3 questions about posting video files

[rklug]

I am running PhotoPost Pro 7.03 and have 3 questions about posting video files:

(1) I have changed the following lines in the pp-inc.php file to scale current gallery thumbs from .5 size to 1.
$imgh = round( $thumbh / $scaleFactor ) * 1;
$imgw = round( $thumbw / $scaleFactor ) * 1;
This affects all current gallery thumbs throughout the website as I hoped it would, but custom thumbnail images I upload for video clips still appear to be about .5 size as gallery thumbs. Is there another bit of code somewhere else I can modify to correct this? So far, I have only uploaded one video clip, so if I need to make the change prior to uploading a custom video thumb, now is the time. I have many more video files to upload.

(2) In an effort to slow people down from downloading video files, I have changed the following line in english.php from
$Globals['pp_lang']['video'] = "This is a video, click on the thumbnail to download";
to
$Globals['pp_lang']['video'] = "";

Is there a more proper way for me to do achieve my goal here?

(3) I've seen some old threads in the forums about displaying video at its actual size, rather than what appears to be 320x240, but no changes to the embed-ms.tmpl file seem to be working for me. (In this case, I am working with WMV files.) Is there somewhere else I need to modify code? If not, are we any closer to being able to set this to autosize, or at the very least, change it to 640x480?

Thanks so much!

Well we do not really assist with code modifications as a feature of product support. You would need to modify anything you wish.

For instance your avatars you can this but I can not offer support for it

maybe it could be this

Content visible to verified customers only.

You would need to edit the correct multimedia embed template codes which are hard coded to specific sizes as thats how most embed's work. You can try changing the 320 x 240 to 640 x 480 in the embed template.

Thanks for the help, Chuck. Your suggestion for the multimedia category thumbs worked perfectly. That you always seem willing to take the time to offer thoughtful recommendations, even for the occasional unsupported code-mod, just reminds me again why my forum/website solution will always depend on what works with PhotoPost. As always, I really appreciate your help.

Thanks Again,
Ryan
