What’s really bizarre is, I have installed this plugin and examined user capabilities in both the plugin menu and directly in the DB looking at the capability entry string.

The free user that can’t currently post, has the EXACT same capabilities as those free users who CAN post.

There are no differences, and yet this one user account that can’t post seems to be able to write a reply and submit it, the slug in the URL adapts as it should and increases the post number in the slug by one, but it then doesn’t show the post, and it doesn’t appear front or backend.

SO BIZARRE!

If I change their ‘Forum Role’ in the drop down at the bottom of their edit profile dashboard screen, then they CAN post normally.

I shouldn’t have to do this though.

Anyone have any kind of clue what else it could be?

Nice one Marcus, that’s nice to know.

I haven’t upgraded on my production site, just on my staging site.

I’m going to leave ita few days and see what happens with any revisions.

The new dynamic system seems crazy really.

Hopefully they will sort out BBPress at the core.

Will check that plugin out now though, thanks!

Hahaha, actually guys I THINK I might know what caused this and it’s pretty innocent.

I noticed the member had left a Capital letter off their name when they first registered so I went into the backend to change it in their profile.

It was at the time the upgrade was going through. It does look from the logs above that the S2 level WAS upgraded, BUT I bet when I saved the name change, it actually saved over all of the upgrade details that S2 would have just processed.

If someone could just confirm that the logs above look like they DID actually upgrade this member, i think we can put it down to that as the issue.

PROBLEM solved!

It;s okay guys, I deleted the buckets and distributions and started again.

All works great.

I’ve got one bucket and one pair of keys for each site and all works great :)

UPDATE:

Using .mp3 and .mov with your shortcodes works great!

The only things to tweak would be to only show the player controls for .mp3’s and also allow for videos to be stacked as shortcodes:

[s2videos html5=”true” download=”false” size=”1″ width=”600″ height=”360″ video1=”video.mov”]

[s2videos html5=”true” download=”false” size=”1″ width=”600″ height=”360″ video1=”video.mp4″]

AT the moment, only the top video shows if done like this on the same page.

Making videos viewable to logged out members and simply adding simple S2 conditionals to display them to other levels would also be great.

Great work so far, this should become a core part of the plugin fi Jason doesn’t have something like this already in the works!

Philly, thanks so much for your help!

.mov should be fine with JW Player from what I can see. I use it with flowplayer and it gets served up fine as it’s encoded as h.264

JW Player’s site says:

MP4 ( .mp4, .m4v, .f4v, .mov )

Files in the MP4 container format, containing video encoded with the H.264 codec and audio encoded with the AAC codec. This is today’s format of choice, supporting the best video quality and hardware accelerated playback on a wide range of browsers and devices:

Could you let me know about the mp3 audio option and also about showing videos to non-members that are accessing a paid access link.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

Okay, I have got this to work with video no problem.

Changing the filepath to an mp3 doesn’t seem to work though, and I could also do with playing.mov too.

Is this possible? And is it possible to simply wrap the code in a simple S2Member conditional so that I can say which level it should be visible too?

If we could do that, this is perfect for what I need!

Thanks!

Cheers Eduan, looks great!

I’m just looking at the video tutorials Jason has done too.

So does JW Player and S2 support mp3 streaming too, and does the player adapt, to only show the control bar, rather than a blank video window?

Sorry for all of the questions, this looks very powerful indeed, and far better than my current set-up!

Ross :)
