Videocache is no longer in development.
Help Pleeeeaaase!!
by landysaccount on 20 Jan 2010Hello List.
I installed videocache from source on Debian Lenny and was looking at the videocache.log and noticed that I'm getting CACHE_FULL YOUTUBE. I don't know what I'm doing wrong since videocache is not caching videos. I also checked /var/spool/videocache/youtube and there isn't anything in there.
This is what my videocache.conf looks like:
enable_video_cache = 1
cache_host = 127.0.0.1
proxy = http://127.0.0.1:3128/
proxy_username =
proxy_password =
hit_threshold = 1
# I want 10GB of videos
base_dir = /var/spool/videocache/ : 10240
disk_avail_threshold = 100
This is videocache.log:

I changed
cache_host = 127.0.0.1
proxy = http://127.0.0.1:3128/
to an actual ip address:
cache_host = 172.16.0.1
proxy = http://172.16.0.1:3128/
But, still getting:

- try without dir size limit. I think size limiting is bugged.
- how much free space do you have on your hdd ?

My HDD is only 30% full. I'm not using any quota or space limiting. I also changed the cache_host to an actual ip address:
cache_host=172.16.0.1 and also changed the base_dir :
base_dir= /var/spool/videocache/:0
Now, at least I see in the videocache.log that has downloaded some videos:

Looks like is working but, don't know which of the two changes fixed the problem.

Also, I think you need to change this:
base_dir = /var/spool/videocache/ : 10240
to this:
base_dir = /var/spool/videocache/:10240
Then type in update-vc and restart squid & apache. Or just reboot.
