Description:

This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.

Any chance of limiting this by usergroup?

I don't want everyone to be able to start posting, just those we trust.

I too seem to be having the same difficulty as the previous posters said. I've read every post here on this subject but haven't found an answere as of yet. So, is the following the proper and all of the steps for importing the xml file and thus making the mod work:

Admin Control Panel > Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin > product-passivevid.xml

Or is there another step I'm missing here or is this not the correct method at all to use to import the file? I did go to vB HELP tutorials Adding a Product and After an Import and scanned over a few other pages in the online manual but to no avail. I saw something about ImpEx but I'm not sure if any of that talk applies here and besides I have nothing in my CtrlPnl resembling that term.

Is there supposed to be a new icon or some other item on the Editor menu somewhere? At this point I'm not sure this is installed properly or not. If so, how would I know?

Edit: Disregard above post. All is well - it is working afterall.

@ Coders Shack
GREAT ! This is what I was searching for a long time ! :-) Wonderful

Can you also add break.com and shoutfile.com ?

Are you also able to add some of the biggest german Videoportals to your script ?
myvideo.de
clipfish.de
sevenload.de

This will be excellent :-)

Very simple to install and very easy to use. I really like this mod. Only tested with youtube though and not any of the others.

Thanks!
