the-elite.net's New Blog - YouTube video feed
« on: October 10, 2009, 06:56:00 pm »
So I'm quite excited about the video feed on the right column of the-elite.net.  When new videos are added to Ryan's theeliteWRVids YouTube account, our blog is pinged and the new video automatically appears.  There weren't plugins for this (that I could find) but I managed to get it working (so far, at least..).  So here's the situation

If we continue to use this account, we'll want to brand it and clean up the content to make it seem more official (and remove irrelevant videos it has favorited, etc).  We'll also want to standard the video name format to include the mission name, time, difficulty, and player - and nothing else.  I suppose this is up to Ryan.  Let me know and we'll decide whether we need to create an official account or simply endow your account with the honor

theeliteWRvids is the official account and is publicly open to anyone who wants to update it.

user: theeliteWRvids
pass: [expletive]

anyone can edit or update.

I admit to adding titles and whatnot to promote the video a bit, but I can easily edit these to a standard format... the other 57 videos are all in the standard format.

(nothing wrong with a couple of favorited videos... I only have two there and they're both great.)

Someone who isn't Ryan White start uploading the PD vids.

Ensure that none of the videos have someone else's music in it since we don't have enough money to pay for copyrights. If someone like Hugo or Karl approves the usage of one of their songs, then it's alright I suppose, but still keep it minimal.

This is order of priority;

1) fastest captured video
2) if tied, best quality (better pixelrate, no music, better in game sound, etc)
3) if tied, whoever's run shows the world record strategy best
4) if tied, whoever's run is cooler

Oh, format. No worries about back updating them, but going forward I'd keep the titles standardized. And, idea/request: link to the WR video discussion thread to attract random YouTubers into our den of awesomeness. Or just link to the home page (better for SEO). Up to you.

Good call with the link to WR discussion. I already have a link to the-elite.net on the youtube channel page and mention the-elite in every video description but I'll see if I can throw more links around.

Um the password should be hidden from others aloud to view this thread. Dont you guys feel the same way?

Maybe we should just send an email to the 200 or so eliters and issue a new password. I dont like how the password is there for anyone viewing this thread. I think you guys should be a little more aware, especially going "official."

No one checks these boards Sterling, and it doesn't take much effort to change a password.

Ryan or Derek, send me the password for the youtube account, please. I want to take a look on it and see what can be done. Also, do we have all the PD WRs vids available?

I never actually saw the password before Ryan edited it out

...say "edited it out" aloud. I stumbled on it in my own head.

Will all PD records be uploaded then? I think it's a must. I, myself, haven't watched all the records, so all videos gathered in one Youtube account is awesome. Also i think all Taka's wr's should be used because they are good quality.

I guess that, for now, we'll just use the first videos we see that are available. Then, with time, some videos might be replaced by others with better quality.

Some of the vids have music, and you can find some with not. like Defense 52 etc. But in general it's ok.

You mean the music got taken away becasue of copyright issues? Yeah I didn't notice that (well it was 63 videos to upload, I wasn't going to watch all of them anyway), if you find any with that problem, please tell so we can replace those.

Good job Greg! Only little small detail is in the title of Duel PA, because it lacks a colon.

That doesn't mean it's "new."

If you said "that new movie Titanic is really good" or "have you heard that new album by The Beatles... Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts??? It's really good!" then I'm pretty sure people would look at you like a virgin with two heads on prom night.

What would be proper would be to say "I just recently subscribed to theeliteWRvids youtube channel and it is very cool" or something along those lines.
