Problems with users uploading videos getting "Invalid URL"

**bouncdchk** · 12-28-2008, 04:43 AM

I've set everything up and it appears to all work if I add videos from the admin side but I'm getting "Invalid URL" from the user side when trying to add something that isn't on youtube.

I've tried added videos from RedTube.Com (Please note redtube is an ADULT site) and also another adult site that I run and in both cases I get Invalid URL.

Is there something that prevents you from adding from anyone but the sites listed under the upload url box?

Thanks.

vShare is only coded to work with a small group of large video sites (such as YouTube, Meta Cafe, etc). Currently, vShare does not allow for direct linking to any adult tube sites.

well that totally ruins the reason I even purchased it.

Any ideas when it'll do more?

Are you wanting for people to be able to link to third-party adult tube sites? Or, are you just looking for a way to populate your tube site with links from other tube sites? Currently, there is no time frame as to when the next version of vShare will be released so we do not know if or when native support for other tube sites will be added to vShare.

Well, I've found the way for me to link to other sites through embedding on the admin side but I want users to be able to link to other tube sites just like they can link to youtube.

I want the users to be able to link to other adult tube sites as well.

Ah. Well, from the user side, there is no way to do it currently, sorry. Not sure as to when that will be added in. One thing to note, however, is that linking videos like that (embedding videos) violates most tube site's terms of service. For about 99% of tube sites (including most adult tube sites and sites like YouTube and Metacafe), you are not permitted to link their videos from other tube sites.
