I'm not following you on that portion.

To me, it looks like you are saying to manually type the full path to the flv file in the playlist. While this would work, it would be a static approach that would have to be repeated for each video, which could get to be very time consuming. I'm not seeing how it would dynamically call any particular video a person may try to view on the site.

Am I overlooking something?
Your not overlooking anything :( At the moment it is a manual process for every video you want to add pre or post to.
The only thing I noticed was the double http:// - At the moment we need to manually type every thing in.

With this selecting your main video would be smart but I think having a separate upload and convert function for the ads would be better as we don't want ads displayed in their own right as SportsGaming suggests.

The fact that I needed to rename the video to to .xml should make it easier. If every upload created it's own xml file on the fly as part of the convert process, Admin could then give us an 'edit xml' option which may be easier to implement. Again with access in Misc settings.

All we need to start with is a basic function which we can improve in later releases. I say this because some advertisers will want pre roll and some post. And while I understand that some people will go for the one ad suits all philosophy I think we need to have all options available on a per video basis. Let's face it from a marketing point of view it would be easier to sell insurance space over an accident video than a porn vid - Advertisers can be funny people when it comes to image and branding if you get what I mean.

We're on the road now and in manual first gear. The main point is we're heading in the right direction.

What do you think Admin?
