Sadly, this add-on has stopped working on gorillavid.in and daclips.in

The video appears in the list and looks the correct size, but, when i start it up, it downloads an empty file of 168kb.

I just gave a try to this video http://daclips.in/xvdwhjb88qdm and it downloaded as expected a 6981799 bytes file.
If you have problems, please share a video URL rather than a site.

Still having problems with many videos on gorillavid/daclips.

It's seeing the video, and showing the correct size in the list, but, then downloading a file of 168 bytes - always the same size.

The lastest failed video is here : http://gorillavid.in/mvji6estj36s

I don't get a video at that URL. There is a "Continue" button which opens an ad when you click it. Maybe your link expired.
If you get such a small file, you should open it with a text editor (or post it here). It probably contains a message that will help understand about the issue.

A 5 second countdown is normal gor gorillavid/daclips.

Ok, I'll post the page with links so you can click through yourself, see if that helps : http://www.watchfree.to/tv-2ba9-Two-Pints-of-Lager-and-a-Packet-of-Crisps-tv-show-online-free-putlocker.html/season-3-episode-8

I cannot open any of the files with a text editor, but have attached here.

I've just found a workaround that may give a clue to what is going on.

If I go to TOOLS - DOWNLOADS, right click on the 168 byte file, then select 'copy download link', then paste it into the url bar, I get a box with 2 options - 'play with vlc media player' and 'save'.

Clicking save here then downloads the file.

The file you attached contains:

<html>
<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.2.1</center>
</body>
</html>

Anyway, the link you provided does not show any video, just deceptive ads. Searching the page itself, it does not even contain a video player, neither Flash nor HTML5.

Did the workaround I found give you any clues to what is going on?

Yes, i get the same picture but i cannot see a video from there, just popup ads.
No, your workaround does not help since i cannot see a video.

It seems I did not explain very well. for which I apologise. The link isn't to the video itself, but, to the page that links to the video. If you scroll down (as in my second screenshot), there are links to the video hosted on gorillavid/daclips etc.

Not getting any popup ads on the page this end, surprised to hear that you are.

Sorry but those links bring me to pages that do not contain videos, only ads.
