Description:
URLS
1. Youtube videos are working correctly. However the Vimeo url information is not being save.

Saving Entry
1. Vimeo videos don’t look like they save, but there is data in the database. When you reedit the entry it says add video like nothing is there.

Images
1. Tag: thumbnail_large: No images being displayed
2. Tag: thumbnail_small: works for Vimeo videos but not youtube
3. Tag: thumbnail: works for both Vimeo and youtube however quality is terrible

Here is a page that outputs the information from my entries to give a better perspective.

Thanks Kevin, I’ll look into these this week. Regarding #3, I can’t control thumbnail quality, those are taken directly from YouTube/Vimeo’s servers.

#2

BoldMinded (Brian)

There are multiple thumbnails available, I think the variable names are {thumbnail_1/2/3/4} or something.

You may need to re-select some videos and re-save the entry if the thumbnail sizes aren’t what you expect, but the following vars are now available:

{reel_field:thumbnail}
{reel_field:thumbnail_small}
{reel_field:thumbnail_medium}
{reel_field:thumbnail_large}
{reel_field:thumbnail_max}

Not working yet.. Can i point you in the right direction. the Embed tag works but we need the url to call in a lightbox to show the video. Again only issue is for the Vimeo URL

#10

BoldMinded (Brian)

Did you re-select the video and re-save the entry? I tested it and {field:url} worked for me locally.

I forgot to mention that I’m using publisher with this as well. Not sure if that affects it.,

Can you try and add this video? https://vimeo.com/139262371

Here is my code when add it.

I just checked with Publisher and can confirm it saves the url value correctly. That build definitely fixes the issue. Make sure you clear your cache so the JS files are updated.

Kevin Chatel

I looked into the javascript and noticed in the function on line 319 that it is attempting to loop over a non-existant array, when vimeo sends its response back, with only 1 item, there is no array and the correct data is held directly in the body.

#19

BoldMinded (Brian)

Can you provide an example of what you’re searching for? In my tests it always returns an array, even if there are no results for the term. E.g I searched for “asdfasdfasdfasdfasfsdfagdsfgsdfgsdfg”

I think the issue with one of your videos, e.g. the “CAE Healthcare’s iStan on The Doctors TV Show: How to Apply a Tourniquet” one is that its a really old video and only has 3 thumbnail images, so the script is failing b/c its looking at the wrong array keys for the videos.
