Video (vid) suggestions

[marison]

Hi Florian!

I'm sorry about your server! :/ some topics were lost... anyway, the megazine3 is getting better and better.

I started using the video tags to show soccer videos in a sports chapter of a newspaper and even with transparency it worked very well. 
As I tested all attributes, i can send you some suggestions to improve the tool.

1) The videogui doesn't resize if I change the video width/height. For example. Publish a video with 100x100 (width x height) and enable the control bar. You will see that controls get bigger than the video area.

2) Is there any way of prevent videos of start and wait for the user to click on play? some attribute like "autostart=false" . I'm currently using the attribute "onlywhenactive" to guarantee that video only starts in current page. But there's a page where I have to show 5 videos, and all of them are starting together. If there's some attribute to prevent them to start it would be great.

3) Minor suggestion.. if we have a button to "show fullscreen" video on the "videogui" it would be cool

Yeah, quite some were lost... it's more than half a month, after all. Well, better than all of it being gone.

1) I'll look into it.

2) Duly noted, added to my todo-list

3) I think some of the GUIs in the the zip from the download area have that button on them. I remember that that can cause quite some problems when the engine goes into zoom mode, though (either because of the zoom or the user clicking the button in the control bar).

Hi Florian,

Here's another bug. If we define a combination of url and control bar for a video, the control bar doesn't work. If we try to click on pause, for example, it opens the link defined in url.

I'll see to it.

Here me again

Other two problems.

1) If we zoom a page that contains a video, the video doesn't stop while we are reading the zoomed image.
2) I've tested the "onlywhenactive" attribute some time ago and if seems to be working. But now I needed to use it in another situation, and there was a problem.
   2.1) I put an FLV video on the first page and on the page 24. There are 30 pages.
   2.2) Both are with these attributes: "nopause="false"  onlywhenactive="true"  restart="false" "
   2.3) It works! I listened to the only first page video audio.
 
   2.4) I changed the location of the second video. Now I have a video on first page and a video on the page 6.
   2.5) Now, when I open the book , both videos starts together, and I can listen to both audios.

Is there something about "maxloaded" book attribute? I tried to change it to 11 but it didn't solve it.

1) Added stopping videos when opening zoom to todo list.

2) No idea, I'll look into it when I have the time.
