I don't think the problem here was the uploader. I started scratching my head because I have tried Uploadify and i am familar with what it does. They told me to change the default uploader, UBER-UPLOADER to Uploadify, a JQuery uploader. Cliphouse Tech support took 2 weeks to get back to me with no solution to the problem. Sometimes it would get stuck at 15% or 60%. For example, after waiting for an hour the progress bar would get stuck at 99% and throw an Internal Server Error. Sometimes when I upload a video, it would get stuck at a random point. Progress Bar gets stuck and 500 Internal Server Error Type whereis ffmpeg and it will give you the path for it.Ĥ. If you are not sure about the paths, ask your hosting provider. For vexxhost the paths are typically these: So on Cliphouse admin, you just go to Setup -> Paths and enter the correct paths to those encoders. The solution for this was to specify the correct path for the following: ffmpeg, flvtool2, mencoder, mplayer. Then you notice a message from Admin saying that the video was deleted because the video could not be converted. But then your video is nowhere to be found on the site. As soon as you upload a video, you get redirected to a page that says the video was uploaded successfully. This problem was intermittent and I couldn't figure out why it was happening for most videos i uploaded. Videos do not show up or Unfortunately Video May Not Be Converted So I just put a background color on that div and now i could see the progress bar.ģ.

The problem was that the div for the progress bar was pointing to a background image that wasn't existing. I didn't find anything on the knowledge base for this so I just dug into the PHP code. The only thing I couldn't see was the progress bar.

So i did both these, and the uploader started working. I went to their knowledge base and they had the solution for this:Ī) First of all make sure that /cgi-bin/ directory and file /cgi-bin/ubr_ have 755 permissions.ī) Make sure uploader/tmp has write permissions. For instance, after script installation, I tried uploading a 2MB video, and I immediately got the popular "Failed to find flength file" problem.

They just install the script and leave you to do the rest of the configuration. The Cliphouse script installation was almost useless. We chose Shared hosting to see if the product works the cheapest way possible. DHS hosting was more expensive and had less storage. We chose Vexxhost hosting instead of DHS for price reasons.

The main reason I chose this product.Ĭliphouse has a hosting partner called DHS. Video ads plugin - For advertising on the video player. Server setup option - They configure the modules on your server to make sure everything works properly. I haven't used up my credit for this yet.Ĥ. Load balance plug-in - For better performance on a multi-server setup.

Branding free option - They remove all links to DZOIC on your site.ģ. Script installation option - They do the installation of the script on your server.Ģ. This was the primary reason why I chose Cliphouse.Īfter an impressive online demo of Cliphouse, we decided to purchase their product along the following:ġ. Other scripts, including Clipshare can only set mid-roll ads for all videos. The Cliphouse admin has the ability to configure different banners (mid-rolls, pre-rolls, etc) to display on a specific video or a category of videos. All of them have similar features but only Cliphouse beat the others with their Video Ads plug-in. I have evaluated different video sharing scripts on the market including Clipshare the most popular one. They have a members forum with a lot of complaints from customers on how tech support takes too long to (or never) respond. You can hardly find any reviews on it on the web. This is a relatively new product in the market.
