The reason this is failing is due to the site code. It just won't accept the mininova tracker. It will take some reworking of code that nobody yet understands.
I intend to get this done though.

I think your best bet is to scrap the run you have, start a new movie from "Start" (which is the default option for a reason, btw), learn from your mistake, and redo.
I bet you will optimize it more your previous run. Then you can just call it a happy accident.

This movie was awesome. I tried to rate it a 10.9 but the .9 was truncated, dammit.
The MKV was quite a beautiful encode btw. It was near emulator quality despite the game being such codec poison.

I changed desmume to 59.82 (specifically to the formula gocha provided).
I'll change others too, but I need a list of what they should be, preferrably with precise formulas on how to derive them.
Also, should the time reflect the fps of the emulator? Or the fps of the real console?

The input files could be redone and only non lag frames could be recorded.
Then input could be fed only when the nes polls for input.
Also, SMB has no randomness, if someone were to actually try this insanity.
EDIT:
Even better, SMB's 21 frame rule even applies to the intro screen so you would even have to worry about power-on sync.
Also if someone were able to get something like this working, I wonder what kind of impact that would have on the speedrunning community. Say if someone were to do a TAS that replicates andrewg's speedrun but adds in 1 more time saving wall jump and pass it off as a speedrun.

Update on the streaming meida project.
1) Viddler - I have uploaded 500+ movies at this point and linked them all on the publication pages.
In addition I have created a TASVideos-obsoletions group to move movies too if/when they are obsoleted (rather than deleting them). People are free to upload published videos of obsoleted movies to this category if they feel like it.
2) Dailymotion - I have prioritized viddler first due to its batch upload capabilities. However, I and flygon have been putting videos on dailymotion too. We have 76 currently.
3) I have created a TASVideos-submissions group on daily motion. This is for quick encodes of submitted movies. Get a copy in my or flygon's hands if you want a submission encode uploaded here.
What's next on the agenda:
1) Finish getting ALL publications uploaded to both viddler & dailymotion
2) Get a motion maker account on daily motion (allowing to break the 20 minute limit
3) Write up pages on How to upload movies to Viddler & Dailymotion, including formatting details.
4) Require publishers upload their encodes to both of these places following these rules as part of the publication process.
5) Create an account on viddler and/or dailymotion TASVideos-playground, where people can upload their wips, un-submitted, playaround, whatever type tool assisted videos.
In the very near future I am going to ask for assistance in getting movies uploaded to dailymotion. I'm hoping to have some volunteers. Requirements: decent upload speed, willingness to put in a lot of hours uploading and properly labeling/linking the videos, trustworthy with a) the login info for TASVideos, or b) to create their own account on dailymotion and follow the proper rules for uploading the movies.

Copy/pasting a submission text is actually more work than changing the name in a text file.
Other things that are more than this "bit of work".
Submitting a movie
Making a TAS in the first place
Arguing on this point

Why in Metadata the author is HappyLee and not you? I guess steal others work is not allowed either.
Author cannot be changed (without a bit of work) and it is often eaiser to begin rerecording from where the imrpvements begins instead of starting fresh and reinventing the wheel.
A bit of work = open with notepad and type a new author's name? (This is a .fm2 afterall).

Ok, just now getting around to trying this script. It rocks my face off!
This is such a great tool and makes multi-player so much easier. I want to put this in the FCEUX svn and make it part of the next release.
This is where the real power of lua shines. The users can create new and innovative tools themselves; keeping the emulator lighter and the devs working on more core oriented things.
Thanks so much for this script. I shall start taking my nightmare on elm street 4-player improvement more seriously now :)

Easy yes vote. Very entertaining run and I am surprised at it being so short. You were brutal to this poor game :(
Also, (if) when published it should be done the way it is on nicovideo (http://dic.nicovideo.jp/v/sm8093884)
That is an excellent presentation of the movie.

It was a pleasure watching this, thank you. I've been waiting awhile for a publishable Hagane movie and this was certainly worth the wait. The wall glitching looked fantastic. And this TAS shows off one bad mo fo ninja.
I will be rating this somewhere in the 8.5-9 range on entertainment. Easy yes vote.
See you what you guys went and did? The Rigellians are so offended, they are horrified.
