Hi all
"Invalid Youtube video URL". This is the usual result with every correct Youtube Video URL in the apposite field, when I try to add a video.
It seems impossible, but it is true.
Charcoal theme (but i guess it has nothing to do with this issue)

Please help me, if it's possible.

Each normal youtube link.
For example:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDwb9jOVRtU[/url]
(The sintax is just what Jcow wants)

After I started this thread I found here:
[url]http://community.jcow.net/forums/viewthread/375[/url]

...but I don't know if this would work for me...and where is this php.ini file ! :)

Thank you in advance!!!

for php.ini

use a test file with the phpinfo() function and you find where the php.ini file is located and you also can see if allow_url_fopen is on or not

just make a file

ex. test.php

<? phpinfo(); ?>

if you use a server upload it to your server and run it

yoururl/test.php

else put it in your folder on your computer where you have your script and run it.

localhost/test.php

Are you using free hosting with unlimited space ,bandwith etc.

If you are chances are that the allow_url_fopen has been turned off ...

If you are running on your own server or paid then yeah do what falcone said..

The module itself uses file_get_contents().

This needs to be set in php.ini: allow_url_include = On
