Marom,
Please check the block "Videocache Hacks" in the left sidebar!
Thank You!
how about this script at squid.conf??
url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/python /etc/squid/youtube_cache/youtube_cache.py
whereas in the directory / etc / squid no folders youtube_cache
Marom,
Youtube Cache has been renamed to Videocache. So, you receive videocache-x.x-x.tar.gz in videocache bundle.
That is an old howto I think. Please try this for an updated version of howto.
If you still face problems, please reply back in forum.
Thank You!
thanks admin,i have try it...
but when i try
git clone http://git.cachevideos.com/videocache.git
Initialized empty git repository in /usr/src/videocache/.git/
fatal: http://git.cachevideos.com/videocahe.git/info/refs download error - the request URL returned error: 403
how about this? thanks before
Marom,
You need to purchase a copy of videocache. Its not free anymore. Please go to download page.
Thank You!
Hi Marom,
I check my sent mail and I have sent you the bundle long back. Please extract that to get the videocache tar file.
Thank You!
why i have error in this step??
git clone http://git.cachevideos.com/videocache.git
Initialized empty git repository in /usr/src/videocache/.git/
fatal: http://git.cachevideos.com/videocahe.git/info/refs download error - the request URL returned error: 403
when i browse the web page http://git.cachevideos.com/videocache.git the result is access denied??
what must i do admin??
Hi Marom,
You don't have to use git anymore. For download and unzip/untar step do the following
- Download the attachment that I sent to you.
- Untar it. It'll have three packages.
- Now select the .tar.gz file and extract it. Thats your videocache-1.9.2 directory.
And then follow the tutorial.
Thank You!
hi admin.. i have install video cache and install it successfully by default configuration.
but when i try to make special direktory (/cache) for youtubecache there are some error when i open browser and browse http://localhost/videocache
Not Found
The requested URL /videocache was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
this is conf file in /etc/videocache
base_dir = /cache/videocache/
and /etc/httpd/conf.d/videocache.conf
Alias /videocache /cache/videocache
<Directory /cache/videocache>
Options +Indexes
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
there are no error when execute update-vc and reload squid and apache.
there are any file must i configure again admin???
thanxs for reply
Marom,
You don't have to make the special directory yourself. You just specify it as base_dir and run update-vc and videocache will create the necessary directories itself. Now since you have created one, please remove the existing directory and run update-vc again and reload httpd and squid services after that.
Thank You!
admin, I do not understand what you mean. I made a special direktory /cache of 100GB for the video directory cache. and I want the cache files are stored located there. how to configure this videocache? and one more, when I use the opera browser on the server's log videocache but can not play at the opera. thanks
Marom,
Run update-vc after changing videocache.conf . For opera, check your proxy settings in browser.
Thank You!
i have check proxy setting in opera and internet explorer, there are default configuration because i use transparent proxy..
i have check proxy setting in opera and internet explorer, there are default configuration because i use transparent proxy.. but the browser ( opera and IE) still can't play video cache??
one more, i after edit /etc/videocache.conf and run update-vc, reload apache2 and squid.. but it's not working??? the log its ok but can't served from cache..
Marom,
You don't tend to supply enough information which can help me track the problem. You just say "its not working". What does that mean? Please contact me using the contact form.
Thank You!
