Anytime - that should've been in the top 15. Shame the promotion wasn't more effective.

hey Lucky,

I was dead hunting and found this weird anomaly:
http://videosift.com/video/Darth-Vader-cheats-at-golf-30-sec

Using noredirect lets you load the page and see what caused the problem:
http://videosift.com/video/Darth-Vader-cheats-at-golf-30-sec?noredirect

Apparently KP used the dupeof command on his own vid, but instead of pointing to the original, he pointed it back to itself. In case it's not there already, the dupeof command needs another check to make sure the argument isn't the same url as the one it's being invoked upon. (hope that makes sense )

And lastly, I don't suppose 11 votes are much to worry about, but the 11 votes on KP's killed vid should have been transferred to punk225's.

I thought so too. Thanks!

Looks like they were all dead videos that weren't likely to be revived.

What's with the mass *discard and *kill spree on your videos?

Hobbled for now until we sort this out. If you'd like to commit Sift-suicide, please don't take all your videos with you.

If it helps, focus on the funky organ grinding during the chorus....

Hiya swampy...

I think even Freddie would have trouble keeping up with Ms. Blackburn.

That's a pro tip. I'll have to remember that one.

/smh - so once it's updated, it can't be fixed? sorry joe. Anyway, you should be able to replace it with that image.

I don't really know of any hosts in particular, other than NPR I guess, that I'd want supported. Is the host required to have a Flash embed for it to work at all? I thought that for the few hosts you mentioned below were supported "Flash free".

I don't know the details of the security issues with iframes, but it seems that at worst VideoSift itself would be a conduit (or host) for malicious code - your own servers wouldn't be liable to attack from any embed, would they? In any case, it has to be something malicious used as an embed (knowingly or not), so at the very least, you probably want to limit iframe submission to, I don't know, silver stars and up?

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
The reason we've been so willing to accept the iframe hosts we accept now is they can readily be converted between iframe and Flash embeds given just a video ID.

We can consider accepting more iframes, maybe as part of VideoSift 5. Maybe make your recommendations there for new iframe hosts we should accept.

I, personally, am always hesitant to add iframes because they open a gateway onto videosift through which demons and goblins may spew forth.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
Is there any chance of supporting more iframe hosts in the (near) future? I heard a great story about Igudesman & Joo tonight on NPR, and found a great video of them at the NPR studios performing, but it was iframe only (akaik).

There are more hosts than just YouTube that you can watch without Flash. In addition to YouTube and Vimeo, we support College Humor, Funny or Die, and Daily Motion.
