Cool Video Gallery problem

Hi Jowry,

The video player screen width and height is set from Video Player Settings menu and it works fine. The aspect ratio is set in the same page in Video Display option. The default is none.

If you still can’t get it working in front end it may be some CSS conflict from your other styles. I could cross check it if you could give your website link.

Inorder to show multiple videos use the gallery shortcode in your template. If you need multiple videos from different galleries to be shown then you must use shortcode for a single video repeatedly. See installation section for help.

Thanks,
Praveen

Good morning: I installed the plugin and 4 videos, but when they display on my site the text of the descriptions doesn’t go under video. it goes allw ay across page and as a result videos are stacked. any way to fix this?

Hi,

That might be some CSS issues. Try editing the CSS for video display. If you could give me your website link I could take a look at it.

Thanks,
Praveen

Praveen:
thanks for looking at this. I am probably doing something wrong.
In any event, here is the post:

do you have a link to a page where the videos are posted correctly that I can view?
thanks again

Hi Lee,

In the plugin file cool-video-gallery/lib/core.php find the function videoCreateGallery and add the CSS width. For example replace

$out .= '<div style="float:left;margin-right:10px;"><div class="video-gallery-thumbnail-box" style="padding:0px;" id="vide-file-'.$index.'">';

with

$out .= '<div style="float:left;margin-right:10px;width:120px;"><div class="video-gallery-thumbnail-box" style="padding:0px;" id="vide-file-'.$index.'">';

Thanks,
Praveen

I think I found that plugin file but this is what it says

xEditing cool-video-gallery/lib/core.php (inactive)

could that be the problem, that it is ‘inactive’?

I’m not sure about the issue you are mentioning. You could edit the plugin file using the editor in admin panel. Or use FTP access to edit the plugin file and make the required changes.

Thanks,

Hi Praveen –

I don’t know what happened here. Lee jumped in on my post and I still don’t have an answer! Here’s what’s going on at this point. The Video Player Settings do not work – the spinners are locked, and, while I can type in values, there is no change in the Gallery when I play the Flash file. The funny thing is, I can play any still format in the Gallery, and it immediately goes to the original file size – only Flash is being cropped. When I preview the file in the WordPress Gallery Details, the window pops up fine, and plays the video at the correct 640×360.

Here’s a hint I’ve been trying to track down – the player that runs says “JW Player” in the bottom of the video screen. Could this be what needs to be adjusted? I can’t find any reference to it in your info or in WordPress info. Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Jowry,

The video player used by this plugin is JW Player.

What type of file are you mentioning here? Flash file meaning ‘flv’ or ‘swf’?

I could cross check it if you could give your website link.

Thanks,
