We are equally pleased to announce three new additions to our supported sites.  Vimeo is showing hockey stick growth and popularity and has been an early adopters “video must”.  Brazil is now a huge region of WorldTV users so we have dutifully added Dada and Leechvideo to our list of supported sites to hopefully offer a wider variety of content for our Brazilian/Portuguese channel creators and viewers.

WorldTV Technical

There’s still a few things we want to do to improve it further but we wanted to bring you the main improvements right away. Notably the issues that many people were having with audio should now be fixed, we’ve simplified the interface to make it easier to use, and we’ve added visual feedback for volume so you know the audio is working.

Please give the webcam feature a try and let us know any issues or thoughts you have in the comments section below. Some more technical details follow…

Technical – We have removed the resolution options as they were confusing for many people. We have set the resolution and quality to fixed values which should work well for most people in most situations. We plan to improve on this by adding a feature that will auto-test your upload bandwidth upon initialization of the webcam and set the quality and resolution accordingly. This will mean that everyone gets the best possible quality for their connection speed. Naturally people’s internet connections vary a great deal in terms of speed, particularly when it comes to upload speed. This is the relevant aspect for recording video into our site. There is a known issue which remains relating to very short clips. In this situation you may experience the WorldTV buffering logo appearing, although this doesn’t affect the recorded clip.

Tonight we moved all our DNS hosting over to a company called UltraDNS who handle hosting for MySpace, Amazon, Oracle, Digg and other major websites. Basically it means that accessing the website should be just a little bit zippier for our friends in far flung places, and make it generally more reliable. It’s also more secure, meaning our site is less vulnerable to so called DNS attacks.

UltraDNS operate servers all over the world, and although electricity travels at the speed of light, the milliseconds it takes to travel from one side of the world to the other (and back) can add up. By having servers located closer to our friends and users, we can reduce that.

Our new partnership with UltraDNS is all part of our never ending desire to increase the reliability and performance of our service. We’re proud to be in such prestigious company as the excellent sites above.

By default the WorldTV system has a limit of displaying 100 clips in the Library and the Playlist (total 200 clips).

If you want to upgrade your Editor to 500 clips in the Library and Playlist (total 1000) you can now do so for a one-time fee of $10.

If you add more than 100 clips to either the Playlist or the Library (or both), older clips may disappear from view. The older ones are still ‘in the system’ however, and if you delete newer clips, the older ones will reappear.

We’ve also added an Editor’s Pick icon for channels that we think are cool.

Watching channels from around the World can be addictive!

Have a wonderful holidays and don’t forget to show your relatives how easy it is to create their own channel on WorldTV!
