 * Don’t worry, I use the plugin and I fixed this error few minutes ago.
 * The owner of PHP MyVideoBlog has abandoned the plugin and we have no support 
   since then. Their website is also offline, maybe this is the cause of that issue.
 * First make a backup of the file mvb_main.php and delete these lines:
 * > $mvb_latest_version = curl_exec($ch);
   >  curl_close($ch); if($mvb_showversion
   > >= $mvb_latest_version) { delete_user_meta($user_id, ‘mvb_check_notice_readed’);}
   > else { add_action(‘admin_notices’, ‘mvb_notice’); } }
 * And:
 * > function mvb_notice() {
   >  global $current_user, $mvb_latest_version; $user_id
   > = $current_user->ID; $server_url = $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]; if (strstr($server_url,“?”)){
   > $mvb_notice_url = strstr($server_url, “?”); $mvb_notice_url = str_replace(“?”,“&”,
   > $mvb_notice_url); } $mvb_noteread = get_user_meta($user_id, ‘mvb_check_notice_readed’,
   > true); if ((!$mvb_noteread) AND (current_user_can( ‘install_plugins’ ))) { 
   > echo ‘<div class=”updated”><p>’; printf(__(‘<font color=”green”><b>MVB Plugin
   > </b></font> – A new version (‘.$mvb_latest_version.’) is available! Click [here](http://www.phpmyvideoblog.com/forum)

   > mvb_close_notice=0’.$mvb_notice_url.”); echo “</p></div>”; } else if (($mvb_noteread
   > < $mvb_latest_version) AND (current_user_can( ‘install_plugins’ ))) { echo ‘
   > <div class=”updated”><p>’; printf(__(‘<font color=”green”><b>MVB Plugin</b>
   > </font> – A new version (‘.$mvb_latest_version.’) is available! Click [here](http://www.phpmyvideoblog.com/forum)
