Hello Kulbir!!!
Excellent work!!!

I have Squid 3.1.0.17. This version of Squid have self rotating log. When Squid rotate log Videocache not work anymore. I need this log rotating!!! Will there be any future updates for this?

One more thig. My Squid work on 'http_port 3129 tproxy' I have not tested this. Should set videocache to work on this port?

Thanks!!!!

Hi!

For videocache, it doesn't matter on which squid works. There is an option in videocache to configure proxy (see configure options for details). You can configure videocache to work with squid on any port.

Thank You!

Thank you Kulbir!!!

Videocache works with TPROXY option. TPROXY option is FULL TRANSPARENT PROXY, Rapidshare can not find your proxy server with this option on, all public IP packets remain same!!!
Full transparency drop all traffic from port 80 of bridged network interfaces into kernel routing and then iptables use TPROXY option to tell packets on port 80 to go to squid http_port 3129 with tproxy option on. Here I lose my webserver.
But becouse TPROXY is complicated I must change port of my webserver to something like 88. Now is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:88 and change videocache.conf :

cache_host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:88
proxy = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3129

This is solution of problem!!!
I have now another problem but it's not similar to videocache.
Chrome, Safari, IE can load Youtube video with TPROXY option on and can cache video, Firefox cannot load new video only cached, Opera can load and cache new video but cannot play cached video!!! Again this is some problem with Squid not videocache I test it!!!
