Josué,

I used 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. Every time I changed I followed these steps:

• stop squid
• Move all videocache directories to videocache-1.X
• Move /etc/videocache.conf to /etc/videocache.conf-1.X
• Install new videocache version. You will have new videocache directories.
• Compare /etc/videocache.conf to /etc/videocache.conf-1.X and decide what to do ...
• Move /var/spool/videocache-1.X files to /var/spool/videocache For migrating to 1.8 you need to move the files without the .flv extension.

Something like will help you:

#!/bin/sh
find /var/spool/videocache-1.X/youtube -name "*" -type f | while read old_video; do
    echo $old_video
    new_video=`echo $old_video | sed -e 's/\\/videocache-1.X\\//\\/videocache\\//g' -e 's/.flv//g'`
    echo $new_video
    mv $old_video $new_video
done

Thanks Josep for explaining the update process. I'll write a howto on update very soon.

Then I go to lose the recorded videos already?

I've made all the two past updates just installing over the old version, i just had to rename the youtube videos because the .flv extension is gone.

I am not obtaining, same moving the names of the directories the same error occurs, somebody can help me?
