This is aimed at Dylan, since the vbGallery forum isn't open to me right now.

Here's what my problem is: For my site's video gallery I use something called vbTube. It's cool in that you can have users simply put in a link (like a Youtube URL or Dailymotion URL) and it will pull the meta data and thumbnails and add the video into my site's video galleries. The users get a new place to share their videos and get more views, and I get another way for users to share content. For lesser known sites you can even let them enter the video embed HTML and approve it manually if necessary. There are also Audio and Image gallery options, but I don't use them very much as it is harder to import a large number of files all at once with it.

The problem is, the modification is poorly coded, poorly translated, clunky, bulky, not very frequently updated, un-intuitive and on one occasion broke my site's caching. I also don't need all the extra features like direct video uploading and processing to my server. What I'd love to see for vbGallery is an extension into videos that include the features I mentioned in the first paragraph. If you guys tackled this I would ditch vbTube in a moment. I'm betting it'd pull in more customers for vbGallery, without a doubt.

Any thoughts?
 
I just took a look at the youtube code. I'm thinking that wouldn't be too out of reach. I'll talk to Cosmic about it and see about working in some time to research it.
 
If you did that... it would be amazing. I swear, it would mean that the only major things on my site that aren't dbtech would be vbseo and vaultwiki :p
