All solve..
Actually in instructions what surviver wrote :; confusing me, also confusing the others like me LOL..

2) Set the CHMOD of the dirs videothumbnails (and subfoloders) and includes/videoserviceapi dir to 777.

Here we were getting confused .. and I only set CHMOD for includes/videoserviceapi dir.. and I forgot to change the permission of videothumbnails folders...

---- The error is also appears because most of the users are only changing the permission of main directory not for the all sub files in the mentioned folders...
---------
I have installed and now It is working 100% perfect for me..

If you get a blank page after install:

Try to reupload teh files vide.php and includes/class_dm_video.php.

<font size="3">For all who get the error "cannot redeclare ...."</font>

Reupload the attached files to the includes/videosharingapi dir and override the existing ones.

Then it should work.

This Bug is fixed in the next Release.

When adding a comment to a video all members get the following error >

The entered comment is too short. You have entered 0 characters, there are 1 necessary.

I have the settings correct, and the comment will post upon a refresh.

Also:

Made changes to all the NONE English phrases and error messages you left in and now I can't post videos, all I get is the Invalid URL message.

This is a brilliant idea Surviver. Great work.

Just some questions:

- can you please add support for godtube.com ?
- can the video submissions be automatically placed in moderation queue per usergroup?

Thanks.

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

Is the message I get every time I try to submit a YouTube video. I can't read German (Or whatever most of this is in) so I don't know if I am missing something. I have CHMOD'd all files and directories, reinstalled the 'hoster' , etc. Please help.
