Sirkike,

Can you please provide these details?
1. Does XMLRPC continue to run after reconfigure?
2. Any tracebacks or errors in squid's cache.log file.

Thank You!

Cache.log don't report anything

Sirkike,

How many redirectors are you using? Using too many redirectors cause this problems sometime. Anything between 5-10 should be fine :)

Thank You!

Only use videoscache, with default config (except the cache dir)

Sirkike,

You probably misunderstood my question or I asked the wrong question. I was asking what is the number of rewrite programs you are using. As in what is the value of N in

url_rewrite_children N

Thank You!

u are right... the value was 10 (at the limit, i suppose), change to 5 now... and works fine!!

Thanks u very much!!!

Nice. Congratulations for the setup and enjoy caching videos :D
