WorldTV

We were having an issue with Mac and PC Safari where a white screen would sometimes appear if you tried to load the Editor or a WorldTV Channel. This issue has now been fixed.

We set ourselves a deadline of a November launch about two months ago and refined it to November 14th a month back. We’ve been working full time on WorldTV development for a year to get it to this point.

We didn’t get everything into our first release that we wanted to (perhaps unsurprisingly) but we’re happy that the basic ‘Create’ functions are there and relatively appealing to the eyes.

We’ve got a lot more coming in the weeks ahead and improvements are being made all the time. We’re aware of a number of bugs and improvements to be made and are currently working on the following…

• Faster load times for the Create wizard (home page)
• Improving video reliability (eg problems with YouTube videos)
• A directory of public channels that are in the system (The WorldTV ‘Watch’ page)
• A statistics page so you can see how many people are visiting your channel (we are already capturing the data but just need to build a page to present this)
• Improvements to the webcam feature - eg preview video not appearing (a workaround is to first uncheck and then check the preview box after selecting the correct webcam source - esp on Macs)
• Various UI improvements

WorldTV’s forthcoming service was written up on PaidContent.
