Hello/Hi/Greetings,
I'm trying to get piwigo to play a videofile (.mov). To do that, I have installed the jplayer plugin and added this to my local/config/config.inc.php:
// file_ext : file extensions (case sensitive) authorized
$conf['file_ext'] = array('jpg','JPG','jpeg','JPEG','png','PNG','gif','GIF','mpg','zip','avi','mp3','ogg','mov','MOV');
When I synchronise, the file is found, and in the album view it is displayed as a questionmark on a white background. When I click the file, I get a player view but below the player it says: "Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin." Now I've tried this in two different computers, in FFox and Chrome and get the same message in both.
What am I doing wrong??
Piwigo version: 2.7.3
PHP version:
MySQL version:
Piwigo URL: http://
jplayer uses HTML5 video player, which CAN'T read proprietary formats like MOV, WMV, etc.
convert your videos to MP4

Thanks for your reply.
I have now converted a file to .mp4, tested it on my pc (and it works), uploaded it, synced it and I no longer get the error msg beneath the player. However, nothing happens when I click the play button.
I also tried the videojs plugin, and get the msg "The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported".
Should I convert it to another format and see if it changes anything? If yes, what would be preferrable?
Hello,
Go on the photo-edit page of your video and select the VideoJS tab.
Check you can see all video metadata.
If not you can run it from command line.
How did you convert you file to MP4? It need to be in H.264.
Some H.264 profile will require flash some other not, it depend on the OS and the browser.
Which OS/browser do you use to play the video?
There is few thing to check in order to ensure the video play correctly.
