Mahir,

You didn't configure your videocache properly. Please do these,

  1. Check if there are videos in /var/spool/videocache/youtube/ ?
  2. Check your cache_host option in /etc/videocache.conf file.

Make sure cache_host option is correct.

Thank You!

thnx for your interest admin ..

yes i can see some videos in videocache director ..

but not playing in flv player .. i think 127.0.0.1 is wrong ..

my squid proxy config on 127.0.0.1
you see here http://127.0.0.1/videocache/youtube/r3avtOOOZio?origin=nyc-v64.nyc.youtube.com& ..

how can i fix this .?

Mahir,

You should set cache_host to the IP address of your machine.

Thank You!
