Please could you clarify the exact insertion point of the step2 instruction copied below ie the existing line above and the line below where the new code is to be inserted? Step 2. In Website UI -> Page components -> include_list_videos_block_common.tpl add the following code under <div class="headline"> after header display:

Ty for the link to semrush.com. I have used seoblity.net. There seem to be many sites like this around and I suspect they mostly do similar analysis/audit/reports. There are certainly improvements to make but nothing that would be a reasonable explanation for zero url discovery in 2 months. The site is hosted via cloudflare which shouldn't cause a problem I expect? There has been no attempted seo practice that could be risky in terms of blacklisting. Only focus has been to get Google indexing underway.

Ty for suggestion. I haven't made any changes to the robots.txt file so it is the same as when KVS set up the site. SEO auditseems to say that crawlers are not obstructed. What item did you have in your robots.txt file that was causing the problem?

So 2 months now and not a single URL discovered according to the Google sitemap report page. KVS say the sitemap is rendered correctly, but some aspect of the site does appear to be unattractive to Google for some reason. There are no intructions in the KVS documentation for modifying/optimizing the sitemap.

After a month of the sitemap Google search console says no URLs discovered. Did you change any default settings on the KVS sitemap page? Did you put the sitemap URL in the robots.txt file?

Do you request Google to index URLs manually or do you just rely on the sitemap to allow the Google crawler to find?

After crawling do many videos fail to be indexed by Google or do most get indexed successfully?

A video grabber that will work on a site other than those in the KVS video grabber list. https://forum.kernel-video-sharing.com/topic/24-how-to-create-custom-tube-video-grabber-for-kvs/

Hello, Anyone got any custom grabbers available? Thanks

How long did it take Google to index the pages on your tubesite? Did you encounter any issues with KVS generated html or use of the Google Search Console that affected the Google indexing process success?

You have over 200k videos on the site but only 100 indexed by Google? Is that still the case or are more indexed now?

Is the mass grid editor included in the latest kVS update?

This worked fine thanks. Another li could be added for all categories which worked fine also. Could the same idea be applied to do a dropdown to other header buttons such as models and channels?

I may try to add this, did it work ok? With the dropdown links added, is the link to the main categories page lost? It would be good to keep this link at the top of the dropdown?

It would be interesting to hear how you rate Fastpanel for hosting KVS sites. Do the KVS sites stay online generally or are they prone to going offline? Do Fastpanel provide good support? Any feedback on using Plesk, cPanel or any other software to manage servers with KVS sites would be interesting to know please?

Ok so the directories can be sorted after in batches. To edit the title in the database, the default view of the title column shows only a very narrow column. Please could you advise how to increase the width of the title display so it is readily readable? (switching columns on/off from the display seems ok but I can't see how the width is adjusted) Thank you

When the video title is changed on the KVS video edit page the directory is updated by KVS automatically to also align. Correct? If instead the video title is edited directly in the database will KVS detect the change and auto update the directory also? If not what would be the recommended approach to generate the new directory to align with the new title?

Is it possible to edit video titles directly in the database? At present having to edit video titles individually, waiting for each video to open and close is very very slow?

Does anyone use FastPanel. I have a server setup with FastPanel but nginx is not listed as a service on the panel which makes the panel seem a surprising choice to use with the KVS software? Hestia has been mentioned to me - does this provide management of the services/modules/settings required by the KVS software? https://hestiacp.com/ aaPanel is another one mentioned to me, does this provide management of the services/modules/settings required by the KVS software? https://www.aapanel.com/index.html plesk and cpanel don't seem to support the modules and settings required by the KVS software, it would be interesting to hear if anyone uses them successfully?

Hi Emilia, Thanks for the feedback, I am new to this so it is interesting to hear of your experience. I sense the KVS software does have potential but there is a lot to learn! It looks like you can encode approx up 10k videos per week so even with your investment in conversion servers it takes quite a while to build up content on your site? Why did you decide to upload video content rather than just embed which would be much quicker? I am just experimenting with a single content server right now. It seems to be underpowered for conversion so I have set it to download multiple video qualities rather than a single source file and then convert. It seems very slow though! For now I have restricted targeted videos to max duration 20mins. Your 11 dedicated conversion servers - these all encode video from a main storage server? Is it correct that these 11 servers would each have an IP address, no domain name and purely receive/send files with the main storage server ie do not serve or publish content to website users at all? Do you find your 11 conversion servers are fully utilised ie not waiting to receive source files from the main storage server? To use conversion servers I understand a KVS Ultimate license for the main content server? Does the KVS software need to be installed on each conversion server and is a KVS license required for each conversion server? This is an interesting project certainly!

Hello, This is an interesting thread, I just wondered if there was any further development? Did anyone try out the accelerated hardware video encoding mentioned on Jan 24? J
