Hi Kulbir.

We have noticed the following appearing in the videocache logs over the last few months:

Checking the squid access.log confirms the client received the flv video correctly, but when videocache attempts to grab the flv itself, the URL is invalid:

1299304060.167 120 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/403 368 GET http://v3.lscache5.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%... - DIRECT/203.217.23.22 text/plain
1299304061.080 3163 10.100.0.248 TCP_MISS/200 907809 GET http://v13.lscache6.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip... - DIRECT/203.217.23.18 video/x-flv

We are currently running Videocache 1.9.7 with Squid 3.1.11 on CentOS 5.5.

Hello,

I see that videocache is also going via the proxy server itself. Please change proxy option to none if your proxy server can directly connect to internet. That'll help fix the issue.

Thank You!
