A bit of a disappointment on some of the mods available. Many are untested to run on the vshare set up unless displayed on the index page or on a new page. The flash scripts make is so the page must display from the root directory. They wont run on the video view pages without significant alteration to the scripting.
VShare displays video with a shadow folder (View) as part of the url and this significantly inhibits the placement of script that will actually function in all parts of vShare..
The included instructions given by ALL mod developers is wholefully inadequate and boarders on the inept and incompedent. the instructions given are misleading, gappy, and can NOT be considered worthy of the term "Guide". The included READ ME's are little more that a "don't blame me if they don't work". the whole attitude of some of the mod developers is questionable as they fail to deliver a service after taking funds from individuals.
I have even asked HostOnNet to interpret the instructions given by one well known Mod developer for a player and they couldn't.
I recently purchased a group of Mods as a package - what a waste. They have been withdrawn - they needed vshare testing!
The mods offered that do work are the roller and the newscast - both on the index page. A seperate delete admin mod in inaccurate and fails to remove all video.
Both the main Mod developers requested full site access to get scripts to function - DENIED. While these offers may be of good intention they should never be given for security reasons.
My thoughts:
1. I would expect all Mods to be fully tested on a vShare system set up BEFORE being offered on this forum or for sale.
2. I would expect the user installation instructions to be logically laid out and easily replicated by a beta tester(s).
3. Finally i would like to see beta tester reports on ALL mods offered on the forum - with comments and such - proof of functionality.
A simple request to Mod developers - get your act together and we'll support you. Sell us crap and we'll dump on you!
Galnet and JesusTV please take note.
