After Installing ClipBucket, your first step is to login in Admin Panel
access admin panel by
http://your-website.com/admin_area

Your default admin user and pass is
user : admin
pass : admin

this default admin is SuperAdmin,

SuperAdmin
Superamdin is the admin of the admins, it neither be created nor deleted, you can only change its username and password.
Superadmin is limited to admin area, the main purpose of Superadmin is to control Admins of the website

After logging in, you have to create an Admin for the website throught which you can access te admin panel as well as the frontend website

to create an admin , goto
Admin Panel -> User Management -> Add Member -> Put all the information and set its LEVEL TO ADMIN

after successfully creating an admin for the website, logout from your super admin and login though your newly created admin

Now you have to set the Module paths, goto
Admin Panel -> Website Setting -> Paths

NOTE: IF YOU KNOW FFMPEG AND FLVTOOL2 PATH, PLEASE USE DYNAMIC ENCODER otherwiste use STATIC ENCODER and leave the fields blank (Please read the static encoder installation in next post)

Now Put Paths of the required modules.

Note : if you are using dynamic encoder, you can check your FFMPEG by clicking on "check" next to its field

You website is now ready to go , now upload a test video and check if everything is working fine or not, pleas keep yourself up to date for further updates.

NOTE: Dynamic Encoders are better then static as they take less CPU usage then static, but on some hosts, encoders are not installed properly so using static encoders will be helpful. Make sure you host allows you to use these encoders otherwise we take no responsibility if you get banned by your host

FFMPEG Static Encoder comes with ClipBucket Download Packate

Just upload the "modules" folder in your Clipbucket root directory and CHMOD the encoder ie /modules/encoders/ffmpeg to 755 or 777

now select "Static" encoder from the admin panel
Website Settings -> Paths > Encoder

To install new language,
download the language pack from http://clip-bucket.com/downloads/
and upload it in the root directory of the clipbucket where index.php file is placed.
