I second that, only to keep the adult videos from being displayed... haven't noticed any myself as of yet, but lord I'd hate to have a member stumble across one.

Template VIDEO_SHELL or header.



What exactly do you mean?

Thank you, that solved my request! Again, kudos on an excellent mod!

That has nothing to do with this hack - we use the default YouTube player - you'd have ro ask youtube.com

I'm sure you can find it free online somewhere. This site has one for $5 dollars: http://www.phpfoxscripts.com/index.php If I had the change on my card this hour I would get it for you.

If he thinks he can make it work, ill buy it for him.

Does this generate unique URLs depending on the site the video was harvested from? For example, YouTube videos have a word or phrase in the URL that MetaCafe doesn't and visa versa. If so, I'd like to add support for this into the AME XML add-ons. It depends on the URLs being unique. But I wanted to check first before installing and going through all those motions.

Thanks, but that's not able - i couldn't include this in the package, because it's not free.
I'd need code which i may include in the package (with codechanged, don't know, if that's required)

No, the unique URLS are depending on an automatically via SQL generated ID
