Video Support

Video support has been added in version 1.6.

Files
Due to the size of video files, you will need to upload the video manually via FTP to the location of your choice. All you need is the video file itself, no other files are required.

Settings
There are 3 settings in the config.php file for videos. Each is a default value that will be entered into the form for you automatically when you add a new listing. These values are only
default values and can be changed as you enter the video information. They are designed to speed things up for you if you use the same values a lot.

$videoURL = "http://"; // Default Video URL
$videoWidth = "320"; // Default Video Width
$videoHeight = "240"; // Default Video Height

Formats
A wide variety of video formats are supported including FLV, Quicktime, Real, Windows Media, Etc..

We recommend that you use the FLV format for maximum compatibilty. All it requires is the visitor to have flash installed to view the video and it is stable across
different browsers and operating systems. The other formats require various plugins and have trouble working across different browsers. You can convert your video
files to FLV using a program like Free Video Convertor .

Adding a local Video
To add a local video to a listing you need the following information:

Adding a YouTube Video
To add a YouTube video to a listing you need the following information:

If you do not have the Video ID, you can get it from the youtube url. It is the v= value.

For example, in the url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJC7E06IBXI the ID is: sJC7E06IBXI

Preview
After adding a video you can view it within the admin. You do not have to find the listing on the public end to verify it works.

Notes:
The url is ignored if both the url and youtube id are entered. If you wish to change from a youtube video to a local video be sure to remove the youtube ID.
