[videoblogging] problems with my wordpress blog
I don't suppose there are hundreds of people desperate to interact with my video blog at makevideo.org.uk, but just in case ... I have had some sort of problem with my Wordpress installation which started giving 500 errors. To keep the site working, I have now switched off all the plugins and themes I was using while I look into upgrading and fixing the problem. This has two main effects. The first is that the look of my blog has changed back to the original bland Wordpress blue theme. The second is that I had to turn off the anti-spam plugin - last night I was deluged with spam comments, so I have now switcedh comments to full moderation. I'd still love anyone to leave a comment, but please be aware that they will all be hand-checked by me before appearing in public. I hope normal service will be resumed as soon as I get a few more hours to properly upgrade the installation. Sigh. -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk Yahoo!

[videoblogging] wordpress theme/code help?
I'm pretty decent at php and wordpress themes and what not ... but something is broken on my site and I cannot figure out why. My site just will not receive pingbacks or trackbacks. It seems to send them ok, but it doesn't receive them. I also see no evidence of them in the wp database (so I'm fairly sure its more than them just not being displayed ... they aren't even in the database) Is there anyone who really understands how all that pingback/trackback stuff works inside wordpress who might be able to help me troubleshoot? Thanks in advance, - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com

Using media_mover [1] to do transcoding of uploaded videos, xspf_playlist [2] to build dynamic playlists, and flvmediaplayer [3] to render the player, we can now have a video player which not only plays user uploaded content, but can both recommend content based on a views [4] or play a list of content generated by a view [5]. FLV Media Player [6] will let you take the player and embed it in a page off site if desired.

Re: [videoblogging] wordpress theme/code help?
I have a gut feeling that the problem relates to using pretty permalinks. There are functions in wordpress which attempt to get the post ID from the permalink, and these functions are called when a pingback comes in. On my test blog (with default permalink structure) pingbacks work fine. But at DavidMeade.com where permalinks are in the form of http://www.davidmeade.com/archives/419 the pingbacks aren't working. I'm wondering if wordpress is trying to get the post id in some way that is not compatible with the permalink structure I'm using.

[videoblogging] Re: sanyo xacti e1 LCD Screen issue
Holy crap this sucks. I was VERY much looking forward to buying an E1 this summer. I've never had trouble with my old C6, but I'd just about kill for better sound and low-light performance. Don't think a dead screen after 6 months is worth the trade, though. And a two-month repair wait is totally bananas. To David I'd still recommend an old c6. You can get them pretty cheaply on eBay. If I do spring for an E1 you'd better believe I'll pay extra for in-store coverage, which I don't usually do. This time, though, it seems essential. Damn. What a bummer.

[videoblogging] Re: wordpress theme/code help?
I guess the slow glinding way to find the problem is to keep adding functionality to your test site until it exhibits the same problem. Ive had a brief go at sniffing for relevent bugs that may be due to fancy permalinks/clean url's, but I only found old bugs that shouldnt be relevent anymore: http://www.thunderguy.com/semicolon/2005/07/26/wordpress-pingback-and- trackback/ A lot of people like pretty permalinks, Id be surprised if it were a bug that affects everyone, maybe its a certain combination of stuff?

[videoblogging] Ultracart or other way of subscriber-only vlogging success?
Hi All, In the quest to monetize (a.k.a. pay the rent) I have set up a great wp plugin (EasyPayPal - http://www.voiceoftech.com/swhitley/index.php/? page_id=129) to allow subscribers to pay to see video content. Works great (you can see it here http://sqlserverdvd.com/on-demand/), but it is binary. Either you can't see any content, or you can see all...I want to have access be more granular to permit discrete video purchases. I'm thinking about using ultracart (http://www.ultracart.com/) and may now have to read up on cgi scripting a bit to interact with ultracart's API. Has anyone used ultracart to facilitate secure vlogging or any other way of securing video to subscribers only? Chuck

Have you checked in with your web host's support service or forums? I use Dreamhost, and every once in awhile something happens that seems to be unique to their hosting service. I can't remember any exact example, but I think I recall something with pretty permalinks and the way my server handled mod_rewrite (it was on but not working as expected). I ended up making a custom mod to my .htaccess file to fix it. Another time I found the solution to a host/plugin incompatibility in the forums. Once I had to edit my xmlrpc file to get my site to accept crossposts from Flickr Blip - they stopped working for *no apparant reason* - I had not done an upgrade or anything.

I was VERY much looking forward to buying an E1 this summer. I've never had trouble with my old C6, but I'd just about kill for better sound and low-light performance. Don't think a dead screen after 6 months is worth the trade, though. And a two-month repair wait is totally bananas. yeah...i've used Xacti's since the C4. Its just a nice design...and has always done well for me. i like that it's like a little video camera that takes photosversus a little photo camera that takes video. without knowing being tested, the waterproof E-1 might have a leak in it. i think hats why the screens go out after time. (still records fine though) We just mailed ours to Japan so they could test it. we'll see if they actually fix problems...or ignore them. so far so good.

[videoblogging] Apple TV vs. iPod/iPhone Recommendations?
Aloha mai! Just got a blast from Apple on recommended settings for video podcasts to look good on the Apple TV as well as their portable devices. It got me to thinking what y'all might be using to hit the best sweet spot between Apple's obviously biased recommendations and greatest compatibility or usability out there. For example, I've been posting HD vlog entries at 720x1280, 24fps, 3000kbps, H.264/AAC in my feed, though the blog item itself definitely includes links to dozens of other versions (including the even more proprietary but darn good looking DiVX). Of course, these settings are Apple TV specific, and exclude 5th gen video iPods and iPhones. From the Apple TV e-mail, it looks like 640x360 is what they're recommending for the widescreen aspect for both Apple TV and iPods/iPhones, but... won't that look less clear than the full 720? Or is it possible that with the right settings, 640x360 would look passably good on the widest range of devices. And do these settings create specific headaches for non-Apple users? Or, at this point, can most users play with these MPEG-4 files? The Apple TV e-mail is below! -- Begin forwarded message -- Recommendations to help you create the best possible experience for users: 1. Apple TV viewers are immediately aware of video quality. If you encode your video podcast at 320x240, we strongly encourage you to increase the resolution to 640x480 or 640x360 (depending on the aspect ratio of your source files). When encoded well, video podcasts at this resolution look great on Apple TV and still play on iPhone and video-compatible iPods. To ensure compatibility, we recommend that you encode using QuickTime's Movie to iPod preset or Compressor's Apple Apple Devices H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 640x480 preset. 2. When you perform the final encode on your video, enable fast starting. Most recent versions of QuickTime enable this setting automatically. But it's easy to undo the setting by making changes to the file after the encode. If you do make a change after the encode, be sure to Save As again. 3. Apple TV displays a large version of the podcast art (the file referenced in the itunes:image tag). We recommend that you use a 600x600 square JPG or PNG file. 4. Several new introductory video tutorials have been developed for iTunes, including one for podcasts. If your web site offers how-to information for new podcast users, please consider linking to it.

[videoblogging] Re: Apple TV vs. iPod/iPhone Recommendations?
640x360 is a good compromise resolution, not a bad balance between res, bitrate filesize, and device compatibility. It will be passable to many people on a larger screen via Apple TV, but your 720p version should be noticably better. There are still some users devices that will struggle with h264 in general, but most will be ok with 640xwhatever videos. 1280x720 or higher, some will struggle with cpu use, and such high resolutions are likely a hinderance rather than a help to portable device users. But also bear in mind that the tone of that email suggests Apple is desperate to get people to move beyond 320x240 more, as that low a res starts to look bad on the Apple TV. So they are mostly targetting people to move their res up, not down. Jay that Apple video loks like quicktime, at a guess they have hidden the quicktime plugin controls and used javascript to make nicer looking controls.

Re: [videoblogging] Another Wordpress question
Every time I create a new post on my blog, Wordpress wants to put a date on it. Is it possible to override that feature? I'd like to replace the date with simple text. (I don't care if my posts are still organized by date, I just want to display text in the place that the date normally appears) we may be misunderstanding you. like Charles says, you can just make pages...which are static. Or you can write Posts...and simply hide the date. the Date (along with tags, categories, etc) is used to help the blog know how to order all the new content. you can certainly hide the date on posts. I dont show dates on my blog: http://momentshowing.net jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 Professional: http://ryanishungry.com Personal: http://momentshowing.net Photos: http://flickr.com/photos/jaydedman/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/jaydedman RSS: http://tinyurl.com/yqgdt9
[videoblogging] Videoblog time versus TV Time
I was just looking at videos mad for the first week of Semanal. I found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1sDUBQKDf4 Gia says; I wanted to show the difference between the immediacy of video blogging and the ridiculous Time Black Hole that is 'television'. I recorded a 30 second bit about what I would do on Seesmic(.com) in both a video blogging and a 'tv' style first, i had never really seen the details of what dressing up looked like. second, it is a good example of that intimacy is important is becoming so important to the messages I will accept.
