Depending upon if you are using a custom style or not, and depending upon how that style was coded, you may need to put the replacement as a "header" replacement instead of a "navbar" replacement.

The link in the navigation bar goes to www.ninty.gr/video.php and not to www.ninty.gr/forum/video.php which is the correct adress
That happens only to the front page of my site ,in all other pages ,it has the correct link
I have added the video.php link to the list from vba panel but still nothing!
Any help??
Thanks in advance

ps. my site is www.ninty.gr

I've just got a fix for this, it helped for me.

Open navbar_videolink template

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="video.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[video_directory]</a></td>

and replace to:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="/forum/video.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[video_directory]</a></td>

were: /forum/ is the location of your forum in case you use a different one

It worked for me, I hope it may help you.

I tried my first YouTubeHD and had a thumbnail issue. It was because I had to create a folder called YouTubeHD in the site.com/videothumbnails/ folder and chmod it to 777.

What a coincidence, I was just trying my first HD one as well. And, I got this message ....

Warning: fopen([path]/videothumbnails/YouTubeHD/xA9RIn2MNDk.jpg) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/videoserviceapi/class_youtubehd.php on line 84

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in [path]/includes/videoserviceapi/class_youtubehd.php on line 85

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in [path]/includes/videoserviceapi/class_youtubehd.php on line 86

So, I'm going to go ahead and add the folder and make sure that was the only issue.

Edited: Worked. Thanks TriMe

Just for anyone's information. I use 3.7 Beta 4. I changed the minimum version in the .xml file and it installed flawlessly and works great.

The only bug I have is no ACP links. But, I seen there was a video.php in the admincp folder and called it up. No problems.

If you don't want to wait for the next release, you can use the attached XML File!

Survivor... the settings classes for videohoster XML files dont work... it gives an error in admincp/video.php

TriMe... I know what the problem is with your thumbnails not showing... send me a PM on AIM if you can.
