I am having the same problem as people in another post. Trying to add a YouTube ID and it just results in a blank screen. I really only want to use the plug in for this feature rather than uploading my own because they’re all over the 10MB limit. Any help?
THANK YOU!
Hello,
I just updated my wordpress site to 3.4.1 version, and my cool video gallery plugin to 1.6 version. Now cvg is not working properly. Shadowbox and player to be specific. On IE and mozilla it gives me white background with old quicktime player. On safari it gives me a solid brown background, ant player is missing some features, like the option to x out.
Can anyone help? Thanks
On my v1.6, I cannot seem to upload to a new gallery.
1. I create a gallery.
2. I upload the video, and point to the appropriate (new) gallery.
3. Upload proceeds as one would expect, no issues. I can see the percentage of upload in the progress box.
4. At 100%, when I would expect to see the annunciator bar at the top say “(1) videos successfully uploaded, as I have see a hundred times, not it says – 0 videos.
5. I look at my server /wp-content/uploads/video-gallery/NAME OF VIDEO. And it is there, right where it is supposed to be. Indeed, as I have tried this upload procedure several times before trying to contat you here, I see
of the upload attempts.
Everything was working fine until this last Major Change. Do I need to reconfigure anything? What am I doing wrong here?
BTW, I deleted, and reinstalled v1.6, to no avail.
Thanks, Praveen. I really like this plug-in, I just wish I could get it to work.
Uh-oh… No Reply in a week. AWOL?
Hey Praveen
Is there a way to split the option of displaying video description in “gallery view” and “video player”?
Because when I activate the display of description, in “gallery view” horizontal alignment get messed up. I want description just to be shown as a tooltip or when video plays at the bottom of the player, not at the gallery view!
Thanks again for your great plugin.

@praveen Rajan: Hey, I solved the scrollbar problem. been researching this all day all over the web, a lot of people have it, but many people don’t have it so it’s hard to come up with a solution when it’s not a common problem. What I did was open the code with Opera’s “inspect element” and tried to change the plugin’s native CSS with this in my CSS:
#fancybox-content {
overflow: hidden !important;
border: 10px solid #000 !important;
}
That didn’t work at all, so I opened the code again looking for the problem and realized that the core of the problem is in the DIV of the Fancybox (the one that holds the video element);
<div style="width:640px;height:486px;overflow: auto;position:relative;">
Now, I am no CSS wizard, so I wasn’t able to come up with a workaround for this via CSS, what I did instead was to change the jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack file, in the cool-video-gallery/third_party_lib/fancybox folder. I looked for the word “overflow” and changed “auto” for hidden. I am just a graphics designer, not a programmer but that seemed to do the trick. I don’t know what the side effects of my hack were so I would like to ask if this fix will appear in the next update or I have to do this every time I update the plugin.
Having issue cannot upload preview image for videos that have been uploaded – upload bar just loops and nothing happens
I also can’t delete videos. Also, when I’m in the add videos screen the tabs don’t work properly.
It’s weird, this used to work before, I don’t know what changed.
Anyhow, I’m abandoning the plugin due to lack of support.
Also having issues deleting videos and galleries at the moment.
FYI, I changed to the much simpler and well functioning YouTube SimpleGallery:

Thanks, will check that out!
Hello,
I am using Cool Video Gallery to post videos on my blog and I must say that I just love it.
All was fine till now a week ago when WordPress has been updated and now I CAN’T:
-Upload video thumbnails
-Delete videos
-Delete gallery
-CVG Showcase Widget shows the same videos at all times instead of showing the last video upload on the top of the old ones!
Can anyone help in this matter.
I know this is a FREE service and this takes time to be fixed and even so CVG is exactly what I NEED FOR MY BLOG.
Maybe the developer of this plugin will have some spare time to have a look at the plugin.
Thank you Rajan
Best wishes

Anyone having problems with youtube videos not being added to galleries? You might be lacking bcmath functions…
If you are on a linux server chances that bcmath support is missing are very high ( windows has them built in ).
To overcome the issue you can add this code to your functions.php file.
@ Rajan
: you might put this code in the core.php outside the class definition.
Cheers
