Request a website to cache!
Dear all,
I am creating this topic for capturing your requests for caching new websites. Please reply to this topic in order you want a website to be included in videocache and I'll add it to the Todo List. Please provide as much details as possible about the website and the videos!
Thank you for using videocache!
Some suggestions
If you decide to add more features, I would love to see
- Google Earth satelite imagery cached
- Windows Updates
- Antivirus updates (1st priority AVG, 2nd priority Norton, 3rd Trend Micro)
These sites shouldnt require very much to keep updated with their URL rewriting methods as they stay the same throughout the year.
Of course I understand that you are very busy maintaining the videocache system to keep up with the current websites it supports.
Video cache has been working well for me. With my 30 customers, it is currently saving my upstream connection about 1gB per day, and slowly increasing as more videos become cached.
Thanks for the great work.
os.rename issue on some Unix platforms
I consider this issue not as bug, but i suggest change 1 line of code in vc-scheduler:
from os.rename(tmp_path, video_path)
to shutil.move(tmp_path, video_path)
----
Otherwise if i have tmp dir and cache dirs on difirent partitions, under linux (im my case was Gentoo kernel 2.6.39 arch x86_64 Python 2.6/3.1) os.rename can trigger error and as result files unable to move from tmp dir to real ca

This bug of os.rename noticed in Python documentation (The operation may fail on some Unix flavors if src and dst are on different filesystems.).
Thank you for realy good solution.
Would be well that the plug-in did also "Windows updates" and some other sites
I use other redirector also that to cache such sites:
Windows Updates
Symantec Liveupdate
AVG updates
Avira updates
and others like this. Usually I separate servers per destination. But there are greater firms as Akamei, CDN which at the same time serve both youtube and windowsupdates destination, thus I can to caching either one or another, but not both together.
Would be wonderful to add in a plug-in caching these too, Very simply to make it, I can send the second script if it is necessary.
