No... if I paste the same link on Firefox's address bar then the video play okay. I don't think I have it blocked anywhere. Hmmmmm. I'd love to have this working. Any other suggestion, Surviver? Thanks a lots for your help.

Cheers,

SS

Not at the moment.

The error-mesage sais, that no connection to the video hoster could be etablished.

This must be the same in ie, ff and opera, because the conntection is done on the server's side.

I have had this at www.nwime.com/forum for a few days now and it is totally one of the best mods that I have had!

Awesome work and I hope to see updates in the future!

I am nominating this for Mod of the Month!

[Super Jinni]

thanks man

Great MOD! One of the best... Can I suggest a new feature? RSS function of latest uploaded video (if you can also random one). So we can show these video in other web site pages!
