Default php settings do not allow uploads for files larger than 2 MB.
For larger file uploads, you need to edit following php.ini settings
* file_uploads
* upload_max_filesize
* max_input_time
* memory_limit
* max_execution_time
* post_max_size
upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
upload_max_filesize is the maximum file size that can be uploaded with php script.
post_max_size should be larger than upload_max_filesize as files are uploaded with POST method.
max_execution_time and max_input_time
max_input_time is the time script accept file inputs. You should put a height value for this.
max_execution_time is the maximum time upload script is allowed to execute, it should be larger than max_input_time
memory_limit
When the PHP engine is handling an incoming POST it needs to keep some of the incoming data in memory. So you should put a height value for this.
NOTE
Your server will only able to allocate memory for your script if it is available. If you are using shared server, chances are other sites too using memory and CPU resources. So there is no guarantee that your site/script will able to get the memory you set in the php.ini
If you are on a loaded shared server, you may face problems when uploading large files.

PHPmotion Video Player (v3.5 upward)
As of V3.5, PHPmotion now has a new video player. We have built this new player with the aim of making at easy as possible to customise how it looks and how it works.
Note: This page is a work in progress and will be updated in due course.
How to control/customise the player
You can set various settings which determine how the player works and looks. These settings are called flashvars and are found main in 2 PHPmotion template file. (note that if you are using a custom theme, you must look in that themes folder)
- /themes/templates/default/templates/inner_index.htm
- /themes/templates/default/templates/make_player.html
Inside these template files, you will find a section that looks something like this:
<!--start of PHPmotion Player -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
flashvars.player_mode = "normal";
flashvars.playlist = "no";
flashvars.logo = "top_right";
flashvars.floating_navbar = "false";
flashvars.color_nav_bar_top = "0x478dc2";
flashvars.color_nav_bar_bottom = "0xE7EBEC";
flashvars.ads_background_color = "0x00CCFF";
flashvars.ads_border_color = "0xCCCCCC";
flashvars.scrubber_position_color = "0x6AA1CE";
flashvars.scrubber_load_color = "0x888888";
flashvars.scrubber_background_color = "0xBBBBBB";
flashvars.volume_bar_color = "0xBBBBBB";
flashvars.aspect_ratio="stretch";
params.allowfullscreen = "true";
params.allowscriptaccess = "sameDomain";
//___dynamic settings________
flashvars.flvsource = "[var.base_url]/uploads/[var.video_play]";
flashvars.preview_image = "[var.base_url]/[var.thumb_file]";
flashvars.url_logo = "[var.base_url]/images/playerlogos/logo-player.png";
flashvars.buffering_time = [var.video_buffer_time];
flashvars.autoplay = "[var.auto_play_vid]";
flashvars.display_ads = "[var.player_defaults_ads]";
[var.player_defaults_ads_xml]
//___dynamic settings end ______
swfobject.embedSWF("[var.base_url]/player.swf", "myAlternativeContent", "560", "420", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
