[Skip lazyloading of the first thumbnail]

On 5/18/2024 at 10:51 AM, Tech Support said:

In theory this could be done in template, this is not related to a KVS version, as lazy-loading is a theme question.

However the template code around thumbs loading is quite complicated, it is also using WebP check to decide if a browser supports webp. So I would say it is very difficult to modify this code to skip lazy-loading of the first image.

The real solution would be to stop using JS code for WebP check and use HTML lazy-loading plus HTML webp support check (and in the nearest future AVIF support). This is what we are actually doing in a new theme version (it is far from complete anyway). So the correct template code around video thumbs should be like this (not a 100% working code, just an example):

<picture>
	<source srcset="..." type="image/webp"/>
	<img loading="lazy" src="..."/>
</picture>

Then it would be very easy to avoid loading the first image with the lazyload.

Got it. So I'll wait for the official support in the new theme version.

[LA threshold variables]

Hi, 

The docs say 

Quote

LA thresholds listed above can be modified in the configuration file: /admin/include/setup.php.

However, in the file, there are no variables related to LA thresholds. How can I modify the default values?

Thanks,

[Skip lazyloading of the first thumbnail]

Hello,

This is mainly about homepage, tag page and category page - is there an option to skip lazyload of the first image? First image is always above fold, so it should be loaded immediately to improve loading speed.

If not, could it be added in the next version?

[Mobile menu changes]

Hi,

Is it possible to add links to the mobile menu next to the hamburger, not inside it? Or do I need to custom code?

[Homepage blocks order]

Hi,

On homepage (index) I want first to show the newest videos and only then "videos being watched". What's the recommended way how to make this change, should I just edit the template or or is there some nicer way?

Under Website UI -> Pages / Blocks -> I see the responsible blocks, but the order is not possible to change for me or I don't know how.

[Working with SEO, texts and URLs in KVS themes]

Hi,

I wonder, is it possible to change the filename of video files and screenshot files to contain the video title? By default, they contain only the ID. Which is good function-wise, but not so much SEO-wise. 

[How to use SphinxSearch with KVS for better search and related videos performance]

Hi, 

Just checking, Sphinx 3.5.1 is still not supported? The last stable version before is 2.2.1, which is from 2016 🤡

[Running KVS in a folder]

Hi,

I have a site, let's say domain.com with Wordpress and some text content. However, I have a video section at domain.com/videos/. KVS could do this better than Wordpress, so my question is, is it possible to install and run KVS in a folder like domain.com/videos/ without interfering with the rest of the domain?

Thanks,

Tony

["(1)" is being appended to grabbed video titles automatically]

Hi,

I'm using the video grabber with the default grabber (yltp library) and all the videos have "(1)" at the end of each title. Why and how can I get rid of it?

Thanks,

Tony

[Recommendation engine integration]

Hi,

Are you planning on integrating with some recommendation engine (for homepage, related videos) like https://www.recombee.com/? 

[How to run multiple sites on one web server]

Hi,

I run a network of sites (~30) on Wordpress. I'm used to running multiple isolated sites on one server. 

I really like KVS, but:
1) 1 license = 1 domain, right?
2) Can I run multiple sites on one web server easily? Storage and conversion servers would be separate. If yes, can I just create a new site in fastpanel and 

I know I can run one KVS instance on one server and use embed codes on the "satellites", but I get traffic only from SEO, so I don't like embedding another domain.

[Generic grabber not working - empty import.txt]

Just to help others - You have to click on "Save" even on the "Plugins home / Grabbers" screen. That was my problem. 

[Generic grabber not working - empty import.txt]

Already did, thank you.

KVS will not grab other KVS projects, even if grabber is working via yt-dlp.

Ok, I understand. I'd suggest writing it somewhere in the UI, so it's clear.

Anyway, I tried with http://desivdo.com/indian-super-hot-bhabi-fuck-by-husband/ (WP site). Local yt-dlp downloads it, KVS behaves the same (no new video, empty import.txt).

I wanted to check how it works in the demo site, but for obvious reason you have it disabled there.

[Generic grabber not working - empty import.txt]

Hi,

I have a fresh installation. I have Yt-dlp library installed, also the videos default grabber is added and set to download.

If I use the manual option, I give it one URL like https://txxx.com/videos/19870983/california-adventure/, it detects it should download the video but nothing happens. If I open import.txt, it's empty. Also there is no new video in the system.

If I give the same URL to yt-dlp library on my local machine, it works fine. What am I doing wrong?

[Player trying to load via HTTP]

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! We can close this now.

[Player trying to load via HTTP]

Hi,

I got the installation from you, it works OK, except I want to run my site on HTTPS only. I have a SSL certificate working, but on the video page it's trying to load the player CSS (http://www.domain.com/player/skin/youtube.css) via HTTP. How can I make sure KVS will use HTTPS everywhere?
