jrVideo

Using Jamroom

Trying to get a better understanding of jrVideo...

1 - When 'convert videos' is unchecked, even if uploaded file is MP4, it does not stream in a player. Instead video just shows as a grey box with a download button on the bottom. (just a side thing; this happens even if 'block video downloads' is checked). Is this the way it should be working? That in order for a video to stream in player, conversion has to be enabled?

2 - Video Size - when converted videos show in player, it is a much smaller size then they generally appear on youtube. Is there any way to make the videos larger? there seems to be a lot of extra room (black space) on both sides of the player.

3 - Distortion in Chrome - converted videos play fine in firefox and explorer but in Chrome their width is distorted making the videos appear thinner and distorting all their frames. Also when 'full screen' is enabled in chrome, videos appear very pixalized, as if a much lower quality version is being served.

4 - Conversion - I understand that when conversion is enabled, it converts the clip into an MP4 and also into a flash version for mobile. Question is; if there is a set bit rate that it is converted to? Is there a difference in the output quality of whether the original video was 720p or 480p?

Thanks

JrCore_list order with multiple facters

Using Jamroom

Originally did not take decimal rating into account so it could have been resolved with a 2nd order factor like 'overall_count' but now realize that even one -5 rating will make an item fall below a fresh one time rated 5 item.

If you guys ever create it, big chance we will buy it

Form Designer Not Showing in 'Modify Album'

Using Jamroom

Want to add a new field called 'album notes' to album pages. I was able to add it to the 'create album' form using form designer. Want to add it to the 'modify album' forms as well so I can go back and add album descriptions to existing albums. However the form designer button is not showing on 'modify album' pages.

Any idea?

Thanks,

JrCore_list order with multiple facters

Using Jamroom

Think I will just use "audio_file_stream_count numerical_desc" for now on 'top lists'.

Since if audio_rating_1_average_count numerical_desc is used, as soon as a song is rated 5 once it would jump to the top, ranking over commonly rated songs that have a 4.99 or lower average.

If audio_rating_1_5 is used; it helps towards the top of the list but in the end a song with an average of 1 that had even one 5 star vote will be above a song with an average of 4 that had not 5 ratings.

Thanks for pointing that out, you are correct, goal would be to order by
1) Average rating
2) Total amount of times rated (not by a specific number)

Did not realize there were decimals. So I guess a song rated 5 one time will outrank a song rated 100 times with an average of 4.95.

Realize that adding 'audio_rating_overall_count numerical_desc' as a second factor will not help much but can in some cases where average is exactly the same.

Can anyone provide an example how to properly place the two order factors (audio_rating_1_average_count numerical_desc and audio_rating_overall_count numerical_desc) into the 3 snips of code listed above.

Thanks

JrCore_list order with multiple facters

Using Jamroom

Trying to list item order using multiple factors. For example by rating and then by total count, so an object that was rated 5 four times will be listed before an object rated 5 only one time.

Using above example understand that I would have to use the following two fields...

First
audio_rating_1_average_count numerical_desc
Then
audio_rating_overall_count numerical_desc

but not sure proper way to add it into the code. Checked https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/89/jrcore-list and tried a number of experiments but could not get it to work. Also tried using... but could not get it to work.

order_by1="audio_rating_overall_average numerical_desc" order_by2="audio_rating_overall_count numerical_desc"


There are also a variations in the code throughout the skin templates where list orders would have to be applied, would be good if knew how to apply it in all cases.

Here are the various code setups where this would apply.

Setup 1 - {$order_by = "audio_rating_1_average_count NUMERICAL_DESC"}

Setup 2 - {jrCore_list module="jrAudio" order_by="audio_rating_overall_average_count numerical_desc" quota_id=$_conf.AzamraNew_artist_quota search1="profile_active = 1" template="index_top_singles_rating_row.tpl" require_image="audio_image" pagebreak="6" page=$_post.p}

Setup 3 - {assign var="order_by" value="audio_rating_1_average_count NUMERICAL_DESC"}

Thanks
