There is only a one sidebar on the left side.

If there are not videos displayed in the middle column, check your settings.

Ultimate wish list #1

xml for Google Video

I had a look, but was struggling to find the API ....

I installed the vid directory and I love it but I cannot figure out how to set up The forum homepage for a sidebox to show the videos.

Is there a good hack that someone can recommend?

What if you want to use this to host your own videos? I already do this but post them in a forum and would like to use this instead.

I have my own flash video player on the site, and upload the videos myself.

It'?s not able to host your own videos with this mod without a rewrite of the code.

Damn...I thought I almost made an XML for my own site after looking at the metacafe one and changing things around. I'm not that code incompetent but can't make things from scratch. I changed the embed code to my information, and the regex to fit my site. Just couldn't make it work. Oh well, I need to find something similar to this then that will work.
