From what I've observed the VeohProxy/StreamPlugServer is used in conjunction with the DivVin plugin. I believe it may actually handle the links in other plugin's like TvShack etc. etc.
Start the VeohProxy then run your DivVin plugin and the proxy manages gathering the link/s to the file you wish to view. The reason for this appears to be (judging from the logs I've viewed) that the file you wish to view is in a way scrambled. An alogorithm is used to encode pieces of the link to the file name and basically every so often changes the link. VeohProxy is needed to "re-query" the link and decipher it so that it can be passed into the MPlayer or DVDPlayer whichever is used. (So we don't get just the first 5-10min)
Since I'm not actually the author of the code I'm just making a broad observation here, but I don't think that I'm too far off base.
So to answer your question I would say yes VeohProxy will be needed to View your OGM files beyond the 5-10min preview.

I have tried to watch OGM movies in DivVin with the VeohProxy running - all I ever get is "Too many consecutive failed items" (I am using the latest T3CH build of XBMC). What am I doing wrong?
I have also reduced the cache to 256k
Thanks

I was getting the same issues I found that 4MB is currently just about right for the video cache.
I have also found that I had better results doing a fresh install of the new tech build ie I made a back-up of my XBMC and swapped it to an external HD then completely deleted the file and rebooted before doing the install. I'm thinking that maybe my userdata folder had something funky going on with it so I didn't bother to use my old one.
Then I went out and made sure I downloaded the most current DivVin plugin and VeohProxy script (scan through the thread you'll eventually find them) before reinstalling them. A bit of a pain but it's working much better now than it did.
You may need to do the same thing I rarely get the "too many consecutive failed items" error with OGM now. There are some movies that just don't work I'm guessing because of broken links alltogether.
But again these are also new plugins/scripts and need to be broken-in they will more than likely need tweaking here and there..
Hope that helps you out and good luck..

Firstly the tvshack plugin & all other plugins apart from the animefuel plugin and any other future plugin that needs veoh or streamplug are independent of veoh proxy as it uses the links directly cached from the site itself.
Secondly, Veoh proxy gets the segments of the file much like a torrent and allows playback by adding each seperate bit onto the other. Rather than getting the low quality file directly from veoh.
Thirdly, I have been added to the SVN so as soon as time allows, i will add all my plugins .
Therefore one central location will be used.
Cheers Voinage.
If there are any typing errors i`m far too inhebriated to worry.

No offense taken m8, veoh proxy is a wonderful piece of coding and my thanks extend again to Hagen. Believe me, if tv shack used uncached veoh links - then i would be using veoh proxy hehe.

I`m glad that you approve, it`s a wonderful site and you now have the whole xbmc community using your site. Bump up your user figures by a couple of thousand.
I will add the Tv section as soon as you add it.
Could you drop me a line when you do , please.

Have a look here to see what else i have done.
I would suggest Vreel. Stage Vu is very unstable and caused random disconnects.
Oh, one small gripe.
Could you possibly leave your thumbnails in one position as i grab them to display via xbmc. They seem to change every month.
Thanks for posting Sir and welcome to the world of forensic medicine, eh sorry that`s Quincy.
Welcome to XBMC.
