Hi Amir,
Welcome to BuddyDev.

I appreciate your feedback.

I am sorry but I do not think we will be able to do an email availability checker. It will put the privacy of users at risk.

The users are identifiable by their email and by creating an email availability checker, we are making it easier to reveal their email. I think, We will better avoid it.

If you want, you can implement it by cloning code from the username availability checker and using email_exists() for checking the email.

Hi Vivek,
I am sorry I missed it earlier.

1. Yes, It is possible to limit to new posts by using activity action but you will not be able to filter(Unless the plugin adds their own type).

By default the type is ‘new_blog_post’.

Please consult with geodir plugin team and see if they are adding their own specific activity type, If yes, you can use them.

2. Limiting to certain user ids. Please use the ‘role’ parameter for this. Currently, we do not have the option to exclude.

Hi,
Is there any chance you modified the ffmpeg command in the plugin? We are not specifying any dimension, and the conversion happens server side not the client side, so it does not make sense.

If a video is of higher resolution, I do not see any reason why it will be scaled to 480×360(Did you try opening the video directly and check its resolution in the browser). The video size may be restricted by our player(we are applying size on the player via css).

Also, from your previous reply:- You mentioned that if you upload same video from desktop or mobile, they get converted with different resolution. Well, that is not feasible. The server does not care from where the video came. Please recheck it.

Also, there is a way to maintain the same quality if you want to. Using the -sameq flag.

Hi Tony,

1. We do not check the quality of video and currently let the defaults work. I believe, It can be checked using ffprobe
https://superuser.com/questions/841235/how-do-i-use-ffmpeg-to-get-the-video-resolution

We do not have this currently.

The code to run FFMPEG for video conversions are on line 57 – 61.
You can most probably append

 -s {$width}x{$height}"

e.g

-s 1080x1920

But, It will error out for videos of lower resolution.

Also, we are not FFMPEG experts currently. Our goal with the plugin is to provide people a way to make videos playable over web and that’s all. There are limitations when we are calling the executable via php. We do hope to overcome limitation of this implementation by offering a microservice for conversion of videos in future.

We assume that people needing more sophisticated implementation will go for custom development. This is a bare minimal implementation.

Please feel free to look into FFMPEG docs and modify the plugin as you please
