When you uninstall a module, all the module data's is deleted. If you have a backup, you'll need to restore either the site or the necessary bits for videos. If this is a shared server, your host may have an account backup available that can work. If there's no backup, I'm afraid the videos are gone.

I do see the stats show the old video count. Are there files under /flash/modules/video/files?

You already have a post on this that has been answered.

How long ago did you do this? My guess is the videos your are seeing in your first image is just a cached copy of the stats.

Nathan keeps beating me to it. LOL.

Sorry! 

@nehabatoo: To be clear, are there FLV and WEBM files, etc., under that directory? If so, can you describe exactly what you did, and when you started having this issue?

I also check it in files folder

I have video play issue with flash uploaded videos. So I uninstall video and reinstall it. After install I cant see my old videos on video page.

Under "flash/modules/video/files" folder.

Let me check which format they are.

there are .jpg,.m4v,webm

So you uninstalled the module. Seems it didn't clear the video files, but it does delete the database entries, so I'm afraid even with the files, the only thing you can do is to manually re-upload them. If you have a backup, you'll need to restore from it in order to get the required database entries back.

Is there any way to insert data manually in database?

Or upload files one by one. Also when i upload video from flash uploder they are not playing. Show video length 00:00.

You can see test video on home page.

Still i check database there are also all videos records under RayVideoFiles table.

The video module stores most of its data under the bx_videos tables, but also elsewhere. It seems the module wasn't fully/successfully uninstalled, so there's some bits left behind, but not the actual database entries for the videos.

Is there a backup available?

Please answer about backups; both the site files backup and the database backups.  If you have these backups, then we can help with recovery; at least at the time the backups were created.

If I recall correctly, Boonex is going to add a pop-up notice about uninstalling modules and losing data/files.  If you uninstall any module, it will remove the data.  If you think a module has corrupted files preventing the module from working, you simply upload the module's files overwriting the files on the server.  Uninstalling a module does not change the files for that module.  Installing a module simply sets up the database for that module; adding all the bits and pieces to the database needed by that module.

I guess I need to look at the Manual Wiki because this needs to be added to the manual so users understand more clearly what installing and uninstalling a module does.
