Any idea when a tagging system would be in place? If we cant do tagging, then can we add videos to multiple categories? I so Soulcalibur match videos on my website, and I want to either be able to tag character usage in the videos, or create categories for each character and have them all selected.

The tag system is planned for version 1.2.0 - but 1.2.0 will be finished earliest in some months - i haven't begun developing on it yet, and i don't know, when i'll begin with it (At first I want to release 1.1.0 final ).

It will not be possible to add one video into multiple categories (because of the database structure of this mod).

Can you maybe make the next version so it works with Dailymotion, Myspace, Google Video and Veoh? Just asking, because I've currently got BB codes for all them on my forum, and it'd be nice if they also worked with this mod.

If they have an api, that should not be a problem.

Else ist very hard to integrate them.

The thumbnails aren't being created for me: http://www.thegpguild.com/video.php

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any ideas?

Is there anyway you could add a visible button to "ADD YOUR VIDEO"?

It's so hard for people to find that tiny little "Add Video" tab.

Great program, just want more of my members to use it.

Yeah, you have to go into a category, then there'll be a button "Add Video" (Did you set the permissions?)

Did you set the directory chmod? (777)?
