Hi Dale,
Thank you

I will be looking at your issue this week and testing with the specific theme .

As far as Transcoder is concerned, MediaPress simply invokes FFMPEG on your server with the uploaded media file and It is FFMPEG which is the real encoder/handling the transcoding. MediaPress simply manages invoking the transcoder, managing the queue(in database) and updating meta details on conversion.

All the FFMPEG jobs are run as background process and if you are on a Linux server, you can run ‘jobs’ from terminal to see any pending jobs. We only run a new FFMPEG process on video upload and we do not keep it running infinitely. It is one off process for each of the media. If it seems to be running continuously, Please approach the server support.

There are many reasons for a slow transcoder/high resource usage, I will leave the transcoder debugging aside as you are no longer using it.

Hi,
instead of current_user_can, Please use the user_can like the following

if( ! user_can($user_id, 'publish_products') ) {
	$is_enabled = false;
}

This will work for displayed user.

Hi Fabien,

1. I am sorry, you can not add links in the placeholder. If you did, It will simply be shown as text.
2. Please contact theme author. They can provide some js. This is very much specific to theme and how they manage/override compatibility with BuddyPress.

Generally, the second approach can be achieved via javascript easily.

Hi,
Thank you for the question.
yes, both of these are doable.

here is some sample code for that.

// disable testimonials component for some users.
add_filter( 'bp_testimonial_enabled_for_user', function( $is_enabled, $user_id ) {

	// process
	return $is_enabled;
}, 10, 2 );
/// limit show can write
add_filter( 'bp_testimonial_user_can_write', function($can) {

	if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return $can;
	}
	// in case you want to find the user for whom testimonial is being written
	// it is displayed user.
	// $displayed_user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	// check for current user
	if( current_user_can('read') ) {
	// update $can to true/false/
	}

	return $can;
});

Hope you can adapt it for your purpose. Please let me know if you want me to put an example with roles?

Hi Herimanana,
Welcome to the BuddyDev support forums.

I don’t see any proper way to do it.

You may randomize but then you will need to track that the same activities should not be shown repeatedly on load more. Also, if the randomness is enabled, you may want to maintain the freshness of the stream somehow. This is doable but we don’t have enough resource or interest in it in currently.
