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.

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).

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
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.

That's exactly what I was wondering. I would have invoked *blocked if you were somewhere outside the US.

The video has been blank for me at two different locations, so I'm not sure the reason. It's a weird situation because it's definitely *dead for some places... Oh well, I guess I'll invoke *blocked, but I won't *dupeof my post until the original has a working embed.

New Orleans.... it can't be blocked in SoCal and not here, can it?
