Registration Problems Fixed

posted by Nach at 2010-08-30 20:03:36

It has come to my attention by a frustrated user trying to register that our registration form was broken. I'm not sure for how long this has been the case, it might have even been slightly random. The issue has been fixed. If you had trouble registering before, try again now.

In the process of fixing this, I also noticed we had a few other issues, which were fixed too. If you run into any problems, and are unable to register or post in the forum about it, please report it in our IRC channel.

Award & RSS Update

posted by Nach at 2010-08-30 00:29:10

I just added another RSS feed to use as an API. This feed groups other feeds which list movies which are notable in some way. Being recommended (special stars), top rated, or award winning. All RSS feeds now also contain categories for each award a movie won.

In addition to easy access to award winning movies in RSS feeds, the awards page now automatically displays all award winning players and their movies. Trophy icons users possess now also link to the particular entry in the award page for that award. More award goodies coming soon.

TASVideos Feeds is now your complete API

I added tons of information to the various RSS feeds the site provides. Submission items now contain a link to the movie file. Publications now contains full info for each movie, including watching online links, mirror URLs, all torrents, categories, and rating. All RSS items now also link to the appropriate place to comment on an item, and the cutoff length of each item has been expanded so you can see more about each one.

You can now use our RSS feeds in your applications to display info however you desire, and provide easy access to our content. In order to assist with this, there is now a Systems Feed Which contains links to a feed for each system listing all non obsoleted movies.

These feeds conform to RSS 2, Atom, and Media RSS 1.5 specifications. They've been tested and work nicely in Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome (with RSS addon), Internet Explorer 8, Google Reader, Akregator, Miro, qBittorrent, uTorrent, Deluge, and an XBox Media Center plugin one of our members is working on. Support in other clients although not tested should be fine.

If you create any applications that make use of these feeds and could be of interest to our users, please start a topic about it in our forums. All these feeds are generated hourly. In your applications, please cache the pages you download, and don't bother re-downloading a feed if an hour hasn't elapsed, so as not to tax our server unnecessarily.

Enjoy!
