Your Coppermine gallery might need a plugin or extension to handle .mp4 files properly. Coppermine is great for images but sometimes needs a little extra for video playback. Check the Coppermine plugins repository for a video player plugin that supports .mp4 files. I had the same problem a while ago; the only way to solve it was by using a video editing platform.

 Well, after long searches, I came across this free movie maker called Movavi, and it's very nice; you should check it out. I figured out what and how to do everything in less than half an hour.

Thanks - that's fixed it. Happy website again.

Hallo Nico,
vielen Dank für die Antwort auf meinen alten Post. Das mit der CSS bekomme ich ja noch hin, aber ich wüsste nicht, wo und wie ich das in der theme.php integrieren sollte? Ich habe immer die neueste Version von Coppermine und als Theme nutze ich curve_silver. Aber so wichtig ist mir die Einfärbung des Kategorienamen jetzt nicht mehr, sodass sich das eigentlich erledigt hat.


Danke und Gruß, Volker

As for the issue with images showing as new and the critical error, it might be related to file permissions or database problems. Check the permissions and reach out to your gallery software or hosting support for assistance.

You can try using FFmpeg for this. It's a powerful command-line tool that can do the job. Just run something like:'' ffmpeg -i your_video.flv -vf "select=eq(n\,0)" -vframes 1 thumbnail.jpg''. This command will extract the first frame of your FLV video and save it as a thumbnail. You can then use a loop or a batch script to do this for multiple videos.

To share out a single album without having people log in, you can set the album's privacy settings to "public." This way, anyone with the direct link to that album will be able to view it, while the others remain private. Just go to the album's settings and adjust the privacy options accordingly.

If you are able to edit one of the PHP files ..

In the file include/iptc.inc.php
replace line 45:

Code: [Select]

'SubCategories' => val_IPTC($iptc,'2#020'), # Max 32 octets, repeatable, alphanumericwith:

Code: [Select]

'SubCategories' => val_IPTC($iptc,'2#020', false), # Max 32 octets, repeatable, alphanumeric
Adding correction for 1.6.26 release.

You may have also updated your PHP version.  Will look onto it ASAP.

After upgrading from cpg 1.6.19 to 1.6.25, I get an errror when I navigate to an album and click on an image.
Yes I have run update.php and this was fine before the update.
