Do you plan on integrating the possibility of uploading videos as well like the original SE plugin? Would be a great combo/feature of allowing the admin to decide whether or not users may upload to the server as well.
Direct Upload to you youtube will be coming once we finish polishing this initial version
I think what HK meant, was to integrate your plugin along side the video plugin offered by Social Engine, so that a user would have an option of uploading a video, or embedding a video from a popular service. That would be kick ass, and that is what PHP fox already offers.
Is there any demo to see it in action?
Is the plugin i have been waiting for. Now we can add videos without a expensive hosting service.
Thanks a lot

Hey this bug has been fixed and we will be releasing a global update to everyone in a couple days at most.
I see how it work and it´s want i need. The problem is that i can signup because of the secury code that is not shown.
thanks a lot and congrats for the plugin
This has been fixed. The problem was parsing the url with the extra tags at the end so those are stripped in the most recent version.
Is this ready for 3.07?
Yep and directory URLs as well.
Great buddy! Just bought it. Thanks a lot.
I Can’t WAIT FOR IT!
I can’t wait for this to work on 3.07!!!!
Looks very cool!
I am interested in your plugin. I run SE v3.07 and use friendly urls. When you get it ready, as mentioned above, give me a shout and I will purchase.
If you guys have made it this far … adding a RSS video feed would bring this plugin to a new level for both user and community
You have done an excellent job at first sight. Could you provide a simple demo? If it works as advertised you have a customer. Please consider creating a business directory of job board plugin.
Hey well after some initial purchases, we realized that we need to add support for directory friendly urls and ensure its compatible with se v3.07. Once we crank out this plugin, the job board will follow
hi, I’m using the directory url and I would like to buy your plugin. Please drop me a mail if it’s ready
Good job bryan!
Great idea bro. I love it…I am sure going to buy it however can you put categories on this? Thanks
The blog or plugin lol? Working on doing that for the plugin right now actually. Making it where the admin can specify categories in the back end and users then choose one when they import a video.
Also plan on making use of the tags but thats next on the todo. Basically this initial release lays the foundation for a whole bunch of features so theres more to come
Minor upgrades like this will be free btw for anyone with the initial release.
Hmm..do not like blog plug in that much. They really need to augment this a bit more. However like your plug in. Looks great!
