You have to write a php class file for this.

The response of the video-server can't be read.

Maybe your hoster blocksa the connection to the video hoster.

Hey Surviver..... I skimmed most of the pages, 14 already and Bravo for the support but did not see this already... Is there a possibility this might work w/ 3.6.8? I wanted to ask before I attempted on my mod/hack test forum

Thanks!

Don't worry about my comment, once I set the permissons to the sub folder of the videothumbnails folder, the error went away.

Oh, and I can see a few spelling mistakes, want any help correcting them?

I don't know a reason why it shouldn't work - but never tested

I think I've found and fixed all the errors. First of all, search 'alltogether', and replace the results that come up with 'Total [categories/videos]'. Then, I'll get a list in the next post.

[cheat-master30]

Here's the full list of corrections. Replace the phrases bolded with what's under 'New Content':

are_you_sure_want_to_delete_videocategory_x

New Content:

Are you sure you want to delete '{1}' permanently?<br />
({2}: {3})<br /><br />
This action cannot be reversed, so think twice before proceeding.

This is just i wanna know. I don't know how to write it. Can you tell every step of adding a new hoster ? I am from Turkey and as you know youtube is closed from TurkTelekom to Turkish Dnsses so my users can't view the movies that's why i am asking to add another hoster.
