This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.
What is this mod?
This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support YouTube and YouTubeHD; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo, Sevenload and Metacafe scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.
