This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.
What is this mod?
This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.
Basic Feature Listing:
Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.
NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.
Upgrade Procedure:
Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.
NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

I know this one isn't supported any more, but I found that this add-on is conflicting with one I just installed. I was told by that developer:
Quote:
Additionally, the "Cannot redeclare handle_bbcode_video()" function is not an error with vBShout, it's with the [VIDEO] mod you have installed.
You need to contact the author of that mod and tell them this:
You need to wrap the handle_bbcode_video() function declaration in a if (!function_exists('handle_bbcode_video')) check.
Any idea where this would be in the Video Directory code?
Once I disabled Video Directory, the error went away, so I'm sure this is the add-on with the problem.
So i got this db error today, & im wondering if what i think is the issue is correct.
Currently i am using this mod but at media.php So this error is not from it, but was the old version not uninstalled correctly.? (i'm guessing it was called video.php)
Code:
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_video' in 'field list'

Pretty sure thats why, but wanted to get confirmation.
Also i guess i need to uninstall more of the old product.?
the issue I have noticed is that the URL for loading videos for example in youtube is https and not http. I removed the s and it works just fine. Need a work around for the https url line.
Can someone let me know how to change the thumbnail size for the category pages and recent video pages?
Use the Firefox plug: "Firebug", using this, you will find all the page variables and search it in the templates,, 4ex: You must find the widht of the video thumnails in the templates,, put the number and them you will fin the template to edit it.
