Hmm I actually think I can add in the autoplay feature if someone wanted it and the only problem with adding the dates based from you tube is that when you add them to wordpress they won't align correctly.

An example would be you made a post today with todays date then you pulled 5 videos from you tube from dates before today when viewing your blog the new posts won't be the new post it will be the post you made today and the other posts will be backdated appearing off the main page depending on how many posts your making so you could be making 10 posts a day but in reality your visitors won't see a change on the main site.

But I am looking into swapping up the dates to keep things more random and natural.

I'm not really concerned about the autoplay... just for the link above I'm sure some people could use it!

I thought the timestamp of the video was based on youtube or something as it doesn't seem to be when the script is run.... I pulled some videos on the test site and they didn't appear top (or even on the front page).. didn't look that closely though. Does it just go on the date not the time?

I was actually referring to the timestamp for the comments - having loads at the same time doesn't look natural.

Yeah your right the timestamp for all 0 to 10 comments will be the same as the timestamp for the actual post, I can change those easily though.

How I do the time stamp is with the following bit of code.

Code: 
date("y-m-d h:m:s",time()-rand(60,3600*4))
That randomizes things a bit but I could make it randomize it even more but I'll have to really look at it when posts are being made and figure out the spacing.

I think it would need to randomise each comment individually to look natural... or just change comment timestamps to date only - guess that involves modifying the WP code though and might mean they don't show in order. (Unless the comment can retain the original timestamp, but only display the date.)

Another thought - could it somehow filter out (or mark for approval) all the crap comments that youtube attracts? You know the "spread this to ten people, spin around 5 times and you'll marry a supermodel" shit.

Thats a little trickier, I could set them all to be moderated but that would be a waste of time, the other way is I could check the comments for specific keywords and if it hits that flag it can send them into a moderation status, or if the comment is too short I could set it to be moderated.

Sometimes I wish computers could just read and understand text without telling it what to expect haha would make things so much easier in cases like this.

It's more natural if you leave them in. ;-)

Good point!!

I'll prob be buying it mate, looks great and will save a lot of time for a couple of projects. Got a lot on at the mo and don't like buying things and not using them, so it'll prob be in a week on two.. not planning on ending the WFSO (hehe) soon are ya?
 
I grabbed a copy of ViScript and been playing with it for a few hours.

After running the plugin, you may get this error dependent on php setup:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION
cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/overcome/public_html/dentalcare/wp-content/plugins/ViScript/ViScript.php on line 755
Click to expand...

A simple solution is to add this code immediately before line 755
if (ini_get('open_basedir') == '' && ini_get('safe_mode' == 'Off'))

Has it been tested with WP MU Aequitas? Now, whose’s gonna be the first person to build 1000 or more video blogs with this plugin?

That line 755 error seems to happen on shared hosting accounts when it tries to scrape certain badly formatted URLs, I'll have to look into the code you supplied there.

As for Wordpress MU, no it hasen't been tested with them yet so I doubt it will be compatible but I'll be looking into making it work with MU if it doesn't already, I really don't know I never tried it on MU yet.
 
I’ll test it with WP MU tomorrow… otherwise, a great plugin and certainly worth more than the asking price!
 
Hey I never got the updated viscript with the new youtube comments, could you send it over, the site is down....Thanks

Or maybe not.... Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

Seems the new owner isn't honouring your previous statements so would it be safe to assume that the "lifetime upgrades" are out the window too?

No I wouldn't say that just yet, I only assume the new owner took them down because he didn't know what they were, ect..., I'll have a talk with him about keeping the lifetime upgrades ect..., but ultimately it will be up to him now.
 
I ordered the script on August 31st, but was redirected to the "Access Denied" page right after I paid via PayPal.

I sent an e-mail to support on August 31st, but still haven't received a response.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the new owner?
