Works in Firefox, but not IE.

Try this:

seaerch for (in video.php):
$xml->add_tag('source', $hostername, array('url' => $videourl));
replace with:
$xml->add_tag('source', $hostername, array('url' => htmlspecialchars_uni($videourl)));

Hello Surviver,

I know you've been blasted by many feature requests.

I thought of adding one.

Can you please make a vBAdvanced module to show latest X videos on homepage.

Something similar to Latest Pictures module here.

Thanks for your great work.

The hooks for the navbar only work if the navbar remains in the navigation templates. On one I my skins, I moved the navbar to the header templates, and the navbar hooks stop working. You must manually add them in that case.

i uninstalled it, and re install it, but it did not take me to install next next pages..

[Surviver]

This will only happen at the first install. But why you don't import the hostere manually?
