Chris is right. I second it.

BTW, The installation was very smooth. I like it.
Nominated for MOTM.

Few more video hosters like metacafe, dailymotion, etc. would be nice.

I put it so that this mod could be used in my root directory, and not my forums directory and everything works fine, however, all of the cetagories I create or edit have "/forums/" in the url. Since I also have the fiile uploaded in my forums directory, it shows up fine, but I would like to know where I could edit it so that the categories don't have the forums part at all.

Thanks. When a user is watching a video, or anywhere in the videos section, their activity in ther profile isn't displayed. It just says the time they were last active. How do we get it to say "Watching a Video" or something?
