I really love the whole 'watch on demand' feature that was added recently. The person who came up with that deserves a cookie of their choice (not that I am any such authority on cookie giving, but still). It is really neat to be able to view a TAS video without having to download it to the HD, but still have the option for offline viewing later. Very nice job.
Phear my uber gimpyness!

Indeed, Nach did a brilliant job. I'm particularly happy that the Archive.org streaming works, it helps even the videos that won't work on DailyMotion work like a breeze (Albeit, with 22050Hz sound from what I can tell, but who gives a damn, it's streaming). However, I have an idea on how it can be improved. If the published encode is already an MP4, can I suggest streaming that one instead? Sure, unless it is an encode with a huge post 512 bitrate, the video won't improve much, but I like my 44100Hz audio.

I did that at first when I was testing, but I noticed that some of our MP4 encodes weren't understood by flash properly. So I always tell it to take Archive.org's MP4 encodes, which always work in flash.

Ah, understood. I noticed that some of Aktan's muxes would actually break Windows Media Player, I guess the same applies to Flash.

Whoops. And turns out that it was not my first time. But I am not the only one who subscribes to that particular mistake… twice. What is with us Finns that we cannot spell properly? ;-) Please don't be derailed, o' topic.
