OpusVid will have multiple streams of licenses and Beta's.
There will be a FREE open source Community Version (CV) then there will be two different licenses versions which will be a paid version. There will be differences between all and will be explained in the following sections.
At this point there is only the CV in the form of a very early public beta also known as, CV 1.0 Beta 2.
The Community Version (CV) will be a FREE version of OpusVid in which is open sourced. This version will be available here on GitHub.
With the CV, the documentation will be very limited and bare-bone similar to the documentation that is seen below in the Installation section.
In addition, once the full script is launched the CV will only receive major updates and will receive them at a later time than the other versions. For instance, the paid version will get version 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1, etc. Whereas, the CV will only get version 1.0, 2.0.
The CV will not include much support from DevLexicon (the developers of OpusVid) and will be encouraged to use the "Issues" tab on the GitHub repository. For the beta versions before it hit’s the RL, EL, and BDV streams, the support for OpusVid will be a little more advanced to make sure a smooth transition and will show where improvements are needed.
If you submit multiple "Pull requests" that are beneficial to the script, DevLexicon may decide to award you a paid license for free.
The Regular License (RL) version will include all releases of OpusVid post launch. Included will be versions such as 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1, etc. These releases will be available as soon as they are available.
With the RL version you will also get more detailed documentation to help with configuration, troubleshooting, and overall improvement tips.
The RL and EL will also receive the ability to receive support from DevLexicon. The RL will receive medium level support (such as, basic configurations and basic troubleshooting | Slow Support) and the EL will receive high level support (advanced configuration and troubleshooting | Fast support). The support will be offered through “work orders” through the DevLexicon Portal.
Pricing and arability will be announced soon along with the launch of the first version of the OpusVid Script.
The Extended License (EL) version will include all releases of OpusVid post launch. Included will be versions such as 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1, etc. These releases will be available as soon as they are available.
With the EL version you will also get more detailed documentation to help with configuration, troubleshooting, and overall improvement tips.
The RL and EL will also receive the ability to receive support from DevLexicon. The RL will receive medium level support (such as, basic configurations and basic troubleshooting | Slow Support) and the EL will receive high level support (advanced configuration and troubleshooting | Fast support). The support will be offered through “work orders” through the DevLexicon Portal.
Pricing and arability will be announced soon along with the launch of the first version of the OpusVid Script.
The By Donation Version (BDV) version will include all releases of OpusVid post launch. Included will be versions such as 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1, etc. These releases will be available as soon as they are available.
With the BDV as long as you spend over a certain amount, it will contain more detailed documentation to help with configuration, troubleshooting, and overall improvement tips.
The BDV will also receive the ability to receive support from DevLexicon. The levels will range from low level support (such as base troubleshooting | Slowest Support). To the same as RL which will receive medium level support (such as, basic configurations and basic troubleshooting | Slow Support). To the same as EL which will receive high level support (advanced configuration and troubleshooting | Fast support). The support will be offered through “work orders” through the DevLexicon Portal.

Note that if you want more custom styling that aren’t to do with colours or fonts, you will need to do so via the stylesheet.css file found under views > css > stylesheet.css. Also if you change the font to another Google Font, font then you will need to update the import code in the stylesheet as well. Note that any changed made here will not transfer if you update the script.
You can rather chose to use the already made “SignupAccount” and just change the settings ("Dashboard" > “Administration +” > “Account Management” > “Edit User" beside the “SignupAccount”). Or you can “Logout” and create a new user with the settings that you want, then log back in to the “SignupAccount” and change the user status from “user” to “admin” ("Dashboard" > “Administration +” > "Account Management” > “Edit User” beside the “{NEWUSERNAME}”) on the newly created account, then login to the new account and then delete the “SignupAccount” ("Dashboard" > "Administration +” > “Account Management” > “Delete User” beside the “SignupAccount”).

Note that any changed made here will not transfer if you update the script. You can also change this in the database using the new categories table. In future versions we will have a more automated process for updating categories.
Before you upgrade to CV1.0B2 or any other version, please make sure to back up your current files and database files. Most importantly please make sure to backup your storage folders and database files. Due to the major updates in CV1.0B2 you will need to reupload all files to your sever. There is an upgrade script included that will automatically upgrade your database.
You may watch a video tutorial of the upgrade process on OpusVid
Make sure you download the OpusVid Script (rather by downloading the “Release > Code” or CV1.0B2). You can also fork the repository and use your severs git intergration to upload the files.
Once the files are done downloading please remove all the files from your server and reupload the newly downloaded files OR initiate the pull request on your git intergration on your server.
- Go to your OpusVid Script Root Folder and open the “
.htaccess” file (You may need to go into your FTP/Server settings and “Show Hidden Files") - Edit “
{WEBSITE URL}” with your URL (must include https://) online 5andline 14
- Enter your SQL login information in the
models > classes > MySQL.class.php - Upload your backed up "
videos", "thumbnails", "avatar", and "favicon" storage folders to your Opus Root Domin Name > Storage - Go to your
Root.Domain/controllers/database/upgrade.database - Let the code run to upgrade your database
- If you see no errors display, you should be good. If you want to be sure, head over to your PHPMyAdmin and verify that the
collections,following,mail, andwatch_latertables have been deleted; thecategoriestable has been added; and click on a few videos to make sure that everything is loading as expected, and if a video has no chapters, it should now display "The OpusCreator has opted to not display any chapters for this video". - Effectivly you are done at this point.
With the update from CV1.0B1 to CV1.0B2 we have made big changes to the "Music Credit" formating and can't properly update the format through an automatic code. With this, you will have to rather ask your OpusCreator to update the "Music Credit" formating of their videos or you go in and update them. In addition, if you made any changes to any files, you will need to recode those files. If you had a custom font you will need to reimport that in the CSS settings, and the database CSS settings found at "Dashboard" > “Administration +” > “CSS Settings”.
If you run into any errors while running the upgrade script. Please check the database and script changes as listed in Upgrade (Part 2). If there is missformating of any type from that step, please go to your database and drop all the tables under your database name. Once dropped, please import your backed up sql file and rerun the upgrade script at Root.Domain/controllers/database/upgrade.database. If you are still having issues, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@devlexicon.ca.
Please note that at this time there is no way of checking to make sure you have the latest version of OpusVid. So please follow us on Twitter or check back here on GitHub. Or you can follow our Discord Server for updates and community help with issues you may run into.
Also note that any changes made the files within OpusVid are subject to change and loss during updating.
