Author Topic: the-elite.net's New Blog - YouTube video feed (Read 956 times)

Imperfect Clark · « **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.)

Will this include PD vids as well?

vitor · « **Reply #3 on:** October 11, 2009, 04:59:00 pm »

Well, it should :P Someone got to be in charge of this

RWG · « **Reply #4 on:** October 11, 2009, 08:26:00 pm »

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

Yeah, I second this. Thanks for the login, Ryan.

Imperfect Clark · « **Reply #6 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:21:00 am »

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.

RWG · « **Reply #7 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:45:00 am »

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."

vitor · « **Reply #9 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:50:00 am »

^ good point

RWG · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2009, 03:56:00 pm »

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

Imperfect Clark · « **Reply #11 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:27:00 pm »

Ryan didn't post the real one, obviously.

vitor · « **Reply #12 on:** November 05, 2009, 06:11:00 pm »

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?

AT-Allianz · « **Reply #13 on:** November 05, 2009, 06:40:00 pm »

Taka has on his signature this link
There are a bunch of videos, I don't know if they are the ones with the best quality but....

Imperfect Clark · « **Reply #14 on:** November 05, 2009, 08:51:00 pm »

I never actually saw the password before Ryan edited it out

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

Get on AIM sometime.

Yeah well remembered mcdonald's dude, that page has most of the current WRs, we can use that. And ok goose, I try to catch up with you later. I'm online (on AIM from gmail) most of the day, though, so if you see me online just im me.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #17 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:07:00 am »

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.

vitor · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:11:00 am »

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.

vitor · « **Reply #19 on:** November 07, 2009, 09:25:00 pm »

PD WR VIDEOS ARE ONLINE!!!1

Tell me if you find anything wrong. I did everything preety mechanical, so I might have forgotten something.

50 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2009, 01:05:00 pm »

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

vitor · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2009, 01:53:00 pm »

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.

Worlds-One · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2009, 02:35:00 pm »

Good work greg, elite is definately coming along with everyone pitching in! Good work guys

Red Bull · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2009, 02:40:00 pm »

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

vitor · « **Reply #24 on:** November 08, 2009, 06:55:00 pm »

Thanks guys. And the duel title is fixed!

Matis · « **Reply #25 on:** November 10, 2009, 08:34:00 pm »

i love the new channel with youtube. its freaking awesome

RWG · « **Reply #26 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:02:00 pm »

It's 2 years old Matis...

Matis · « **Reply #27 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:28:00 pm »

I've only been subscribed to it for about month. It's all new to me.

RWG · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:43:00 pm »

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.

Matis · « **Reply #29 on:** November 11, 2009, 06:19:00 am »

listen, you know what i mean so stop being a dick about it.

Red Bull · « **Reply #30 on:** November 11, 2009, 09:10:00 am »

Oh Greg.. I think you uploaded Taka's Air Base 2:05, and not mine. However, it says that it was done by me.

vitor · « **Reply #31 on:** November 11, 2009, 11:28:00 am »

Haha really? That was the name on the movie I downloaded, sorry. I'll upload yours right now.

Red Bull · « **Reply #32 on:** November 11, 2009, 03:12:00 pm »

Mine is in black and white.

vitor · « **Reply #33 on:** November 11, 2009, 05:42:00 pm »

I like you more :P
