I traced it to the vbseo code you provided causing that error

//==========================================================================

// Video Directory

//==========================================================================

'video.php?do=viewdetails&categoryid=(d+)&categorytitle=(.*)&videoid=(d+)&videotitle=(.*)'=>'videos/$2-$1/$4-$3.html'
'video.php?do=viewcategory&categoryid=(d+)&categorytitle=(.*)&page=(d+)'=>'videos/$2-$1/$3/'
'video.php?do=viewcategory&categoryid=(d+)&categorytitle=(.*)'=>'videos/$2-$1/'
'video.php'=>'videos/'

removed that vbseo code, admin links work fine.

The other problems
- blank video list on main page
- domain name in the color icon, inside toolbar? This happens only in this mod, not global elsewhere

I chmodded all folders/sub-folders/files exactly as explained in the readme file.

@@vBSEO: Maybe this is a compatibilit yproblem with anothe rhack - i don't know.
@blank video page: Just look into the settings
@Editor-Problem: I can't confirm, i just use the editor like each other mod too

@blank video page: Just look into the settings

I don't understand. There is practically no setting options that has anything to do with the main page or such.

these dont work

As said: Maybe a compatibility problem with another hack. I can't say. Bute the CRR are very simple, i don't know where there should be a problem ...
Maybe you should ask the vBSEO Support.

You can add a video hoster vi the acp.

You have to write a class for this hoster, and then you can simply add it via the acp. You might have a look at class_youtube.php in the includes/videoserviveapi-dir

[Konstantinos]

'video\.php\?do=viewdetails&categoryid=(\d+)&categ orytitle=(.*)&videoid=(\d+)&vi deotitle=(.*)'=>'videos/$2-$1/$4-$3.html'
'video\.php\?do=viewcategory&categoryid=(\d+)&cate gorytitle=(.*)&page=(\d+)'=>'v ideos/$2-$1/$3/'
'video\.php\?do=viewcategory&categoryid=(\d+)&cate gorytitle=(.*)'=>'videos/$2-$1/'
'video\.php'=>'videos/'

these are the correct ones

tried that, the message to add the code to vbseo in admincp > options > video directory is finally gone, but it still affects the style (css) inside the admincp > video links (all 4)

Certain links do not work also such as "import video hoster"

See screenshot examples

Also, can you please explain how to add godtube.com? Thanks.
