I have over 500 videos in flash .flv. In anticipation of HTML5 becoming the standard, I converted them to .mp4 and re-uploaded them. The result was the the /files/videos directory ballooned from 12 GB to over 45 GB. This caused two errors:

1. Something like the video cannot upload...

2. MySQL can't start "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)

Two get around the issue, I had to increase the disk space available on my cloud server.

Just a heads up.

I think the reason this happened was that some of the old .flv files weren't deleted during the re-upload.

Overall, an excellent module though. Keep up the great work.

Are you having any more problems?

Closed because of lack of response.

No more problems after I increased the available hard disk space on the cloud server. It had nothing to do with the module but the physical hard disk available.
