iPlayer's New Features for 2010

Happy, Happy New Year!

Near the end of 2009 we upgraded iPlayerHD accounts from 5 GB of storage and 20 GB of bandwidth to 30 GB of storage and 40 GB of bandwidth. That was an exciting way to end our year. 2010 also looks to be very exciting for iPlayer and it's subscribers as we'll be adding cool new features, many designed to simplify your work flow. These features include:

• You will no longer have to encode your own videos. iPlayerHD will encode your videos for you to H264 MP4 in multiple bit rates including a Mobile version. We'll maintain your option to endode your own.
  
  
• The option to batch upload your videos directly into Media Files and then drag and drop them into your Channels.
  
  
• Advanced Statistics which agregate data over indefinite time.
  
  
• The option to add clickable links such as logos, images and text to your videos.
  
  
• The option to batch upload your videos directly into Media Files and then drag and drop them into your Channels.
  
  
• The option to add multiple users to your account - each with a unique login and password. As the Master Account, you'll have access to your users videos but your users will only have access to their videos.
  
  
• The option to add multiple categories in the form of tabs, to your embeddable Playlists.
  
  
• We'll grab frames from your video for you to use as Splash images. We'll maintain your option to upload your own.
  
  
• We'll grab frames from your video for you to use as Thumbnail images. We'll maintain your option to upload your own.

These will roll out over the next several months - watch for emails announcing each upgrade as they are ready to use. If you have a suggestion for a feature you would like us to consider, please shoot us an email.

Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Have a great 2010!

Cheers.
