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.

@Penchaan... thank you for that... I looked at it and IMMEDIATELY knew what the problem was for new installers. What it is, the first time you install the script, it creates default categories. I never setup a "level" field for these default categories. It wasn't an issue for upgraders, because the script never tried to install those default categories. Has been fixed in version 1.1.4.5, now available for download.
With version 1.1.4.5, there shouldn't be any errors during the install script.
Thanks for the update Jaxel.
Installed.

@ArnyVee, Sensimilla... not being able to edit lengths of videos is BY DESIGN. You don't want people setting incorrect times and what not. Especially when the timecode must be put in by SECONDS, and people may try to put them in methods like 1:30, instead of 90. In order to edit the timelengths of existing videos, you must do it directly in your database.
Can someone give me a tip as to how to do this? I'm sure it's something simple, but I haven't done it before.
Last night the thumbnails were not having any issues, but this morning I can't get any thumbnails to show. Keep in mind, I have vBSEO....but, I have the .htaccess file in the thumbnail directory with the rewrite engine off, so it should be working.
