I like the plugin, but I have a question. I’ve tried my best to follow the installation for Wordpress 2.x, and I get the worded link for playing, but I don’t get the “box” with a preview of the video in it? The file I’m trying to “embed” is a .wmv file, and when I click on the text link, a box pops up and plays the video. I’m wondering why the box/preview of the video isn’t showing up.
Any ideas?
Bryan.

You specified the image as:
http://www.velocoworld.com/images/discovery.wmv
in:
<img src=”http://www.velocoworld.com/images/discovery.wmv” />
which is the movie rather than a image file. Change that to a jpg, gif, png or other image file and it should come up.

Hi there,
I had the same problem. I changed the image code to .jpg, but I still get an “X”. I only uploaded the .MPG file. Is it supposed to read the image right from the movie file?
Thanks,
Jose

Looking on your site, http://www.jalmirall.com/ , it shows a reference to the img src=
http://www.jalmirall.com/images/bendancing.img
which doesn’t come up in the browser. A image file that is accessible through http needs to be given. This is a standard HTML img tag, not particular to vPIP.

Excellent plugin. Wish I can make it play within the site and not the pop-up. It doesn’t matter too much. Good nevertheless. 8]
Thanks.

Hello,
I love the plugin also. However, I’ve found that it doesn’t play well with Internet Explorer 6. Works like a charm in IE7 as well as Firefox.
Do any of you know a workaround that allows it to work properly in IE6? As much as I hated IE6, most of my users are still on it, unfortunately, so I had to deactivate the plugin.
You tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

The plugin works great on our site, thanks!
How do I get it so the form on the Write page appears below WP’s Upload form? We publish many more pictures than videos and vPIP’s real estate requires awkward scrolling on small screens for image drag’n'drop.

Man, I really loved this plugin, especially the thickbox feature. Very professional looking. However, I noticed that when I have the thickbox feature enabled, my lightbox plugin doesn’t work anymore. I use this lightbox plugin:
http://www.m3nt0r.de/blog/lightbox-wordpress-plugin/
Since I have more pictures posted than videos that I want to open in a lightbox, I’ve had to quit using vPIP and use another windows media embedding plugin that I really don’t like nearly as much as vPIP. My question is, does anybody know a work around so that my lightbox plugin and vPIP will work nicely together? Or maybe a different lightbox plugin that does work with vPIP? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The most recent version of vPIP (1.00c) should work with Lightbox. I tried this plugin, http://www.m3nt0r.de/blog/lightbox-wordpress-plugin/, and it worked with vPIP on my test. What proglem are you having? Is there a page that you have up demonstrating this problem?

Thanks for the quick reply Enric, I appreciate it. Basically all I have to do is activate the vPIP plugin and my lightbox quits working. If I click on an image in a post such as here:
http://www.houseofboyd.com/blog/2006/12/house-of-boyd/hello-world/
the image opens in a new page (window). If I deactivate the vPIP plugin, refresh the page, then click on the image, it opens in the lightbox.
It’s got me confused and I’ve downloaded the latest release of both plugins to test. Any help would be appreciated…thanks again for the quit response.

John Boyd:
Yes, it looks like vPIP confuses this plugin. You’ll need to manually input the javascript links for this lightbox plugin. I got it working on my test page:
http://vpip.org/test-pages/vpip-test-page/
Here’s the links to put in before the </head> section:
<!– Lightbox Plugin –>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://[url to wordpress folder]/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/lightbox2.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://[url to wordpress folder]/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/js/prototype.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://[url to wordpress folder]/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/js/effects.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://[url to wordpress folder]/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/lightboxjs.php?path=http://[url to wordpress folder]/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/”></script>
Replace [url to wordpress folder]with the url to your wordpress folder.

Enric, you’re the best. Works like a charm. Thank you so much for your help in getting this resolved, not many people would do that. I’m going to add a link to your page and I promise to make a donation as soon as I get back to work..thanks so much again!

You can see it work here!

I got the plugin to work ok in wordpress, but when I click “Close” the original image does not return.
Any suggestions on how to correct that?

Hello: I’ve had some problems with the installation, and i want to uninstall the plug in. How can I make sure that i don’t have any code somewhere in my theme, or elsewhere?
Many thanks

where to download the the most recent version of vPIP (1.00c)- I only found the 0.8 version.
on March 18th, 2007 at 9:44 am
denis:
It’s probably a bit confusing, but the vPIP plugin version is 0.8 and the vPIP javascript version is 1.00c. The javascript file is vpip.js (usually in ..wp-content/plugins/vPIP/vpip.js), so that’s where the version number should be checked. The most recent version is here on vpip.org.

Hey Enric - Great plugin. I’m wondering though, is there any way to customize the auto-generated html? I need to add a couple extra divs and css classes to have a link list beside the thumsbnails. Thanks.

Not sure what I did wrong, seems to play embedded just fine under Firefox, but under IE it launches the mov file in its own window? Here is the code used:
Click on Image to Play
(Click and Drag to Navigate)

hi eric,
I have a question about the plugin, I figured out that when I activate the plugin, my open/close sliding script from king widgets is not working anymore. do you already know about this or do you have any ideas how to solve this.
thanks in advance…

Try turning off the ThickBox feature. In admin mode on your wordpress blog, go to “Options”-”vPIP Config” and uncheck “Enable ThickBox?”.

Now I cannot use the nice ThickBox feature, but it is working.
I like it.
thanks and nice weekend.

Hi! I’m seeing something weird with vPIP and WordPress 2.1.3.
I’m specifying thumbnail images for my movies, and when I click on the thumbnail the movie plays as expected (both in place and in thickbox), however when the movie it closed, the thumbnail completely dissappears from the post. Poof. Gone. Only comes back with a browser refresh.
At first I thought maybe this was being caused by my outdated WordPress theme, but I found the problem happens even with the latest default wordpress theme. I thought maybe it was caused by a conflict with other plugins, but the problem was there even when I disabled all the other plugins.
(And “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” is unchecked in WordPress admin too.)
Anyone know what could be going on? Have any others seen this? (I’m on a Mac using Firefox 2.0 and Camino 1.0.3)
If I used the same vPIP code outside of WordPress (in a straight html file) the problem goes away.
Thanks in advance!

Will this plug-in work for MP3 files?
Thanks
on May 30th, 2007 at 8:27 am
j.murali:
Yes, vPIP will work with audio files. For MP3, you would normally use Quicktime in vPIP (though Windows Media may also work.)

Hey Eric,
Really like the plugin after seeing it in action on No Fat clips. I initially installed it on my WP 2.2 blog and it seemed to work like a dream. But it doesn’t seem to be working for site visitors using IE (6 I think, I’m on a Mac). They reported that when they click on the picture instead of playing in place it downloads to their computer? I’ve had to de-activate the plugin but was hoping you might be able to give me some pointers on how to fix the problem as I’d like to continue using vpip.
Cheers

Try the pre-release of the next version of vPIP announced with d/l link on the vPIP blog:
http://blog.vpip.org/?p=4
The problem with IE6 should be fixed on that version.
