    Hi,

    Before moving to php8 on my running system, I have tested all my plugins on a test server, the only plugin not liking pgh8 where Videopack!

    Any chance the support for php8 will follow within limited time?

    Under installation on the test server did I get the following errors in the error_log file, and e.g. generating thumbs do not work. (Full paths substituted with ……).

    I’ve been using PHP 8.0 for a few months and I haven’t run into this problem before. I’ll take a look and see what could be causing it.

    An update.

    Removing the plugin again, switch to php7.4, install under php7.4, then switch to php8, seams to go well and all functionality is there, based upon a quick test.

    Looks like it’s under direct install under php8 it breaks.

    Yeah, that warning is generated when the Videopack settings haven’t been initialized yet which is why I missed it before. I’m almost done with a fix but I’ll need to do some more testing.
