Description

Transcoder easily converts all audio and video files uploaded to your website to a web-friendly format.

All transcoding services are available via a subscription plan through this plugin. Subscribe to our free plan from the plugin's settings or from our product page. Note that Transcoder will not provide any services without a subscription plan.

Transcoder Features

1. Works with ANY WordPress website - Transcoder plugs into your current website seamlessly, instantly improving user audio/video experience.
2. rtMedia integration - Works perfectly with our own rtMedia, for a complete social media platform.
3. Thumbnail generation - Automatically generate up to 10 thumbnails for every video, from which your users can choose one.
4. [rt_media] shortcode - Use our shortcode to display transcoded audio/video file on any post or page. For example, [rt_media attachment_id=xx] the attachment_id parameter specifies the file to be displayed.

Privacy Warning

In order for us to transcode your media files, we need to copy it over to our server. After transcoding is completed, the media can reside on our server for a maximum of 24 hours, before it is permanently and irreversibly removed by a Cron job.

Issue with re-transcoding the audio file

While re-transcoding the audio file the error message is displayed. Below error message is displayed.

The error message was: Unknown failure reason.

Steps to reproduce:

1. activate the transcoder plugin and upload the audio file.
2. Click on re-transcode media

Upload.New.Media.Pavan.WordPress.mp4

After changing the laravel server api url, retranscoding of the file(s) which were not transcoded should be transcoded

Please check the below steps:

1. Assume that your site points to some api.xyz.com api server and is not working properly.
2. Now, Upload the file from the front end (Activity Page / Media Page)
3. It will send the file to api server but because of some technical issue file is not getting transcoded.
4. Now, Change the api server url to correct one
5. Try Retranscoding the same media file.
6. Observe that the file is not getting transcoded and it will show the message - Looks like the server is taking too long to respond, Please try again in some time.

UPDATE:

Current Behavior
Transcoder with WordPress Media Uploads
Video thumbnail is set based on the featured image uploaded and doesn't depend on the thumbnails generated from transcoding
Ideally, if we are showing the thumbnails after transcoding then those should be shown as featured image

Transcoder with rtMedia Uploads
By default after transcoding featured image is set for the video(which is thumbnail)
Now if we change the thumbnail then the thumbnail is getting updated as expected even if featured image is removed
For rtMedia uploads if featured image is uploaded that doesn't get set as thumbnail as the thumbnails are set from frontend..

Expected Behavior
Transcoder with WordPress Media Uploads
Irrespective of the featured image, the thumbnail should get updated

PHP conflict with other plugin

Hi there,

This is a great plugin and working just fine, but I am having an issue when I have both this plugin and wp job manager plugin active.

The class in question is RT_Transcoder_Handler , there is a method in it named handle_callback which is fired in the init hook.

Now, I'm hoping you are familiar with the wp job manager plugin. Anyway, it has [submit_job_form] and [job_dashboard] shortcodes. These shortcodes renders job sumbit and edit forms.

When I submit these forms, your plugin method handle_callback gets $job_id from the form submission in line number 985 and dies in line number 1116. Also you have an undefined variable $mail in line number 1098.

I tried by myself, but could not fix it. I tried to remove the action conditionally like:

if($jobmnager) {
     remove_action( 'init', array( $rt_transcoder_admin->transcoder_handler, 'handle_callback' ), 20 );
}

But I failed because the transcoder_handler property is private.

So maybe renaming the variable job_id in the filter_input function (line number 985) can fix the issue.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks
Razor

Transcoding Failing for 3gp video

@Souptik2001

As we discussed just now, on our internal development site, transcoding failed when we tried to transcode a 3gp video.

Please check if the issue is reproducing on other sites and if something needs fixing.

Please find some work around for License key when user downloads plugin from wp org repo on wp site itself

Scenario: As per current implementation, free Transcoder plugin can be downloaded from wordpress.org or from rtmedia.io site.

1. If the user downloads it from rtmedia.io then no issue with that as we are generating the invoice and sending the key along with it

2. If the user downloads it from wp.org then to get the transcoder license key, s/he has to download it again from rtmedia.io site!

Please find some work around to avoid duplicate download process. We need to find some solution so that users who are downloading it from wp org also gets the transcoder key.

Please ref to this visual where I have to follow the things mentioned in point 2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qqdnb_gNOuLQ2h2fqhzESuZm4hY-pqO-/view

[.convert_status.column-convert_status] class is missing for audio and some video file type

3. Observe, that in case of Audio file it is not showing up.

While retranscoding the old thumbnail should get removed

During the retranscode, there could the the media files which were already transcoded. That means there will be a thumbnail as well for each file.

Now, for the better user experience, we should remove the previously generated thumbnail.

• Over-write video thumbnails after retranscoding

• Allow admin to track real-time transcoding status on user profile

---

• 2. .flv file type is not allowed.

---

• 3. Getting the timeout notice with HTTP API Calls on transcoder settings page.

https://thumbnail-demo.dev3.rt.gw/wp-admin/admin.php?page=rt-transcoder

---

• 4. Retransode functionality is completely broken.

• Single media retranscoding ❌

• multiple media retranscoding ❌

• Bulk retranscoding ❌

• Dashboard > Transcoder > Retranscde Media ❌

It always takes me to this page where I see this static information is placed. Also, the progress bar is missing.

---

• 5. Number of video thumbnails generated - It always generates double number of thumbnails then given value.

E.g Here I have set the value to 3 then after transcoding it shows 6 thumbnails

NOTE: It seems it is generating duplicate thumbnails. Please check the highlighted part of the screenshot above.

Wrong message issue when the user has canceled the subscription

Upon canceling the subscription, the user is getting the mail notification for cancel subscription which tell the user that You have canceled the subscription which is ✅

But the Dashboard shows this message(screenshot) which is completely misleading.
We are conveying different information in mail and dashboard. This should be fixed.

The users are clueless about what action needs to be performed in this scenario as he himself is not aware that it is cause of cancel subscription event.

Support for PDF automated preview.

WordPress has a default feature to generate a preview image of PDF when the user uploads PDF in the media library. However, that only work if the server has "Imagick" and "Ghostscript" extensions are loaded. But on the VIP-GO platform doesn't have those extensions.

For those platforms, We are providing API in Laravel transcoder to generate preview thumbnail. So we here we need to develop a feature to utilize that API.

Things to DO.

• Send a request to the transcoder server, When any PDF is uploaded in the media library.
• Handle postback request from the transcoder server.
  • Download preview images.
  • Generate various sizes of the thumbnail.
  • Update attachment metadata.

[Video - .wmv file type] is rendered as Audio file type on server side

Steps:

1. Upload video file with .wmv supported format from media.php file (Or from any other location)
2. Wait for the file to be transcoded.
3. Observe on the server side where it renders this file type as audio file type and hence it does not show up the status as File is transcoded under the status column once transcoding is done.

Issue with transcoding the previously uploaded .m4a files

Description
When you try to retranscode an old .m4a file, which was uploaded/added to media before Transcoder activated, it'll show a message like below:
"NAME" (ID 44) is MP3 file already. No need to send for transcoding

How to reproduce

• Keep the Transcoder plugin inactive
• Upload a .m4a file
• Activate the Transcoder plugin
• Now, try to retranscode the uploaded .m4a file

How it should be
As we accept retranscoding other file formats, even though uploaded before Transcoder activated, we need to do the same for .m4a file format as well.

Investigate Retranscode Media functionality

Transcoder offers a way to retranscode media:

However, the functionality seems to fail when re-retranscoding, useful in cases where media files are replaced or if a job fails:
Unfortunately, Transcoder failed to transcode this file (see above)

The status page confirms the failure:

To do:
Investigate why Transcoder fails in this case, perhaps related to the verification logic checking the presence of an immutable variable that's set the first time a file is transcoded.
Ideally, Transcoder should push through all retranscode requests, no questions asked.

A good place to start might be the logic behind the Check Status button:

Add support for transcoding service on load balancing server

Transcoding service does not work on work on load balancing server.
Transcoded files are not being downloaded.

Make plugin VIP-GO compatible.

Things to DO.

• Make WordPress transcoder plugin VIP Compatible. PHPCS issues.
• Update phpcs.xml file

To check phpcs issues on local.

phpcs --standard=WordPressVIPMinimum,WordPress-VIP-Go ./

Issue list with Check status button

• 1. Check status button should be visible if the relevant setting is kept enable from settings.

It should be reflected at below places regardless of any active BuddyPress template.

1. On the activity page
2. When the media is posted as the BuddyPress comment
3. When the media is posted as a comment from a lightbox.

As per the current scenario, the Check Status button is only visible in case only when the Buddypress Nouveau template is active and the only on the activity page.

Please fix it for point 2 and 3 mentioned above.

• 2. Throws PHP errors in AJAx response while clicking on check status button from upload.php page.

Steps:

1. Upload audio/video media file anywhere in your site
2. upload.php page would show up the Check Status button in the dashobard
3. Click on Check status button trigger the errors in the console while transcoding is in progress
4. Once the file is transcoded the errors will be gone.

transcoded_temp_filename filter modification to remove the random numbers from the media file

We already have a filter transcoded_temp_filename to remove the random numbers from media file once the media file is transcoded.

But this filter currently, removes random number only from the transcoded media file thumbnails. And we need filter to remove random numbers generated from the media files.

Just need modification in the existing filter with an extra optional parameter.

So that for old all users, it should work as it is. If any customer adds a second param to force change the name of file then only it should change the file name.
