Issue Summary

When I try update node with video_field provided by this module, without uloading new video instead of old one I always get such error and form is not validated(when i creat node everything is ok, video uploading works just fine). So editing the node without uploading new file impossible.

I'm getting this bug as well.

To be clear. I can upload and view the images fine. When I edit a node with a video on it, I cannot save the edited node. I get the following message:

Referencing to the file used in the Video field is not allowed.

This is really annoying since the only way to edit a node with a video is to reupload the video with a different name since youtube won't allow duplicate names.

FYI, I think I fixed it by commenting out the following lines in filefield_widget.inc (around line 420)

        //$references = module_invoke('filefield', 'file_references', $file);
        //if ($references['filefield'] == 0) {
        //  form_error($element, t('Referencing to the file used in the %field field is not allowed.', array('%field' => $element['#title'])));
        //}

Probably not the safest way to do it but it works for me.
