New Video Hosting Features

Whew! I feel like I've been running a non-stop marathon the last few months. In March, iPlayerHD conducted a survey asking our customers to tell us which of 34 potential features they wanted most. Well, you responded and made your voices heard. Since then, we've added over a dozen new features and we're not done yet. Here's the list so far:

• Delete multiple files in your Library.
  This makes your life so much easier.
• You may now integrate Google Analytics into every Video.
  Track your videos wherever they are embedded.
• The percentage of each video viewed is now displayed on your Videos page.
  Now you'll know which videos are worth keeping and which may be broomed.
• Option to restrict video URLs by Password.
  It's like Fort Knox for your videos.
• Option to restrict embedding by domain.
  It's like Fort Knox for your embeds. 
• Option to restrict viewing by password.
  Give your viewers the key to Fort Knox.
• A major workflow change.
  After encoding, we create an embeddable Video and a Playlist page for quick viewing.
• Choosing Videos for Playlists is much easier.
  No more dragging and dropping. Just choose.
• Facebook embedding.
  We still have a bug in this but we'll fix it in the next few days.
• Video history.
  All of your videos now have a view history going back to their date of upload.
• Video SEO
  You now have the tools to uniquely optimize all of your Videos.
• HTTPS option.
  If you need to embed on secure pages, choose this option.

Coming soon:

• End of Video post roll.
  These will be call to action links.
• Social bar
  If you enable this, your viewers may embed your Videos on any page or blog and share them on Facebook, Twitter and others.
• Video popover lightbox.
  This makes embedding easy on crowded web pages.
• Dramatic new customizable playlists for embedding. These will be REALLY COOL. We're saving the best for last.

That's it for now. Gotta take a nap.

Cheers.
