There's an option for this.

The video thumbnails aren't showing (or being created).

I've followed all the instructions, done all the CHMODs, and everything else works fine.

[jiffylb1]

just awsome I love this feature just awoke my members..I would like to know if you cna add the button add anoth video as soon as you have uploaded a video . Becuase you end up seeing the last video you uploaded but then you have to click to categorie again to upload another video. also is there a way to get latest video upload image to portal home page to tell members there is a new video uploaded.

I got this installed but where/how do I and my members add videos?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. The button wasnt showing up because I didnt upload the image to my skins directory.

Hello Surviver,

This is a fantastic add-on. I voted it for MOTM and already installed it on one of the sites I'm working.

I have a small suggestion.

Can you develop a search function based on username, so when someone clicks on username on videos page, it will actually display that user's videos instead of his profile.

Or maybe you can make a new feature that when clicking the username it will actually display a new tab on User Profile page, with his videos.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

please, is there any way this could be implemented to play videos from justin.tv
