As of just a few minutes ago, TASVideos now supports embedding streaming video for the vast majority of our movies directly from the movie page. Some of our videos aren't on any stream sites we support for embedding (YouTube, DailyMotion, Viddler, Google Video, Archive.org). We should have all our videos on at least one of those sites, so users new to TASVideos can easily watch our movies. If you notice a movie which isn't on one of those 5 sites, please report it here. Alternatively, if you notice a video on one of those 5 sites, but a button doesn't appear for it. Please report it here too. Publishers, we need to get all these videos uploaded. See this thread for more details.

Okay. We need our members to link those up to then. Editors, please when you get a chance, go over WebNations' list.

I can't see the embedded video. The message said that there is a button below the picture, but I can't find the button. I'm viewing on Firefox, by the way. Version 3.5.5

Okay as of now a full list of missing links is in the second post, if you want to upload it, let others know so we don't duplicate effort. Anyone know which videos we have on the site which are availble on a streaming site, but not of the supported ones? How many we have on Google Video? Answer: 52

I think this is a good feature. Great job. It should lower the threshold for first timers on the site to start watching movies. A simple click without leaving the site is always easier than downloading the torrent to video.

Which I believe should also call for raising/upholding quality standards in torrented encodes because lower-quality versions are available enough.

I just wanted to say thanks. I looked over the list of movies which lacked links, and found some of them in your account. So we only have 10 files still missing. Also, editors still need to go over your list and add backup YouTube links for movies which only have DailyMotion/Viddler/Google Video. Note, some of the crossouts above weren't from WebNations, but because I added Google Video support too, or I notice that the editor who put in a streaming media link didn't format it nicely.

That's the older one you uploaded. You mislabeled it as the newer one.

I agree completely, it'd both save my hair and time in encoding, as well as simply making it easier on everyone watching. Though, thats just me.

Great idea. It should be noted that archive.org too allow to stream an embed. And Zerx0 and ninkeo upload a lot of video on archive.org so they all available Example

Sounds interesting. Is there any API docs somewhere on their site so I can make sure I'm doing this right? Also, does anyone know if we have any videos on archive.org that don't use H.264?

There is several Famtasia such as 115M that has archived files. I assume they use the older codecs TASVideos used to use.

Okay, that uses XviD. So I could definitely use some documentation on how to use their player, and I'll need to write some code which figures out the video codec.

Okay, thanks for your help. I managed to get archive.org working. We should now have all videos available for streaming. If there is an issue, please inform me.

Should we add the archive.org link as a webseed?

I have a plan involving that, it will take some time to setup though.

I've been trying to search for a post on how Bisqwit did it, but for some reason I couldn't find it. Basically, you make some arbritrary bash script that reads every media file and greps for some of the common fourccs. if it isn't there, the site posts 'unknown'. ...Though since media files can be quite large, it is likely the script only searched the header of a file.

Nah that's okay. The code could just use magic file. But anyways, I have it working despite that, test it for yourself.

Unfortunately, we no longer have the videos stored in the same server. If we had them all on archive.org, I could write a script to read from them, but we don't.
