/html/wp-content/plugins/tubepress/sys/scripts/ajax/playerHtml.php on line 1

Could you verify and/or post the contents of /home/content/52/7875052/html/wp-content/plugins/tubepress/sys/scripts/ajax/playerHtml.php here to make sure that it's OK? Thanks!

I have uploaded the file again and it seems to work now. I have made some changes with my hosting account so maybe some problems occured while I upload my file before. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you! I've published RC2 here: http://tubepress.goo.../t..._5_RC2.zip, which includes just this change. Expect a final release next week.

Hi Eric,

I have just make some changes to the site and now I am experiencing the same error. Well, almost the same. I couldn't play the video and when I looked at it in the web console, I found the status is HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found when I clicked on the video. I have tried to upload the the RC2 and playerHtml.php several times and it's not working. This is the new site: http://danielmau.com/video/. Thanks!

Looks like another bug! Try replacing your playerHtml.php with this one: https://gist.github.com/1036716. That should fix it. Let us know!

Hi Eric,

I have just uploaded the file and it is not working. Just to make sure I haven't upload the wrong file, this is the file that I uploaded:

Just posted a new release candidate that fixes this bug (among a bunch of other bugs found during testing). viewtopic.php?f=6&t=575

Let me know how that works for you. Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I've just uploaded the new RC and it's still not working. When I click on the thumbnail, nothing happens. The error I get from Firebug is

b[k] is undefined
http://danielmau.com/wp-content/plugins/tubepress/sys/ui/static/js/tubepress.js?ver=3.1.3
Line 1

Thanks!

Strange. I've been testing this version heavily and haven't seen that one yet. Here's what we can do to debug - in sys/ui/static/js you should have two files:

• tubepress.js (which is the one actively loaded)
• tubepress-dev.js

The second file (tubepress-dev.js) is simply an uncompressed version of the first. If you swap the files, we should be able to use Firebug to debug and pinpoint the error. How's that sound?

Hi Eric,

I've just swapped the file and this is the error:

galleries[galleryId] is undefined
http://danielmau.com/wp-content/plugins/tubepress/sys/ui/static/js/tubepress.js?ver=3.1.3
Line 148

I'm still trying to figure out how I missed this bug during my testing. But here's what you can do to get working again. Replace your existing sys/classes/org/tubepress/impl/plugin/filters/gallerytemplate/EmbeddedPlayerName.class.php with this one: https://gist.github.com/1047145

Couldn't have done this without you! Let me know how this fix works for you. Thanks again.

Hi Eric,

I've just replaced the file and it's now returning a page with a black background and an undefined title. Thanks!

I finally realized why I wasn't seen the bugs you were seeing. I'm embarrassed to say that I was testing the wrong copy of the code! Ugh.

Anyway here's a fresh copy that does indeed work. http://www.sendspace.com/file/xbmopr

Stand by for a final release shortly!

Hi Eric,

It happens. I've done that sometimes too! Thanks, it works nicely!
