VIMP 5.2

VIMP 5.2 offers numerous optimizations “under the hood” in addition to new useful features. Read here what has changed.

Tag Management

With the new Tag Management in the administration area of VIMP, you can comfortably manage all tags that users have entered. You can edit or delete existing tags and add new ones.

Transfer media

Every now and then there may be a need to transfer media from one user to another. Until now this had to be done by an administrator, from now on your users can also transfer their media to other users independently.

As a user, you make a request to the user to whom you want to transfer the media.

If the user confirms the request, the medium changes ownership.

Extended comment functions

Own comments on media, livestreams or blog posts can now be edited or deleted by the users themselves.

In addition, friends can be linked in comments. Such tagged users will receive a notification so that they are made aware of the respective post.

The most important innovations in VIMP 5.2

Subcategories visible instantly

On a category page, all subcategories are now immediately visible and retrievable in their hierarchy.

So, in addition to the hierarchy in the category menu, you now get a hierarchical overview of all categories that are still nested below on every category page that has subcategories.

Template Manager

The new Template Manager lets you conveniently make CSS adjustments directly from the administration area – including a preview so you can immediately check if everything fits.

It is no longer necessary to make adjustments directly in the corresponding CSS file. This is automatically created for you and managed update-safe.

Minimum server requirements for installing VIMP:

Webserver

PHP

MySQL/MariaDB

Transcoding
Please install the transcoding tools exactly as described in the documentation. Installing the standard packages is not sufficient due to patent regulations.

CSS modifications
To concatenate modified CSS files, npm must be installed.

Hardware

As a minimum requirement we recommend:

For productive use we recommend:

We recommend using a RAID controller for additional data security.

Der VIMP Installationsservice beinhaltet:

  • Vorbereitung Ihres Servers
  • Installation der erworbenen VIMP Software
  • Installation der Transcoding Tools

Um von außen auf Ihren Server zugreifen zu können, benötigen wir folgendes:

  • SSH-Zugriff auf Ihren Server (idealerweise als root)
  • Vorinstalliertes Hosting (Apache + MySQL/MariaDB)

Wir empfehlen Linux als Betriebssystem. Eine Installation unter UNIX, BSD oder Windows ist ebenfalls möglich, wird von uns aber nicht offiziell unterstützt.

Webserver

  • Apache2
    • Version 2.4 empfohlen
  • oder NGINX

  • MySQL: Version 5.7 – 8.0
  • MariaDB: Mindestens Version 10.2
  • InnoDB muss installiert sein

Hardware

Als Mindestanforderung empfehlen wir:

  • Quad-Core-Prozessor
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 500 GB Festplattenspeicher (die benötigte Größe hängt im Wesentlichen von der Medienzahl ab)

Für den produktiven Einsatz empfehlen wir:

  • Hexa-Core-Prozessor oder besser (mehr Kerne ermöglichen insbesondere eine schnellere Transcodierung der Medien)
