Video content box module on profile pages must coordinate or change...

Ok, so first I must say I am VERY happy to have the Combined Video/Audio modules for our site's profile pages! THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating these new modules- it's a major step towards solving my longterm audio/video 'split locations issues' that are still preventing me from going live.

That said, there are a just a couple of other aspects now that now need to coordinate better with this 'combined' concept.
I will keep to ONE item here though on this thread.

Now we have these wonderful tabs on our profile pages, which show each member's audio clips (uploaded, and soundcloud) and videos (uploaded, vimeo, and youtube)...all beautifully presented on one list each for audio and video. YAY!!!

But now, the lovely Videos module content box on profile pages is still 'stuck in the past' and displays ONLY uploaded videos. This creates a confusing conflict. See screenshot- the member has many YT videos on the site, but their "Latest Videos" viewbox says "No Videos Submitted!". Not awesome, in fact would seem downright weird to my members and to new people. Folks will be scratching their heads and asking about it from here to eternity.

I realize I could simply DELETE that video box from profile pages, but with its colorful vid thumbnails and scroll bar and the way it 'matches' its audio counterpart, well i really REALLY would like to keep it- it makes people's profile pages look rich and fun!

I just need it to show instead of ONLY 'uploaded' videos:

Ideally- to show COMBINED videos just like the Videos tab will show on its own page.

OR- if that's not possible and I have to choose only ONE type of video, can I make it show the member's Youtube vids instead of their uploaded vids? --> This is especially important to me because my new site will maintain the past uploaded vids, but all NEW vids will be only added via YT or Vimeo...I have removed the uploading of vids to my server to conserve future usage. So naturally it doesn't make sense to SHOWCASE the old uploaded vids ...which will no longer be changing in the future since no new ones will be uploaded. It would become a dumb stagnant box of outdated content. The vast majority of the member videos on my site are Youtubes, by the way.

How can I get the profile page video box module to show either Combined types of video, or Youtube instead of uploaded?

--> I will have this SAME EXACT question for the video module box on my Main/Index site page, by the way- except it would need to show vids from all members and not just from the profile page owner.

Thanks, I really must resolve this.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by the "Videos module content box" - can you clarify?

Nevermind - I see your image.

That is part of the NingJa skin so will have to be updated to reflect the new module - it's not part of the module. I'll get a ticket open on that.

OMG that would be TERRIFIC!

Do you mean you are going to actually set those showcase boxes to show COMBINED videos- on both the profile page versions and the MainPage.Index page version as well? That would make me SOOOOOOOO HAAPPPPPYYYYY! :D

(p.s. what do you call those boxes anyway, if not modules? ...so I don't cause confusion when referring to them)
