PHPVideoScript is the latest PHP script which allows webmasters to create an SEO-friendly video/multimedia website which pulls content from YouTube.

PHPVideoScript stores all entries in a MySQL database, and even pulls the comments from YouTube's video pages. All of the information is pulled via the YouTube API (ID can be obtained free of charge and is required to run the script).

Easy to change design - all pages use TPL templates and CSS. Adding Google AdSense or another advertisement service is easy as 1-2-3.

PHPVideoScript uses mod_rewrite to keep search engines coming back for more, along with dynamic META keyword generation and title generation.

With PHPVideoScript's YouTube crawler, tens of thousands of videos can be cataloged within minutes (depending on the speed of your server). Administrators can set the number of videos to pull for each new keyword.

Check out the demo above! Get your license today! PM me for more license deals than just the 5 and 10 license packages.

Server Requirements:
PHP 5, MySQL, mod_rewrite

Thanks for looking!

I will be purchasing this, I just have one question:

What makes this script different than the ones out there right now? Like, what makes it legal? I'm a little confused on this aspect :P

 

[ricberw]

Since the script uses YouTube's own embed code, it follows the rules - many of the other scripts out there actually download the videos to their servers (effectively providing another download location) which is not legal, as per the YouTube TOS. The download utility provided by MediaConverterScript.com falls under "fair use" law, so long as you only use the video for your own personal viewing and do not redistribute it.

There aren't many other differences between this one and the others though - this one just has a few more features and is much lighter on your server (takes up virtually no space/bandwidth and is quite customizable).

Thanks for the interest!

Doesn't this breach a number of YouTube terms set fourth in Terms of Service - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code and Branding Guidelines - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

Primarily these points:

Caching. Your API Client may employ session-based caching solely of YouTube API results, but You must use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Your API Client to update cached results upon any changes in video metadata. For example, if a video is removed from the YouTube service or made "private" by the video uploader, cached results shall be removed from Your cache. For the avoidance of doubt, Your API Client shall not be designed to cache YouTube audiovisual content.

Anyone considering running AdSense on the video pages:

the sale of advertising, sponsorships, or promotions on any page of the API Client containing YouTube audiovisual content, unless other content not obtained from YouTube appears on the same page and is of sufficient value to be the basis for such sales.

and in specific...

Note: If the only reason people go to a page is to watch a video, you should not run ads on that page. If you don't know whether you can display ads on a page, consider whether you would still be able to sell the ad inventory if you removed the video and all references to the video from the page. If so, then you can probably display ads on the page.

As mentioned in the terms, you can display ads on search results etc, but not on any page containing audio/visual content provided by YouTube. More information regardinging monetizing:
Using the YouTube APIs to Build Monetizable Applications - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

As for providing downloads:

access any portion of any YouTube audiovisual content by any means other than use of a YouTube player or other video player expressly authorized by YouTube;

Things you should know when planning to use the YouTube API. Perhaps a bit misleading title as well, as some of those features aren't 'LEGAL'. Most of the functionality provided with this script can be performed within YouTube's Terms, but not in the way described here.

koola: Either you copied that post from another forum and another poster, or you just enjoy posting issues. I addressed this at the other forum *hours* before you posted this, and asking the same question here will just get you the same answer.

Quoted from other forum:

The simple answer: April 8, 2009 is the last time they updated the TOS at YouTube - we were not informed of the terms change, and obviously should have been.

I will be taking steps over the next few days to tighten up our adherence to the API's terms and will release a new version that includes more content on pages (such as articles related to the videos and more).

Oh, and for the downloading section, familiarize yourself with the DMCA (digital millennium copyright act) and you'll see that downloading for personal backup/use is legal, just not for distribution, regardless of what the institution would like (this has yet to be tried further in the U.S. court system).

Thanks for the notice!

Rick Berwick

You never told the potential buyers here about it so I thought it was ok to ask here too.

 

[ricberw]

To address the issues with the YouTube API, we have been forced to remove the "download" option from the script. Unfortunately, after contacting YouTube/Google directly, we have been informed that offering a "download" on the same page as an API is used is not within their terms.

We are reverting back to version 2.1 until further notice, as 2.1 followed the terms perfectly. As per the comments above, administrators should avoid putting advertisements on the "view video" pages, as this is also against the TOS (we never supported this anyway).

Caching is updated at the administrator's will, and in order to stay within the terms, we recommend that administrators set this to update at least once a week - a very reasonable timeframe to clean up videos which are no longer available or have been made private.

I am closing this thread and will re-post the advertisement for 2.1, as I do not want users to read the advertisement above and confuse themselves.

Thanks for your loyalty and interest!
