Put the "You" back into Youtube with Martell TV video app + website |
|
In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4iFgQwjyTs 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: Help us revolutionize Youtube again with http://www.indiegogo.com/martelltv/x/215096 Re-share our video, comment, make video responses, and pledge to support our project! Together we can make a difference! We Think Youtube's Layout Sucks! And we aren't the only ones. According to Google Search there are 473,000 matches for the exact keyword phrase "Youtube layout sucks". Bear in mind, that is 473,000 people who actually took the time to type their contempt for the layout. There are legions more who don't verbalize what we all know to be true: Youtube's layout sucks. And it's not getting any better. Youtube's team did a reddit thread a week ago, and the feedback is overwhelming that people don't like the new layout, and want more control over their site experience than Google is giving them. There is an old saying that tells us to, "be the change we want to see in the world". We want a new layout, so we're going to make one! One of the biggest problems with video players these days is there are too many unnecessary things to click on. Our video player is very simple; after selecting an episode from the video guide menu, you can skip episodes or backup to watch previous episodes, similar to how you would if you're familiar with DVR. The difference here is that the videos are pulled from indie creators on Youtube and blip.tv Furthermore, rather than have a bunch of silly buttons for 'like', 'dislike', 'favorite' and 'share with Facebook / Twitter / etc', our player has a single 'Like' button. When you click our 'like' button, your Youtube channel will 'like' the video and add it to your 'favorites'. Your Facebook and Twitter profiles will also share the video with your social network. PLUS if your Youtube channel isn't already, you'll become subscribed to the channel that made the video you liked! All in one go! You'll even be able to customize the message you send to your social network when you share the video with your friends. (Note: You will have the option to choose what happens when you like a video. If you don't want to auto-subscribe, you won't have to. You'll be able to uncheck a box for that option. This is just the default setting.) With Martell TV, watching and sharing videos will never be complicated ever again! Finally, you'll be able to comment on the video directly from the Martell TV app by just pausing the video and using the 'Comment on this' function! One of the challenges of getting people to watch videos is to let them be discovered. The biggest problem with Youtube Search is that videos can last anywhere from 10 seconds to an hour, yet no matter how long the video lasts, the video takes up the same amount of space in the Youtube search page! This results in the user being overwhelemed by too many videos, and they don't click on all the videos that appear in the search results. There is simply too many choices for them to make! Our solution to this problem is to allow multiple videos of varying duration to be bundled together into what we call an 'episode container'. These containers have their own names in the channel timeline but can include enough videos to create 30 minute or 1 hour blocks of programming. So, for example, you could combine 6 game review videos each lasting 5 minutes to create a half-hour 'Game Review' episode container that airs between 3 pm and 3:30 in your guide timeline.
