anyone there !!!

Make sure that your path to videocache is correct within squid. I noticed when I installed that videocache is now by default installed in /usr/share/videocache

hi Dale!!

the path to videocache is correct /usr/share/videocache this is my path to videocache.py and the path to python /usr/bin/python is Ok but its something else i cant resolve..

#-- videocache config for squid
url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/python /usr/share/videocache/videocache.py

Kind Regards

Have you checked your squid cache.log for errors?
