Hello,

I would like to install a newer flashvideo module on my gallery2 to use the newly added support for mp4
on the module page, http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:flashvideo, there is a link to a newer version of the module v1.0.5.

This new version does not show in the automatic install of plug-ins (get more plugins only give me 1.0.3).
I downloaded flashvideo_05 and tried to install it manually but gallery then tells me it is not compatible.
I do not know why gallery detects it as incompatible.

Gallery version = 2.3.1 core 1.3.0.1
API = Core 7.54, Module 3.9, Theme 2.6, Embed 1.5
PHP version = 5.2.6 apache2handler
Webserver = Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8h mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.6
Database = mysqli 5.0.67-community-nt, lock.system=database

Am I missing something obvious?

Thank you for your help.

I'm sorry I never got around to adding my latest update to the community downloads. But you can still install my update.

  • Download my update
  • unzip and upload/replace your current version
  • head to gallery admin -> plugins and update the flashvideo module.

You should now have extra admin options for flashvideo and mp4 support

OK I feel silly.
I swear I did exactly this before but I was getting a conflict error message from gallery.

So I followed your direction again, and now it works just fine!

Thanks suprsidr! and not only for helping here, I use other things from you such as your RSS generation script and I enjoy it!
