Re: Clojure videos no longer downloadable

2011-12-16 Thread Matt Freeman
Here's an idea. Put the videos on a site that has the best CDN reach
(especially noticeable in Asia), does automatic transcoding to lower
resolutions, and most  importantly can jump to any point in the
videos. Works on android, ipod, wp7, and even blackberry. Youve
probably not heard of it, YouTube!

Not sure why people believe its 'cool' niche video sites, worst
offender is Vimeo (absolute crap - some repackage flash player with no
jumping on top of akamai cdn) or Blip (not as bad, but still poor
playback support, none for Android tablets etc..). Youtube is fine.

 the RSS feed is athttp://blip.tv/rss/flash/5399498

 IIRC, the RSS feed has the URL to the actual video.

That's quite handy; thanks.

Even so I'm pretty annoyed that they deleted my account and locked me
out. Not that it necessitates finding a friendlier video host, but I
wanted to just raise awareness of the issue.

Clojure videos no longer downloadable

2011-12-14 Thread Phil Hagelberg
So I recently went to clojure.blip.tv to download a video, and I
noticed my account had been deleted. Apparently they are requiring all
logins to go through facebook.

Is there a way we could provide video downloads to people who don't
have facebook accounts?

I don't know if it helps but I subscribe to the Clojure podcast in
iTunes and it has downloaded all the episodes:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/clojure/id275488598

I don't know how/if that relates to the blip.tv access point.
