Videocache 2.0 Wishlist

Cache youtube HD videos (hight quality too).
A web page to view cache status, play and delete videos.

Hi Kulbir,

Cache of Windows-Update and anti-virus would be very welcome in video-cache 2.0.

In addition to these websites similar to Orkut using the same technology of Youtube and Google Videos in charge of urls.

Osmano,

Youtube HD caching is on its way. Rest is a big task but I'll plan to include it as well.

Sergio,

There are lots of plugins which already support windows update and anti virus caching. So we can use zapchain to make them work with videocache.

We'll see if we can do something for orkut image caching.

Thank You!

Caching of mostly screener video web pages like megaupload and large list.

add a throttling by an option in videocache.conf and start caching orkut images.

Thanks.

Hi There,
Firstly, awesome work on all of this. It's hugely simplified our cache!

It would be /really/ appreciated if the apple trailers site could be cached; especially for HD trailers...

http://www.apple.com/trailers/

Thanks!

I would really like to see this for IpCop. I already have many customers running the Update accelrator addon for IpCop, but it only caches updates and such. I have been wishing for something like this for a long time! I'm not spiffy in linux, but I don't see why this wouldn't work. I would be willing to donate for your time to make this work!

this idea is based on the plugin system of another cache for dynamic files... but theirs plugins are in pure-php... my idea is to have a plugin system easy to make (.ini files?) where users provide a regex to match the url, and a more legible position of the id, not the python style ( var.split('/')[-1] ) and the name of the site, then everyone could add a dynamic content to cache, and share theirs plugins on the forum.

EDIT: I've made a little function to 'translate' what user said in the position of id.
example:
"last by /" -> will get the last item delimited by '/' in the url
"parameter video_id" -> will get the parameter video_id in the url

import re
 
patterns = {'by':'(last|\d+) by (.)',
	    'param':'parameter (\w+)'
}
 
def translator(text, url):
  """
  """
  for p in patterns:
    found = re.search(patterns[p], text)
    if found:
      if p == 'by':
	pos = found.group(1)
	delimiter = found.group(2)
	splitted = url.strip(delimiter).split(delimiter)
	try:
	  pos = int(pos)
	except:
	  pass
	if isinstance(pos, str):
	  pos = -1
	elif pos > len(splitted):
	  pos = -1
	else:
	  pos -= 1
	return splitted[pos]
      elif p == 'param':
	param = found.group(1)
	arglist = url.split('&')
	d = {}
	for arg in arglist:
	  arg = arg.split('=')
	  try:
	    d[arg[0]] = arg[1]
	  except:
	    continue
	  if d.has_key(param):
	    return d[param]
  return None

Kimble,

Currently I am very very busy for any further development work. I'll get back soon. I was also thinking on coding some plugin facilitator for videocache. Thank you very much for your interest.

Thank You!

Suport squid 3.0?

I'd like to see cachevideos itself be very generic, and have a ".d" directory to house the code for each of the supported video sites. This way, shipping support for some sites but not others will be much easier. Adding new cached sites will also be easier. You could just drop a new file in to the ".d" directory.

please add videolectures.net and yahoo videos.
thanks!

Please, add xpock.com.br videos also! And keep up this great work, congratulations.

yesssssss

good work if its work withe zapchain

we will be waite admin

regards

Globo.com
antivirus and terratv
thanks a lot ;D

For each site that contains videos / files use a kind of module. Available to users a full documentation of how to create modules for a new site!

Congratulations again Kulbir!

Hi !
I would like to say that videocache is a great software, but it has a huge intrinsical flaw: it heavily relies on video provider code (and I have to admit that I'm toasted with youtube as there is'nt any videocache update). It means that if a change is made that breaks the cache's system, a fix needs to be propagated fast enough to maintain videocache's efficiency.

Maybe we should consider a modular architecture: a base system with loadable modules (files) for each video provider along with a auto-update system. Hence, if a fix has to be done, it will be available very fast to everyone.

Regards,
RedVivi
