Perhaps tags to be used for search?
My published movies [03:45:05] <Naohiro19> Soulrivers: ... [03:45:19] <Soulrivers> ? [03:46:35] <Naohiro19> <Soulrivers> No! <Naohiro19> So? <Soulrivers> Yes! [03:46:48] <Naohiro19> joke

Please elaborate on what you would like to see as far as "tags" are concerned. I was going to have certain rigid categories at one point, but I figure the less you have to enter when uploading, the better.

I mean like on youtube. When you upload you enter a number of words that are used to match search words.

Like, for example, browsing through for WIPs of a specific game? or 'test run' tags, 'glitch exploration', etc.?

I like the idea of having all movie files sorted after game. However as that could confuse people, not finding what they are looking for, tags could additionally be implemented. Like I type "super mario 64 <insert>". Or never mind. Why not just use descriptions? :p

I plan on using the TAS Movie Editor file processing libraries to extract metadata from uploads, so I can store certain specifics about all uploads that will stay uniform (assuming the file stores that info). Other than that though, I was just going to have a general description field. There's a lot you can find out about the ROM the movie was made with without needing user input, and this'll keep everything consistent.
