Hello dear friends!
Hope you’ve enjoyed a nice week so far. I bet all iPhone owners (me too!) are running iOS5 by now, so that’s nice.
Now, I suggest we move forward and do something productive for a change.
We’ve just released PHP Melody 1.6.7 and I want to share with you some of the changes.
Let’s start with the improvements and bug fixes:
- Fixed the database backup procedure
- Fixed problems in mp4 and flv uploading
- Fixed username renaming issue
- Fixed ‘private article’ preview page
- Fixed vulnerability issue where moderators can make themselves admins
- Fixed the MegaVideo thumbnail issue
- Updated installer
- Updated phpmailer class included
- Improved number formating for more readable data
- Caching of categories for reduced MySQL load and increased speed
- Video chart optimization
- + a few other minor issues
And now, here are the new features:
- You can now check the status of your locally hosted videos
- Multi-level categories (e.g. sub-sub-sub categories)
- Select multiple categories when adding or importing videos
- Testing option for the email settings (many customers had problems adding an email account)
- RSS with thumbnail image support
- Video sitemap generator
- Better audio playback with cool visualisation effects
- JW Player with the following improvements:
- Time indicator in the time slider (for accurate skipping)
- Related videos are displayed on PAUSE on once the video finished playing
- Skin support with 19 pre-loaded skins to choose from
- New translations: Slovak, Polish and improved Arabic
- New video sources: izlesene.com, vidivodo.com, mynet.com and videobb.com
That wraps it up!
