Thanks

Hi -- I posed the rather lenthy post below HERE, but I believe it is more of an issue with Node Import. To any poster's who are having issues with HULU embedded media, I would point out that there is a small module that adds that flexibility.
_____________
Instead of "Me too"-ing this thread, here is some information that might help. I am using the very latest Dev version ( Of Node Import -- 6.x-1.x-dev 2009-Oct-10 ) and when I try and upload a small CSV of 5 records I too get the "You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code." I also get a total of 10 records. When I look at the failed record import I see it is trying to import:
"<object width=""512"" height=""296 ""><param name=""movie"" value=""http://www.hulu.com/embed/I4pabohtTHPGHBLqYoZD5g""></param><param name=""allowFullScreen"" value=""true""></param><embed src=""http://www.hulu.com/embed/I4pabohtTHPGHBLqYoZD5g"" type=""application/x-shockwave-flash"" allowFullScreen=""true"" width=""512"" height=""296""></embed></object>"See all those double Quote marks? I think that is the root of the problem. Somehow it is not properly escaping the quotes and probably trying to import an array of all these little pieces.
I have included information about my set-up if any developer is interested. I cannot do too much in terms of coding, but if anybody sees this and has a patch they want me to try, I would be happy to do so.
Thank you,
Jerry Witt

#11
the problem is:
$_filedata = @getimagesize($_filename);
@getimagesize not works with external image URL..
in local with xampp works!
#12
for staff:
it's possible replace @getimagesize in custom_url.inc with curl mode?
