I am very thrilled about the new video features in LDM. How do I change the video entries that I have in my LDM so that they'll be played in LDM, instead of linking to youtube, etc?

Edit: I did install the Flash-Sites plug in BTW. And a few work.

The plugin is coded to require a certain form of url, as explained in the 'readme.txt'. Usually, these are the url's for the main pages in which the flash video plays - the plugin's job is to patch these so that the correct player is constructed. This is the format expected for each of the sites:

- DailyMotion (url's of the form http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/XXXXX )
- Google video (url's of the form http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=NNNNN )
- IFilm (url's of the form http://www.ifilm.com/video/NNNNN )
- MetaCafe (url's of the form http://www.metacafe.com/watch/NNNNN )
- MySpace (url's of the form http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...videoid=NNNNNN )
- PutFile (url's of the form http://media.putfile.com/XXX )
- Sharkle (url's of the form http://www.sharkle.com/video/NNNNNN )
- StreetFire (url's of the form http://videos.streetfire.net/video/X...XXXXXXXXXX.htm )
- ThatVideoSite (url's of the form http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/NNNN )
- Veoh (url's of the form http://www.veoh.com/videos/NNNNNN )
- Vidiac (url's of the form http://www.vidiac.com/.../XXXXXXXX-X...XXXXXXXXXX.htm )
- VSocial (url's of the form http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=NNNNN )
- YouTube (url's of the form http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNNNN )

So to convert your existing links, just rewrite them in the appropriate form
