no cache videos

by mscandian on 25 Aug 2009

Hi guys,

I have installed the videocache in my FreeBSD server with this configuration:

FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE
squid-2.7.6_1
python25-2.5.4_2
py25-iniparse-0.3.1
py25-urlgrabber-3.1.0_1

When I try to see some video in youtube page, I see just it:

2009-08-25 13:23:49,544 4011 - - RELOAD - videocache plugin was reloaded.

My "ps ax" show this:

  859  ??  Is     0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/squid -D
  861  ??  S      1:38.00 (squid) -D (squid)
  862  ??  Is     0:00.17 (python) /usr/share/videocache/videocache.py (python)

  870  ??  Ss     0:01.30 diskd 881664 881665 881666 (diskd-daemon)

And I have two interfaces with this:

bge0 = 201.45.X.Y
bge1 = 192.168.16.1

My /etc/videocache.conf:

cache_host = 192.168.16.1
proxy = http://127.0.0.1:3128/
rpc_host = 127.0.0.1

Is this correct?

I set the permissions squid:squid in the /var/spool/videocache:

pf2# chown -R squid:squid /var/spool/videocache/

pf2# sockstat -4l
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     natd       3225  4  div4   *:8668                *:*
squid    python     867   4  tcp4   127.0.0.1:9100        *:*
squid    squid      861   6  udp4   *:59432               *:*
squid    squid      861   21 tcp4   *:3128                *:*
squid    squid      861   22 udp4   *:3130                *:*

I dont know what's wrong in my configuration. I tried change the cache_host and rpc_host to other values, using my 201.45.X.Y IP and doesnt work.

Someone can help me?

PS: Sorry about my poor english.

Regards,
MS

Hi guys,

I made some modification in my squid.conf and videocache.py because the youtube change the url videos.

Well, now, I'm getting only REQUEST but not download.
