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 chmod 777 the videothumbnails and videoserviceapi...did I miss something else?
Need help after server transfer. The thumbnails are not showing up.
Together with server transfer there was upgrade from php4 to php5, mysql 4 to mysql 5, etc.
Should I re-install the mod? Will the existing listing of videos disappear?
Kindly advise.
Please enter a folder, to which the thumbnails should be stored (Please no shlash (/) at the begining or the end)Sounds like your path to the thumbnails folder as changed.
Can you add these features? This is a HUGE deal for my forum. People will be commenting on it and expecting to receive vbcredits.
I agree, i'd like it so when a post is created in the video directory it also creates a new thread in the video directory forum.also comments made to the video are also added to the thread..
As is stands members don't know if a new video as been added without going into the video directory itself,which kind of takes them away from whats going on elsewhere..Plus i would say that maybe thats a solution to your problem dancue.
First of all I want to say thanks, this is a great addon.
I have a pretty simple question: What do I need to change the layout from the acutual (as the played video is shown the whole width of the forum) to the former version from Surviver like in the attachment.
Would be glad if someone could provide the code and whatever is necessary. Thanks
