    Is there a way to get MP4 support in plogger? It would be nice to be able to hosts videos using it.

    It's possible, but not easily done, and begins to carry Plogger away from its conception as a "lightweight image gallery".

    I would suggest instead using a free service like vimeo.com, which allows you to host and embed your videos in blog posts and webpages, as well as contains an online gallery.

    Thanks but working with one of the video hosting companies is a thing that I don't want to do (for the same reasons that I use plogger instead of flickr ;) )

    I'll try to find some video gallery program then :)

    I don't know what kind of website you have, but if you're using WordPress (for which there will eventually be a Plogger plugin), there is someone who wrote a plugin for video inclusion, in posts or as a gallery. Also supports option to use services like vimeo.com to store your movies and still show them inside your own site.

    There are several options over there, all still in development (as always): http://www.xyooj.com/blog/plink/technical/27/wordpress-youtube-video-gallery-plugin/

    TNLNYC,

    Have you taken a look at Loudblog: http://loudblog.de/

    I've played with it locally and I like what I see.

    I have found how to upload video files. I just added the extension to the list in plog_import.php around line 76

    if($filename_ext == "jpg" || $filename_ext == "gif" || $filename_ext == "bmp" || $filename_ext == "png")

    I tested it with a .avi file and it uploaded fine. The only thing is how to create a thumbnail for this, any suggestions?

    Thanks very much, looks much better than a red cross.

    maybe you can let the gallary for what it is

    and use a plugin script

    so you can aks the plugin release file

    so you can see withs plugins are available
    and you can select withs you want to have
    and download / auto install in plogger

    its just a idea

    so you can make more scripts and plugins and
    the people who are looking for a light gallary scripts can leave the plugins for what the are
    so they don't have to install them ?

    I have implemented the proposed idea in beta3 build 491, copy the files and you have very basic video support. For .mp4 and .wmv files Plogger now returns a video thumbnail instead of an error. If you want other extensions for your gallery, change the extension list in plog-functions.php line 1214.

    Plogger is an easy, fast and lightweight image gallery - obviously it would be nice if Plogger was able to extract a thumbnail from the video and show the video in a nicer way, but work (at least at this point) from the developers on this, carries Plogger too far away from its purpose.

    I agree with evinx, there should be some kind of plugin or extendability to plogger to allow video. Having a system for adding features to plogger would serve the people looking for added features but at the same time not have plogger stray away from its original design of being a lightweight image gallery.

    I absolutely agree too - an extension system is the way to go for advanced video support. Having an extension tab right next to the themes tab in the admin, would be great.

    I will not be able to code this in any near future, but I would love to hear your ideas. There certainly is an open seat in the developer team for someone who have the means and desire to implement a robust extension system. Developing a video extension as a means to find a standard for the extension system, would in my point of view be an excellent way to approach it.
