Error when using external URL option

[calvinturbo]

Hi there,

I am using the external URL option to add videos to my library. The problem is that my URLs are very long and thus the adding fails.

This error is displayed in the SSH console:

Value too long for column "EXTERNAL_LINK VARCHAR(255)

My URL is around the 700 characters. Can you maybe up the limit to 1000 characters so longer URLs are supported? Thanks :)

Accordding to the v1.0.5.BETA changelog, this issue is fixed, but it doesn`t seem to be fixed.
I am using the no-mysql option and applied the patch fix (by opening the new version).

Oh sorry, referenced the wrong issue in the release. Will look into it soon!

@calvinturbo this issue still active?

@gkiko Yes this still appears to be a bug.

Fixing it shouldn't be to hard, but I think it will require a migration for old databases to update the colum from varchar(255) to text.
