Directory Permission
Permission Check failed Directories listed below are not writable.
jVideoDirect fetch and transcode video using background process.
As a result, these directories are needed to be accessible by the username of your webserver.
Typically, apache or nobody.

You should check
1. Directory and sub-directories of (joomla root /jMediaDirect) are owned by the username of apache
OR
2. Directory and sub-directories of (joomla root /jMediaDirect) are set with permission 777.

oh ooooooooo mr. cassie,where are you?
for me change of owner is not possible.
Upload:Fetch embed only

it's depending on your server settings, each servers varies.

If 777 doesn't work for you, you may need to play around with directory ownerships.
