new tube site needs a workout - http://tedstube.com/

RE: The disabled functions are: dl

if you can do it, turn PHP's DL to ON. otherwise ask your support people. my support people did it in minutes for me;seem to be a non issue for them.

One advise about tubex. Be carefull with the urls. Sometimes tubex uses 5 words url and sometimes 7 words. Both work, but google finds it as a duplicate content. Look for the function in the templates that writes urls (t_urlify I think) and change the parameter with a 5 or 7 value to always be the same.

Very much this. I found that I had a combination of both of those and it led to thousands of duplicate pages in Google. Took me a long time to get it sorted out. I of course changed them to a consistent url and put a rel canonical tag on my videos. All seems to be well now but I could have avoided the whole mess by just fixing that from the start.
Also, put loader.php in your robots.txt file. Google has a problem with that for some reason. I don't know if it has any effect but it will show up as many 'empty redirects'

These aren't blocking options. All these packages are needed to reencode video and maybe to get thumbnails. But the script must run without it...

thx but what about this one?

PHP disable_functions - Some of the built in PHP functions have been disabled, and this may prevent you from fully utilizing all of the software features. The disabled functions are: dl

Dred, did you run the compatibilty script in your server? it can be downloaded from tubex site and it informs you about all the needed packages in your host.

When you go back on it, ask here for help. I run a tubex site and I know it quite well.

can I take that offer for help as well Cosmo? I got weird thumbnail queue behavoir that has suddenly popped up.

What do you mean? Yoy have thumbs to be procesed in the queue? If you are sure that all your thumbs are ok, just empty the queue. Maybe yo presed accidentally the button to regenerate thumbs of a video. If you do this, the queue doesn't starts automatically.

Cosmo,

I add videos to the thumbnail queue, I then goto the queue - they are all there waiting for me to click start. I click start and in one second the queue goes to zero and the completed thumbs count is incremented - the stop button goes grey and the start button is enabled. thats happening now if I have 20 or 100 videos in the queue. And whats making this weird is that did not happen before yesterday. before yesterday I got normal behavior from the thumbnail queue.

I realize this is likely something I need to bring up with my hosting people - but before I do that - I was hoping you might recognize that behavior and know the cause. that way I can just tell my support kids what to fix. the alternative is hoping my support kids have troubleshooting skills. and I know they dont...................

anyway Cosmo - does that sound like something you have heard of before with the thumbnail queue?

There is a counter at the right side, that says "Failed". Does this counter grows? I saw something similar while procesing videos, because of badly encoded videos, but never with thumbs.

You can look to the /data/ directory. There are some logs there, one of them called thumbs-queue.log.. maybe you find something there. And I'm thinking that maybe the problem comes from a disk without space?

no the failed doesnt increment. I'll look at that log and see what I can find out. I'll also check my cpanel stats about disk space.

COSMO - I started a new thread on this specific problem - if you care to join in - http://www.askdamagex.com/showthread.php?t=54178
I thought this new direction of the thread needed its own place.....
