Hello.
I have a problem installing this mod.
All files were uploaded following structure.
CHMOD was done on the 2 dirs. to 777.
I then did the import of videodirectory.xml.
your instructions say to not close out after installing but I received a warning message:

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/class_dm_videocategory.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 118

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/goldrace/public_html/forum/includes/class_dm_videocategory.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/goldrace/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 118

Trying to re run the import I now get this message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.3:

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE video (
videoid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
title varchar(255) NOT NULL,
description mediumtext NOT NULL,
videourl varchar(255) NOT NULL,
videocategoryid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
dateline int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
userid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
videoservice varchar(250) NOT NULL,
videoidservice varchar(250) NOT NULL,
views int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (videoid)
);

MySQL Error : Table 'video' already exists
Error Number : 1050

Is there a possibility that some files are not loaded in the proper location?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

How do I get the video Thumbnails to show? I only have empty placeholders showing up on my site www.tjsdjs.com/forums/video.php. How do I fix?

TJsDJs,

Is your thumbnails directory and sub-directories all CHMOD777?

Is this working on 3.8 ?

Hi,

Is there a way to have the "Add Video" Button show on the video landing page, rather than from within categories? Its potentially confusing to have to go to categories before users could add videos.

Better still, is it possible to get rid of categories?

What part of the template do I edit to fix the path it is supposed to upload the video onto my site.... also when you try to "load information from server" for the you tube video...it just acts like it does and doesnt at all.... I have uninstalled this and reinstalled this program 3 times now....not sure what is up

still not working on my site, will not upload information from you tube on the video, and when you try and upload the video onto your site says page doesnt exist.


There is an error in this mod, the url for the "add video" to upload it onto your site the url path isnt right, no www. in it and only written half way.

I went to the template and added the beginning url and still no luck:
