Re: Planned site update 1-2 Aug
This update are going to be delayed. After checked every movie on site (for cleaning up broken links). I noticed many links where broken. The place where I host most(many) of the videos made changes. Now it's not possible to link directly to a file from the site. Also they cut down filenames, and its not possible to upload .mkv files anymore!
I have e-mailed them 2 days ago about the problem. Still no answer. I'm going to call them on monday.
I don't know any other good hosting companies that gives you 100 Gb of storage and unlimited bandwidth for 20€/month.
Recommendations are welcome!
Everything is finished on my side now. But I choose to wait to include it till they have fixed the problems.
O well, back to the update..
I can tell you already now about some of the new features:
The biggest news with this update is the web-based administration. As I have said before it will now be possible for others than me to update the site.
Another good thing is that the videos are now linked to the user. Which means the player can change the data for their video (like the comment). There also another options like "Allow only registered users to download" your file, upload new screenshot, add download links and some more cool things..
Other new features is:
* Add to favorites
* Most popular list
* Highest rated list
* Better search engine
* Better looking templates
* Download counter
* Report "broken download link"
+ Some other small things. Likea clean-up of broken download links
Is there any disadvantages with this update?
Yes a few, here are some of them:
'
- Comments posted on YouTube doesn't display on site.
- There where 2 screenshots for each movie. Now there will be only 1.
- Ratings are reseted
- All comments lost
I can fix these things, but it will take time so I maybe don't.. we will see!
We are still waiting on a suitable Amiga AGA emulator with robust recording features before tackling such games.
