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.

2 Bugs I Found on the Comments System (I've done this on FireFox):
1. When a Comment is made the Ajax Works but the "Save Comment" Button is Turned Off.
2. When Trying to Delete a Comment the Page Stays Thinking and Blocked; I has to Close the Window and Open it Agan and the Video Comment weren't Deleted; I tried also to Open the Delete Comment Link in a New Window and it Shows the Video but Doesn't Delete the Comment.
For Now I Have the Comment System Turned Off for Users for this Bugs and also for what I mentioned Early Jaxel, is Impossible to Moderate the Comments if there is No Way to List them and Review the Latest Ones.
I Hope you can Correct the Bugs and also Provide the way to List and Review the Comments to be able to Moderate them; Imagine SPAMMERS Posting Comments that the Admins Won't be Able to Locate and Delete.
My Best Regards.

Did this manually but it would be nice to have options.
I Confirm that. Please how can i disable the comments system?

You Can Disallow Usergroups to Post Comments on the Usergroup Permissions.
I Hope Jaxel can Correct the Bug and also Provide the Way to List and Moderate the Comments; Imagine that a Board have 500 Videos and a Porno-SPAMMER Posts 50 Comments with Porno Links on your Videos; how can the Admin Locate the Latest Posted Comments to Delete the Ones that Contain SPAM? Right Now is Not Possible, the Admin would have to review ALL the Videos wich is Not Possible, (imagine 1,000 or more Videos).
Now Jaxel, it'd also be Important to Have a Link to Delete the Comment on the Comments List to be able to Fast-Delete the Comment (not to have to Browse to the Video, Locate the Comment and Delete it), and also that on the Mod's Options we can Determine how many Comments to List Per Page (20, 50, etc).
I Think this Improvement is Very Important for your Next Update and also the Corrections to the Bugs.
For Now I Have the Comments System Disabled until they can be Controled and Moderated, right now is a Great Window for SPAMMERS to Fest and don't be Caught.
Ok... i managed to return to old good working version 1.2.4 until the bugs fixed. Thanks
edit: and now the ADD BUTTON is complete dissapeared Please someone HELP
Did You Reverted the Mod's Templates? Perhaps You Edited the Templates and the Changes are not being Applied on the Previous Versions of the Templates.
