videocache-1.8 creates local file without flv extension

yes... the extension is gone...
but when i try reopen my last video, it's work...

Thats true. Extension is gone. Now we save the video id itself. Because in future I am planning to support more formats so appending .flv sounds unnecessary :)

Its normal behavior. No need to panic.

Thank you for using videocache!

Kulbir: thanks for the explanation! If I remove the flv extension from older cached videos, then they will be delivered locally again and won't be duplicated... right? thanks!

Kulbir,

I migrated from 1.7 to 1.8, removing .flv extension for cached videos.

However, I don't like very much because IExplorer can't identify the files at webserver page. It thinks they are text.

Up to know I just clicked and played the file with VLC.

Any idea to correctly identify the files with the browser?

Kulbir,

I think this is not browser related. With FireFox I have to decide for each video which program to use to open it.

I think this is desktop related. Windows desktop needs to know the extension file. I worked not to much with other desktops but I think KDE it is a similar case.

Perhaps it is better for the cache not to have extensions. Squid itself does it. But its is a problem for webserver-videocache navigation with a desktop workstation.
