The script looks great, I just have a few questions before I purchase your script over another one that I have been looking at.

1) When uploading new media to the site, one can upload several files to a directory, and then through the admin panel add all those videos to the site, does that sound correct? So videos can be uploaded in a batch form (not one by one) via ftp'ing an entire directory of media and then using the admin section ads them all.

2) The script uses GDLibrary to automatically create thumbnails for each of the movies that you upload, is that correct? So I will not have to create thumbnails of any of the media that I upload.

3) Are there any plans to allow other forms of media, such as jpg, gif, swf (flash games), mp3, .wav ect... to be added to the list that this script works with, so that different categories of content can be offered, such as a photo section or a flash games section or sound files sections.

I will wait to purchase the script until I have heard back from you on the above issues.

Thanks in advance for responding. Nice script as well.

1) That's exactly how it works. You uplaod the files to the upload directory then you click Add Videos.

2) Yes, but you need to create the thumbnails. There's no way for PHP to read the video file to create a thumbnail without an extra extension. I may consider adding this php extension for support later.

3) Yes, this is currently in the works. You can actually already do the games if they are swf files. But none-the-less, this is in the works.

1) Ok...I wanted to check out your demo again, to verify that the uploading of new videos was clear, but I can not get into the admin section of your demo with username: admin and password: admin I just want to verify that I will be able to do a batch upload of new videos, rather than having to add each one of them one by one.

2) Ok...so I still have to take a screenshot of the movie, then gd library will take that screenshot and make it into a thumbnail? Is that what you were saying?

3) Great, I hope that there is a way to implement all of those media types, since I am interested in having many different categories of media (pictures, videos, sounds, flash games, possibly downloads section ect...

Waiting to hear back from you and get access to the demo admin...

1) I've fixed the demo account issue.

2) Exactly.

3) I'm currently working on where you can add your own types. There's still much work to be completed on this though.
