macian Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 I wish to attempt to upload a trial AV to Slideshowclub but, as I have not tried to do this before, I would like some guidance from the more experienced workers. I have an MP4 zipped file of about 114mb which copies to the site OK and a still image, jpeg which I assume is for identification purposes. Then I get stuck at #3 "File Name". Do I just copy the file name or give it a different name? Do I include "MP4 and .zip?) What is meant by "+ Add Tag" and "Follow this file" and "About this file?"

rosy Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi Maclan It's a long time since I uploaded to SSC as most of my shows now contain mostly video & the file size on SSC is restricted. File name is the mane of the show, add tag is just a name to follow the show with rather than the full name. Follow this file sends you info about comments on the show, About this file is just a short description of what the show is about. (I Hope) Rosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macian Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have now succeeded in uploading a file to Slideshowclub, it is "Aspects of the Algarve…" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosy Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hi Maclan. I see you've only uploaded a mac version. We lived on the Algarve for 12 months, would have been intersted in what you have shown. Rosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosy Rosy: In the original posting, he said it was actually an .MP4 file, so it should work on any system if that is in fact what he uploaded. Having troubles downloading at the moment so I can't confirm. If it is an MP4, it should be tagged as both "PC and Mac". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosy Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi MHW It just says Mac on SSC so I didn't bother trying, he'll be on later to confirm one way or the other. Regards Rosy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macian Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks, Rosy. I will try to upload a PC version tomorrow. I know it has a Mac tag, but did you try to download and run it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macian Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I have now uploaded a Video version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 There was no need to upload the MP4 version other than the slight decrease in file size. The .pteav file in the original upload worked perfectly well on my PC. Both versions come with a "_MACOSX" folder. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosy Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Finally got it, don't know why but I had to go through about 5 screens before I was able to download it. Didn't see Portimao where we were for 12 months in 2004/5. Lovely country though. Cheers Rosy PS Just dug one of my old shows out & screen shot this from Portimao.

macian Posted April 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I have more shots of the area but my AV was at the size limit! We love Gale, Carvoeiro, Feragudo and Portimao. We stay at Hapimag appts. in Praia do Castelo. (Phot attached.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosy Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hi Macian Those pavement cobbles make me cringe, had more near accidents walking on them, especially when they are wet. We stayed at the Marina Hotel last time we were there. Cheers Rosy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
