Failed to fetch video
First, ensure that you have CURL enabled on your site.
If you do have CURL enabled, and the problem persists, likely Youtube adds redirection on their videos page when your server tries to access it quite a number of times. Here's what you can do, edit the file JOOMLA/components/com_community/helpers/remote.php and add the following at around line 22.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
Unlicensed copy (only applicable to 1.6.x and below)
We have recently just updated our new downloads area which is accessible at http://www.jomsocial.com/component/account/. In this new area, old license keys has been removed as JomSocial 1.6 is very outdated version, and have lost support years ago. Since version 1.8, jomSocial is GPL component and you don't need any license keys.
You should consider updating your component to enjoy all the goodies newest version have to offer.
My video thumbnails are not showing up
- Make sure you’re running on the latest version of Jomsocial.
- Make sure the “Videos Root Folder” in the configuration matches the location of the videos. Tips: Don’t put the full path. Just the folder name. e.g. videos.
Why is the video still in pending status after so long?
- If you are using shared hosting service, most probably your hosting company don’t have FFmpeg installed.
- Probably you did not enter FFmpeg path correctly.
- Schedule task/Cron is not running. Read how to setup cron. http://www.jomsocial.com/docs/Cron_Setup
- Incorrect folder permissions. FFmpeg couldn’t create new videos or thumbnails as result. Please turn on the Joomla FTP layer.
