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.

I have corrected the rewrite rukles for the ext release.

@CSS-Problem: This seems to be a vBSEO Problem. vBSEO should not rewrite the acp, if it does, this happens. But i can't coonfirm that on my local dev forum.

ANd i can't explain how to add godtube. Only general instructions:
Create the PHP Class like class_youtube for this hoster, and than you have to add it via the ACP in Debug Mode.

Anyone know how to get godtube.com added? I'm not a programmer.

I'm willing to pay someone $25 if they can do this for me please. You'll need to prove that its working on your forum (show me a live video) before you get.

Thanks.

Is this downloading the clip to my host or just storing data, curiouse if it is taking up space?

Also need a way to check video's before they go public?

A few quick questions:

1. This is like a video gallery thing, correct? Because I've been looking for one of these for quite some time.

2. Does it work with PHP and MYSQl 5?

3. Does it work with vBulletin 3.8?

No, the clips are not stored locally, only the thumbnails.

A moderation queue is planned for 1.2.0.

3.) I don't know, but i think it wiill (95% ) - I'll try it tomorrow, after i've updated my forum to 3.8

Can the "add video" page include a list of categories to add it to, instead of you already having to be inside a category?
