Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

Great Idea Pavan. Just one thing though...Will there be blocks on it so that people can't post videos not pertaining to robotics? Because if not, I gaurantee someone will put one on there. Just my thoughts, but awesome idea, I'm going!

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

This is an incredible idea.

Period.

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

Yes sir! I am hoping that for the most part, people will flag videos inapporpriate (You see a link to report at the bottom of the video page) but once we get enough people I will ask some CD mods or some active FT people to help moderate and delete videos.

yes were using ffmpeg (very hard to get to run on a 1and1 Linux package. one of the reasons for the lack of thumbnails is that we cannot (as of yet) get the php-ffmpeg extension to work properly. that may also be causing the 1 minute time limit.

If anyone has experience using ffmpeg and or has a server location that we can get access to install ffmpeg to that would be great (as i said the files can be hosted at different locations so it will not be a huge amount of bandwidth, basically all initial uploads and then sending the files to a different server)

also how much is your dedicated server? im seeing if i can find a server that will do the converting and then upload the files to other servers as more space is required.

Awesome Idea!

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

VERY cool concept! I can't wait to see it when it's fully developed! You can be NYC/NJ FIRST will link to it for a helpful resource in the future!

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

I've been playing with the different upload formats. mpg and avi are working, except for the St. Louis videos on SOAP these are made with DIVX, you might want to try to update your video codecs on the server. Do you have a way of viewing which codecs you support ?

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

This is really sweet. Cant wait till its fully running. :D

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

So far, yes I know it's still being worked on, but are there still only 3 videos?:confused:

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

(happy b-day, btw)
well, the first time i heard about it was now. and i assume most FIRSTers weren't told till this afternoon. it'll be booming in a few weeks.

this is crazy awesome.

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

Very cool, I just added it to my favorites! I will defiantly use this.

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

So I just tried accessing FIRSTtube from school, and received the following message:
:(

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

This just means that your school's internet policy only allows categorized websites and from there on it filters it, I guess. FIRSTTube just needs to categorize their website as "robotics" or something like that. If it can be done, I don't know anything about this stuff. Just reasoned assumption.

Re: FIRSTTube! - Are you tube enough?
 

Thank you very much. I will see that this problem gets taken care of soon. If anybody else has problems like these please let me know. Also if this site is blocked at your school send me a personal message and I will send you an email to send to your administers to get it unbanned. If you read our ToS, we are school friendly. :)

Thanks guys, without you guys we wouldn't be here!

Pavan.
