[Plugin: Cool Video Gallery] Suggestions for new enhancements

Unless you are somehow adding to the conversation, please don’t just post links to other threads like that. It doesn’t add value.

Since you’ve properly tagged this thread, people visiting your plugin page will see it and pop in and make requests if they want to.

Hi Jan Dembowski,

I was just cleaning up my Plugin Forum so that users wouldn’t have to wander around to check if their earlier suggestions in their posts were taken into consideration or not. Do I get the option to delete any thread in my Plugin Forum?

Thanks,
Praveen Rajan

I’m pretty sure that you can not delete threads or even close them, but that’s a guess on my part.

You can marked them resolved and you can leave a reply referring them to this thread. But just making new posts hew with links pointing to them… that doesn’t clean up threads tagged with your plugin.

News Updates:

– Removing Shadowbox feature for popup video play and adding FancyBox for the same. Thus Improving UI.
– Enabling video playback using HTML5 support.

I would like an option to autoclose the video player window after the clip reaches the end.

Updates:

– Added Option to link Youtube videos. A gallery can have uploaded as well as Youtube videos.
– Changed Gallery Details design layout.

Updates:

– Autoclose feature for single video after completion of video playback.
– Plays next track in gallery mode automatically if Auto play is enabled.
– Fixed issue of positioning video in post/page content.

I’d like to publish the same videos in different galleries, thank you

@bdario

Could you please make it more clear.

Thanks,

Hi Praveen,

Nice plugin! I’m waiting for the HTML5 support. Since you are asking for other enhancement suggestions, following is my wish list:

– Albums
– Images support
– Metadata

Albums: I would like to have in the same page several ‘Albums’ (thumbnails) and each one will link to a video gallery (similarly implemented than the ‘Lazyest Gallery plugin’).

Images support: There are several image gallery plugins available and a few video gallery plugins. But no plugin can manage well both media types and furthermore no one can manage albums with those two media types.

Metadata: I would like to display automatically some metadata informations with the thumbnail and title like ‘size of the file’ and ‘duration of the video’.

Thanks,

JP

Metadata!!!

1. I would like to have a widget which allows users to search all video files. Also a way to tag all videos to make the search better.

2. In the showcase display could you also add a search box above all files?

This would really be great! I am using WP-filebase for all my pdf files because it is easy to search and it would be great to search videos as well!

Perhaps you could allow for jpg preview thumbnail images. Not sure why its limited to png but when you optimize a MOV for web it automatically give you a jpg you can use. In the past, I just changed the file name to png (eventhough it was jpg) and it would work just fine. But recently, I went to do the same thing and the thumbnail would not render properly (gives me a gray/pink scale thing.) Even if I convert to png proper it was still not working right. I was able to create png thumbnails to my desired sized and load them in with FTP but it means a few more layers of work to getting a vid up. Would be nice to be able to use the plugin thumbnail generator, including jpg.

For whatever its worth.
Cheers.

Hiya! I found this plugin today and after play with it a bit, I’M IMPRESSED. But of course, this is the suggestions thread so I must have an idea. So here it is:

Do you think you’d be able to add an option in that would either allow a user to hide a playlist while the video plays on the regular screen (fullscreen I noticed it disappears) or an option to have it play like the ‘playlist’ shortcode without the playlist. I tried putting playlist height at 0 and instead of no playlist, it filled the whole player blocking the video! (lawl)

Also, am I not looking hard enough or is there no reference to the shortcode in the plugin. I was trying to put it on a page and couldn’t figure it out until I saw the screenshot on the plugin page. Just asking.

Thanks for reading!

Is it possible to allow larger size videos to be uploaded? I have videos of 12MB that I would like to upload and I still can’t get the youtube feature to work so was hoping to be able to upload them like normal videos.

@ Rainakthx

File upload size depends on your PHP settings.

An alternative is to upload it through media library(same issue will be encountered here I guess) and then attach it to your video gallery.

If there are any issues related with Youtube, please open up a new thread. I will be looking into that.

Thanks,
Praveen Rajan
