pros

Great for building traffic from youtube and monetizing content.

allows all uploads to your youtube account

Doesn't require heavy hosting plans as everything is is stored and played from youtube.

cons

Downside is there is no adult content seeing as it uses youtube as a proxy

setup is a bit complicated as it requires setting u a few google tools

The plugin has been suspended due to many negative reviews and incompatibility with the latest version. 

We tried to contact the dev check whether he's going to do something about that, but he did not respond. 

So we took preventive measures for users not to have a bad experience. 

Yeah me too buddy, i totally missed that one  :(

Quote from Sypa CC (Creative Fertile) Hey guys please don't misunderstand but Oxwall Video Uploader is not the solution. We really need a plugin to upload videos on hosting. I hope "Native video upload" will be the solution one day.

this was the first time seeing the response . First I want to thank everyone for their input and suggestions.

 Dave when I initially made this thread there was a connection problem with oxwall. I wasn't sure if the post had went through because there was nothing indicating the post was submitted successful so, I tried again and again until one finally showed up. I guess the others I tried to submitted  earlier finally show up as well., So I do apologize.

Okay yes, the video uploaded seemed to be discontinue or something from oxwall. I was just asking if their was and alternative to this plugin in which my user can upload their video. 

Franz and Ross thank you for your insight I will definitely try. Franz by using your method you shared above how is it working and do the uploaded video show a thumbnail?

Ross and Dave do you guys believe there will be another video up loader plugin soon in oxwall

Hi Franz your input is great, How do you feel about your users having the ability to upload content to your site? Are your worry about the content, space, or bandwidth ?

I been having issues with this plugin from the very beginning. I cant tell you how difficult it was going between my hosting  and the developer because any video I uploaded the video didn't show a thumbnail.

Franz I am not a tech or coding guy but, I will try your suggestions . It is much appreciated.

Zack, thanks for explaining that, appreciate that and np :)

I timed it a few times and it was very close, when the bar hit 100 percent it had a certain time, and when it finally finished it was very close to almost double that time.  So i never new what was happening really, but i got rid of the bar via the css and also blocked it out in js.  

And just put a small message to the user about the upload time approximation.  

The other mod i did to it was i added some options for no loop, preload metadata, and no autoplay and in the options made sure that html5 loaded first because it was loading flash first but after ie9 you want html5 to load first then the option for flash so i put that in too.  I also added a default thumb nail for all videos since  it was not doing a thumbnail at all i just added one that showed on all of them. 

I also hosted my own video js file instead of calling the remote video js that he had in the process, it seemed to help as well.  That means that you will have to check to see if it has been updated on your own and replace the file.

hope that helps you as well. 

Hey Guys..

I didn't know that a lot of people had the same issues with uploading videos wow!!!

Franz- yes I do have concern with my users uploaded content that is not own by them as well. That's why I am really thinking hard on just having my users being only able to embed videos from video sharing sites like youtube and etc but, in the back of my mind how great can a social networking site be with not allowing users to upload there video directly like most social networking site allows.

Dave- It really seems that you figure away for it to work for you. I am really not a tech or coding guy can you recommend any one who can help? 

Peter- I was going to get a dedicated server once my site is starting to pick up on users for maximum usage. Can you give any input on the size or space base on users for VPS or dedicated server?

That way the video site takes the risk of the content and people are so used to doing that anyway now days.  Plus the video community has all the eye candy and tools they need for their videos so you don't have to worry about all that. And it takes up their disk space not yours. 

If i were you i would focus on other features and spend my time on marketing and building your community locally then expanding it. I think you would have better results. 

just my thoughts.. 

This is not facebook, never was and never was intended to be.  Facebook has kazillions of dollars to work with, Oxwall team does not.  I am sure when puru gets back he will do some updates.  For right now youll just have to explain to your members about the reality and that you apologize for the inconvenience but at some point it will happen.

If i website (any website) is dependent on one feature to make it or break it, then either the owner has not marketed it properly or the site has other issues. Its not all about an uploader, that was my point.
