Embed fileplay movies

[Jez_Gafys]

Seems silly that we can embed youtube movies but not fileplay on the forums any plans to add this feature?

[Genesis_uK]

yea i noticed the same all you get is a link. the problem with embedding videos is that it does not actually bring much more people to a site compared to the ammount of times they got watched on the said site/forum they where embeded onto. meaning it does not generate enough revenue per hit making it a bit of a waste of time.

I hope they do allow it at some point even if its just to people willing to pay for the ability to embed. im also guessing its to save them incase they ever get any exclusive content.

but fileplay is owned by MPUK as well.....

and they do not get money per hit on the videos on their site...

[Genesis_uK]

yea i know. but when it comes down to bulk views and the future.

im saying if they are looking down the advertiseing route for fileplay then they want more people going on the site... infact i dont really know what im trying to explain im sure most people understand what i was saying in the first post.

It's simply not fully functional at the moment for us to enable it - ie, if we allowed it we wouldn't have control over what happened to it.

Safe to say though, it's coming soon

Everything you can think of for Fileplay, we've already thought of and put into motion!








Mostly :P

Where is mah forum avatar thingy for fileplay?

[K]

In your Fileplay user account, it uses much larger avatars so direct migration at this time wouldnt work well. The other round is a distinct possibility, something for shed / rob to add to the list

[Hg]

and whats with the horrible fileplay subs thingy under our names now in the forums....
I'm a fileplay subscriber and i dont have it under my name, i'm kinda glad about that...

[Storm3y]

I'm on about the fileplay subscriber titles sorry!

[Genesis_uK]

ok think i will stop even thinking of stuff for fileplay.. everything i mention has been already started.

[ShedBOy]

We need to check the DB script that ran cus it seems to have missed off the odd account!

[Jez_Gafys]

I keep contemplating becomming a fileplay subscriber not for any download speeds cause I feel I get full whack all the time on the normal servers but just for early beta access to games.

Also I notice

"Subscription signups are currently disabled but you are working hard to bring them back as soon as possible."


but the buttons appear to work fine?

[Rob]

Where are you seeing that Jez?

[Jez_Gafys]

h4x!

[TommyV]

I know it's only £2 a month, but I don't do enough downloads to justify even spending the £2!

Stingy git i know! Sucks to be missing out on the ub3r avatar things though!

[ShedBOy]

There will be lots more reasons to subscribe soon enough

[Rob]

You'll soon be able to throw rotten food at shed (via me) if you're a paid subscriber to Fileplay. If that's not a reason I don't know what is

Yep some old text left in from the night of the BFBC2 launch when PayPal was having issues, removed it now

On the speed side what's your line speed?

[Jez_Gafys]

Im on 10mb virgin and unless you have recently throttled non subscriber downloads I have normally always got full speed ...

Which I think you may have just looking now I notice "Member - Speed Limited to 200KB/s" Im sure that wasn't there a few weeks ago?? Im deffo sure I used to Get about 1.10-1.20MB/sec download speeds


Curious are movies that are streamed on the same bandwidth for all users or do they take into account you sunscriber status?

[Genesis_uK]

I thought member speed was restricted to 500 >.< but meh subscriber is the way to go

The limit has been updated recently yes. New limits are:

• Public: 100KB/s
• Member: 200KB/s
• Subscriber: Unlimited

[Rob]

Additional to what K mentioned, it also involved altering the queue (by removing it) and increases the availability of mirrors - so far seems to have been much better than seeing 'Over 1 hour' as the queue time

Hopefully. Other than earlier access to some betas there is no appeal atm. Many people if they don't get decent download speeds would just look else where for the file and not subscribe. Can't see anything yet to justify £20/year

During the BF2BC beta (and other times i have noticed) i was getting 5.4MB/s down on a member account. I take it this is not meant to happen?

[Genesis_uK]

Just to let you guys know. the avrage FLV HD movie streams at 2.2mbit

(around 300kbs)
so im guessing its subscribers only that can watch HD without having to wait for it to buffer?

[Rob]

The stream isn't affected by status - the bitrate is actually written on the page ~2mbps + audio and ~0.5mbps + audio (audio on both is 'max')

Nope, I've found and fixed the mirror which was incorrectly configured, thanks for pointing it out

Yesterday day during the early afternoon my Bro was getting about 650 on the capped 200k line
