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.

Never mind it has resolved itself. It appears videos that are very recently added to youtube will display that error via this addon. So make sure the video that you are trying to add is well and truly processed on youtube.
So, why does the screen look like where the video is on top of the navigation + details column but we install it and it shows to the right of the navigation? How to get it show like image?
Yes, that's for the side navigation. It changes it to right and left. I don't want to do that. When you view the video, like the image above, the VIDEO shows on TOP of the Navigation and details Column.
What I have is the Video is on the SIDE (right or left depending on the settings you choose of course) of the navigation. Example of what I have:
I want video to be on TOP of navigation and details column like the screenshot by developer.

It depends on the width of your forum vs the width of the video: http://www.cogonline.net/forums/vide...ils&videoid=29. My skin is just a little narrow, so it pushes it under. In Jaxel's example, that's an HD video, so it takes up the whole width.
The smaller width (moves into outer border), 650 px and the larger width, 1,000 px (extra space on left and right of video player) shows the same exact locations of the video player. It shows up same for vB default too.
@DJ, what's causing the Video Detail box to be so wide? Try to either disable the embed code box and see if it shorten? Or template edit it to be smaller?

Simply my skin is too narrow for the default width of the modification. I'm going to widen it soon as I make a wider banner, as this I've run into this issue with more than one modification.
