This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.
What is this mod?
This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.
Basic Feature Listing:
Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.
NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.
Upgrade Procedure:
Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.
NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

Is there a way to get this mod to download the videos and store them locally in case the remote site deletes the video in the future?
No, this is not any kind of downloader. This just duplicates the sites' embed code in a forum directory.

Thanks in advance for answers
1. You'd have to make your own hosting XML, which would require some coding knowledge.
2. There are already mods on this site for that. Just do a search for video directory.

Hello, I was wondering if with this mod you can add your own videos ? Let's say uploading them to your server for instance. I have a collection of videos I want to make available to my members. If not I would like to create and xml hoster script for my own video page @ http://aniworlds.net/videochannel . I do have it to allow other sites to embed and link my videos but have no idea where to begin to start the xml. Any idea or feedback with this issue wold be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. And may I say my members cold not live without this mod, Im expanding my website to include more a youtube interface but the video directory will still remain as an archive. Please help.

It almost sounds like your missing files. And are you sure you ran the last upgrade, because that fixed the thumbnails for me. Also, make sure you ran the troubleshooting tip. Also, too, and furthermore, your directory is blocked from guest viewing.
