Is there any way that I can add videos to my blog.entry, also I don't
really want to enter the file size because I will be using
video urls instead of content on my server. I have change the settings so that users
don't see the file size but it doesn't help because I still have to put it in.

Also I would love to see the video on the node itself instead of a play tab.

Video module is awesome and with that and the playlist module you can make an incredible blog

Thanks for your help

It seems to be a fairly common request, but I'm not sure if there's something quite as simple as this plug for wordpress:

Similar to what you're looking for?

I've used podpress before and it was wonderful.

I tried it for audio/podcasting - didn't know it supported video (but that seems logical). I wonder how difficult it would be for some of these simple (but productive) plugs to be ported over to drupal.

You should be able to disable file size by deleting those lines

//Make sure file size is valid.
  $path = getcwd() . '/' . $node->vidfile; //Local path to video file.
  if ((!isset($node->size) || !is_numeric($node->size) || $node->size < 0) && !$_SESSION['video_upload_file']) { //If the file is not local or not a valid number then set error. $_SESSION check needed for video_upload functionality
    form_set_error('size', t('You have to insert a valid file size for this video.'));
  }

If you don't like the play tab there is a patch for that
that will display the node on the view not in play tab.
This will be the default behaviour of the next video module for drupal 5

A couple more questions:

How do you use your module for nodes like blog entry/story/etc?
and how do you disable entering the video length such as 2 mins.

Thank you.

That's strange,

the video node articles I posted aren't on my rss feed or the main rss feed.

Any ideas?
