Copy and paste this plug-in in mod directory and rock it.
Small guide for end users
Just need to copy and paste the complete URL of the youtube, vimeo and veoh video page. It will capture all related data.
Server specific requirement
For off server videos mode:
CURL must be compiled with php. System will not allow you to enable plug-in if CURL is not compiled with php.
For on server videos mode
FFMPEG must be compiled with the required sent of codecs. CURL is optional but it is better to have this compiled. In the coming days, We have more features in our road map.
Note: We tested this module for 3GP, MP4, AVI and FLV format. Testing with other codecs will be continue. I would be appreciated if you share your experiences here with these codecs and other codecs you may try.FFMPEG Specifications
We compiled FFMPEG version SVN-r17630 as below.

“A true expert in their field. iZAP was prompt in communication and providing service. They went out of their way to make sure this was done quickly and correctly. Even took it upon themselves to contact and work with our system administrator to get the proper gems installed for the Ruby on Rails application. I look forward to working with this provider in the future and highly recommend them!”

Very often some students make the efforts to look for just some data referring to buy term paper. Therefore, we will propose to use the help of essay writing service. At the same time, it is ok to use some stuff from this post issue.

Hi, I have a server setup like this ->
Mencoder 1.0rc1 (support for jpeg, gif, png, freetype, h264, lame, xvid, mad, win32codecs, dv, 3gp, mp4, theora)
Mplayer 1.0rc1
FFmpeg (from SVN) (support for jpeg, gif, png, freetype, h264, lame, xvid, mad, win32codecs, dv, 3gp, mp4, theora flvtool2 or yamdi (yamdi))
Do you think this setup will work with your plugin? or if I need to change somethings, what do i need to change?
Also am using elgg 1.6.1, are there any known issues or problems for working with this plugin?
Thanks in advance.

I think I am close! The only thing I cannot get to go, is libgsm. I am on Centos 5.2 x64, and I've look everywhere to find the rpm for libgsm.
Here is my current settings (So far I have no been successful with this mod, I am hoping that libgsm is the only missing piece!)
Any help finding how to load up libgsm would be very apprecaited!

Well if you have linux based os. than you will have to download source code and compile that on your server. It will be better to take help from any server administrator if you are not very much clear about the compilation process. We are using FFMPEG SVN revision 17630 on our server.
Click here to download svn or git version of FFMPEG.

Great plugin!Is there anywhere where I can find some documentation on how to show custom videos on my home page?Thanks!
admin on 10 Mar 2009 02:43 PM #
Hi Vladeta,
Thanks to appreciate our work. Well right now, We are not considering to make it available on custom home pages. We will consider this feature in the next release. We have planned to release some fixes and such small features as you requested by this week.

Thank you for this plugin!I have Elgg 1.1 and when I install the plugin I get : izap_videos est un plugin non configuré which means izap_videos is a misconfigured plugin.Do you know if it's due to my Elgg version, if yes would another version of your plugin work bette? Many thanks,David Loyer
