it happened to me when i was testing my script... i think its returning when the videos was uploaded.

yes, but almost videos have the date there was uploaded and not when was downloaded to cache.

Sirkike, Kimble,

We are here depending on last modified time of the videos. The reason this script is not yet automatically used is the strange behavior of last modified time-stamp. But it wont happen with the video that are cached now onwards because videocache will take care of the time-stamps and will change them every-time a video was accessed.

Thank you for reporting that error.

the newly downloaded files doesn't have to be 'touched' with os.utime() too?

i've just tested here and the video have the same mtime that the upload time in youtube.

Bye.

Kimble,

I already added that line in development tree. Here is a patch,

diff --git a/videocache/videocache.py b/videocache/videocache.py

         remove(video_id)
         log(format%(pid, client, video_id, 'DOWNLOAD', type, str(size) + ' Video was downloaded and cached.'))
     except:

Apply that and you are safe. It'll take some time before cleanup script really gets stable. Thanks for your inputs :)
