Title: Disable the Adobe Flash Player Not Longer Working Window for Video Files
Post by: ppmgs on December 26, 2021, 11:15:48 pm
Hello there!
Since Flash Player is no logner a thing - and it made videos currently unplayable on CPG - I wanted to ask if there's an option to disable/remove the window for video file (after such file is opened) in CPG. My goal is to remove the window and replace it with an altered download photo button plugin, so the new button would open the .webm video in new window causing it to play in the browser. By the way I'd also like to ask ask.. is there an option for the plugin to only display the content/button/whatever only under video files/certain media types (in this case .webm files)? Also, if anybody got a better way/idea on how to play video content on coppermine please lmk!
Thank you for any responses in advance, attaching the screenshot below for better understandings  :-*

Use the file types editor plugin to change the player for those videos to the HTMLV player.

SERIOUS thanks for the response, this plugin has completely changed the game for me!
Using the file types editor plugin (https://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,79569.msg385770.html#msg385770), I managed to add .mp4 filetype (MIME type: application/x-shockwave-flash), and to make it display through a HTML5 video tag. Now I can not only upload .mp4 video files, but they also display normally for everyone visiting my site!!  ;D ;D That plugin makes video files finally displayable without the adobe flash, a game changer for many people for sure!  :)
Also, I assume that you have mistakenly replied with a wrong url/url for a wrong plugin - Final Extract. Before I've found File Types Editor one, I downloaded it, and checked it out. It turned out to be really useful, as it helped me with the removal of some unnecessary menu buttons - so double thanks for your reply!
