I tried several other video sites (Daily Motion, Google Video, etc.) and all of them import without any issue. They are fast, and they come as complete imports.OK, I will check your server. I have emailed you for server access details.

I hate to be a nuisance, but I really need to get this fixed. I submitted my server information. Is there any estimate on when I can get someone to take a glance at it?

I'm really not trying to be demanding- I appreciate everyone's help with this.

I'm sorry that it has taken a few days to respond.

I have done some checks on your server. This is the response from Youtube when your server tries to access information from their site:HTTP/1.1 303 See Other

From this, I can tell you that your server is making so many requests to Youtube, that the Youtube server is requesting captcha information (which obviously can not be given by the server). This is the reason why your Youtube imports are failing to get the video information. Our Youtube plugin actually uses the Youtube API and so this shouldn't really be happening. However, when the Youtube data is requested, the CURL request just times out without any information being given.

In this situation, this is the text given by Youtube.com:Sorry for the interruption. We have been receiving a large volume of requests from your network. To continue with your YouTube experience, please enter the verification code below.
As you said, (and I have verified) that videos from other websites are added fine. It is only Youtube videos that are failing. This tells us that CURL is working correctly, and the method used in the hwdVideoShare plugins is fine. However, Youtube is simply blocking access from your server IP.

Who is your Host? Are you on a shared server? It is worth asking them about this, and seeing if they offer a solution (such as changing your server IP).

I really appreciate you looking in to this for me. My host is Cirtex Hosting, and I've been less than thrilled with them thusfar.

I really only prefer to use them because all of their hosting packages come with ffmpeg, which is great for the video hosting. The downtime has been HORRIBLE.

Do you have any suggestions as to another hosting solution?

Thanks.
