Videoache will download the same youtube movie twice

by imriz on 21 Feb 2009
Hi, Due to a recent change in youtube, the video_id in the first request (to the get_video script), and the videoid in the resulting redirect are different, which makes videocache download them both. I suggest changing the recommended regex in squid.conf to reject google's cache servers.

Video cache doesn't care about video quality

Hi, Some videos in youtube has two versions - low quality and high quality. videocache will cache the first version requested. I suggest breaking the youtube cache dir into more subdirs per quality.

Videocache 2.0 Wishlist

by Kulbir Saini on 21 Feb 2009
We want Videocache 2.0 to be free from normal bugs like XMLRPC, hang ups, TIME_WAIT sockets etc... We'll not go directly to version 2.0 from 1.9. We'll be releasing version numbered as 1.9.x (so next version will be 1.9.1) and will try to fix as many bugs as possible. Also, we'll try to include almost every feature requested by users. I have created this thread to discuss what we want to see in Videocache 2.0. Please reply with your suggestions on different components of videocache.
