Version 3.18

IT IS BEST TO HAVE OpenSSL PHP MODULE INSTALLED BEFORE UPDATING IF YOU HAVEN'T UPDATED TO 3.17 YET!
Go to distrifile.com and view the release notes for 3.17 if you haven't.

[FIXED] Public share email not sending or logging in PHP 7.2. It should work now.
[FIXED] Audio waveform appearing when previewing audio files.
[ENHANCED] File Searching
  • Now you can search for multiple phrases and if a file's name OR description contains whatever is typed, it will be the result.
  • Example: AAA_123_TEST.mp4 You could search for "AAA mp4" or "1 test" and that file will be in the results. All versions prior to this release wouldn't do this.
  • Note, searching "uncategorized" files doesn't work, but searching "All Files" and files in folders does work.
[ENHANCED] Upload complete waits for analyzing to finish before sharing.
  • This allows file descriptions that contain automatic entries to be included in notification emails IF files are shared upon uploading. This will also wait until a file's LKFS measurement is taken if directed to do so in system settings and/or upload option selected.
  • The file(s) will also be locked until analyzing is completed. This makes sure that a file's name can't be changed while analyzing is being performed. (Just like when a file is being sent via FTP.)
  • The only time this should take more than a couple of seconds is if there is a LKFS audio measurement being taken.
[ENHANCED] Uploader
  • If there is an error such as the file existing once selected, now there is no need to refresh the uploader!
  • The script will now show the add files icon so you can select another file without refreshing.
  • It will also hide the global progress information if there isn't any current progress.
  • This is a huge benefit because if you already filled out sharing to users, groups, folders, or set options; those won't be removed when the uploader was refreshed. Just select another file or rename it and then select and upload.
  • Also added missing translated tooltips for the uploader icons.
[ADDED] Option to use either single field per email, or allow multiple email addresses for one field when creating public shares.
  • Set this in Site Settings > Files > Enter public share email addresses separately?
  • If using multiple addresses for one field, separate each with a comma or semicolon.
  • Either way will validate the addresses for typical errors (but not if its actually a working email address.)
  • Will also validate whether the setting to allow public shares to system users.
[ADDED] Advanced Media Processing
  • This is designed mostly for Broadcast files, however it could be beneficial in other ways.
  • IF you have mediainfo and/or ffmpeg installed on the server you will find additional options available in Site Controller > Site Settings > Files. Scroll all the way down until you see Advanced Media Processing.
  • These options are global, that is all files for all users will be effected upon upload.
  • All Media (audio/visual files such as mp4, mpg, mov, etc.)
    • Duration: Upon uploading A/V files, the system can place the duration of the file in the description automatically.
  • Broadcast (whatever you specify as broadcast.)
    • Broadcast Identification: Comma separated entries to specify a broadcast file. (Example: HD.mpg, BC.mov, etc.)
    • Broadcast Description: Entry to place in the description if a file matching Identification array is uploaded.
    • Automatically Analyze: Will immediately upon upload analyze the files uploaded matching broadcast identification setting. This will scan the file and create the file report (same as when you right click a file for "Details and Statistics.")
    • Description Settings: IF a file is analyzed, you can specify various things to go into the description if a match or if it contains things such as Closed Captions, etc.
    • Note, these description options are global and some will override a user's Automatic Description Rules and possibly could in some scenarios double the description value. If so, a user should remove that rule if you see that. Also, you can place this info as a placeholder in your rules if you don't want it appended to your rules. Just use the rule {AMP} (any value can be used for description value, it won't be used though).
  • Example description if everything is enabled:
    • Client Name | Broadcast | 30 Seconds | Closed Captioned | -24.1 LKFS
  • With this whole function now setup on a global basis, it will be easier to implement further functions soon; such as create a lower resolution, streamable, HTML5 preview file (mp4) for files that can't be previewed natively in the browser. COMING SOON! If you have any ideas for more processing, let me know.
