Andrew, since I am not having troubles with V1.6.6 I will refrain from installing the update. I will wait for V1.7 instead.

Hi all,

Thanks to Andrew. I have downloaded the update but waiting for Ozynics for template update as well since he has modified some PHP files as well.

Cheers!!! ;)

@muzikia - the same script works fine in 1.6.6 without any hitch.

@Andrew - thank you, that worked :). Strange i did not notice it before, but yes that did the trick :)

Off to upgrade the other sites :)

Just a quick update guys.

There have been a few minor bugs in this release.

We're sorting them as "we speak", and re-building the packages.

The updated files will be posted in this thread for your convenience (if you're already running 1.6.7).

Ok, the 3 bugs reported so far have been sorted.

They are:
1) Problem with category names (front & back end)
2) Problem with video sitemap parsing
3) Problem with JW Player skins (including the ones on 'My favorites' page).

The fixed files have been attached to this topic.

The 1.6.7 update & full package have been updated as well.

Thanks Trace for providing the bug fix for category names.

Hi Andrew

Just downloaded PHP Melody 1.6.7 but can't find the UPGRADE option from the download section. All files indicate a fresh install. Please advise.

>>>Found the update download link.

Lot's of customers download the full package instead of the update.

Any suggestions on how can we solve this/make it more clear?

Some more video sitemap issues being reported by Google.

Error Message:- We've detected duplicate video titles.
Value: Hritik Rosham at a Charitable Event

The video sitemap - bestbollyvideos.com/video-sitemap-1.xml

I checked the sitemap and the above title is duplicated twice.

But in the database only one instance of this video is there. I searched via the content it, title and only one result showed up.

i deleted the xml, recreated it but still the same issue.

The warning messages for duplicated titles shouldn't affect the sitemap's indexing. Google has accepted your sitemap.

We were aware of this when we build the video sitemap generator but we assumed that duplicate titles would be a rare thing.

Practically speaking, if you run a music or non-music video site, what are the chances of having the same title for 2 videos? I suppose pretty high.

Even so, this should not affect your sitemap's approval process and/or site indexing. This is why I believe we shouldn't bloat the video sitemap generator any further with duplicate title checks.
