This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

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.
  • Category profiles for videos.
  • Contribution profiles for users.
  • Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
  • Built in comment system for videos.
  • Search function for titles and descriptions.
  • RSS feed of videos.
Product Demo:
http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php
Installation Procedure:
  1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
  2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
  3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
  4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
  5. 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:
  1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
  2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
  3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
  4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
  5. 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.
Roadmap for the Future:
  • Moderation
  • Favorites
  • Playlists
Don't forget to click INSTALL!

- playlists/favourites
Aaa one step at a time! What I will be doing first is making a new importable hoster file that you will upload to your includes/xml folder. This new hoster file will allow you to import swf or flv files. You will have to create your own thumbnail file as well. The title and description fields as well as tags will have to be all entered manually.

I will have this hoster file ready in a couple of weeks.

This hoster file will need to be edited before it is uploaded. You will need to input your server info to where you have created a video folder where all your ftp uploads must be stored.

Next step I agree an embed code hoster would be great. But like I said first I have to code what I need the most and that is self hosted videos.

Does the usergroup permission works fine with you guys?
I tried to set usergroup permission for "unregistered" to "view video only" but they are still able to view video details.

Another dumb question - I want to rename the title of the navbar link from 'Video Directory' to something else. Which file is that title located in so I can edit it?

Thanks in advance - way cool mod....

I am surprised, given how cool a mod this is and how long it's been around, that a couple of basic issues haven't been addressed.

First of all, no matter what I do (and I'm not alone - there must be at least 5 other references to this issue in this thread), I cannot get member avatars to show with comments. Don't tell me again to create a folder, etc...none of that has worked. I'm on 3.8 btw... There's clearly something wrong in terms of having the standard member avatars show with comments. If anyone has clear directions on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated! Seeing that stupid '?' in place of a great avatar just doesn't cut it

Secondly, maybe I'm just ignorant, but I cannot figure out how to add a hoster. Even where, as with Veoh, an xml file is provided, there are no instructions anywhere I can see as to what to do with it and how to 'add' a video site.

Finally, why can we not add an image or banner to the custom text atop the Video Directory - other bb codes work but the image tags will not. That's just strange?

This is a great mod - I'm not unappreciative - but it could be so much better if the the mod-creator (or someone else that's knowledgeable) would jump in and provide some help. There are way too many questions in this thread that have been asked over and over with no good solutions. Come on people - this mod could be money with a little help!

You have to go to a category to see the clickable link to add a video (the first category is 'General' until you create more).
