Import Video from URL for vShare 2.1 Release: 20070625

[Hoss]

Hi there - I finally got around to upgrading my site.
Thanx for all of the bug fixes admin.

However I am confused - does the new 'Import Video' link actually suck the whole vid down from a url like http://youtube.com/watch?v=fVM3vMylehA

or is there a necessity to upload via ftp and then convert?
If I try a direct suckdown (technical term) all I get is the error message: Invalid Video Format. Allowed file types are :
And nothing else.
Can anyone who's got it working enlighten me.

Cheers

Present version only allow download if the file have a valid extension. Some of the youtube video have .flv file extension, not all.

if you try this one, you will see a very well developed version of fetching video from other sites like youtube.

Can we expect something like this?

http://www.videohome.org/videos/task,addlinkfront/

just add the whole url link of a youtube video (for example)


and the server do the rest.

I can't access the site, tried with proxy. It seems site is down. Are you able to access ?

No it's not. "Stack overflow" errors on every link except the one to the video that tells you how to upload video. Nothing there works.
