Build your own youtube site in 5 minutes!

Very great. Good work on sharing it

 

Hmm.. really interesting piece of work. Is there any chance to get it free - for review of course

 

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. As for trading my now 9 month long project for a review, I think I might pass . On that note, I would really love for a DP member to review my site. I can do some bartering and make it worth your wild.

OK instead of sleeping last night I pushed out a update. Anyone like/dislike digg?

A Update for those who care
Related Stories from Digg.com (experimental) for video

I am not too sure if I am love or hate this feature. I am a big fan of digg and I wanted diggs stories that relate to the video to be display. This could slow the site down if Digg is having scaling issues or could confuse the non-techy user. I could leave it as an option that the user will have to turn on instead of having it by default. Sorry if I am not making any sense it is 8am and I need my coffee.

 

Yes you are going to run into issues with finding a cheap host. If you are going for a video hosting site like youtube then you are going to need ffmpeg installed. This is a CPU hog and most share hosts will stay away from it. Your solution is to get a self manage server for around $100 a month.

myVidster has ffmpeg install (it took me 2 days to figure it out) and is on a self manage server. I am using it to extract thumbnails from WMV/MOV/DIVX movies and I may allow transcoding in the future.

Honesty do we need another youtube?

 

Update (for those who care).

I have been away from the myVidster project to working on another project (this one was paid). I am now finished with the first phase of the project and I am now back to work on myVidster.

Updates
I added a new logo (old one needed more color).
Made the homepage more attractive (more color and added more links to click on).
Videos can be downloaded and converted to any format (intergratated media-convert.com). Note this does not work for google video, but it does for all other flash videos like youtube, myspace, etc.

 

Is this a script or a website? I'm looking for all that on a script to be used on my website. I do not want to depend on a third party.

 

lol , this is cool , thanks for sharing

 

It's really very helpful.. Thank you for the share

 

For now it is a website, but I am working on a public API. PM if you are interested in being a beta tester for the API.

 

Err..What script of this..? Is all video from youtube..?

 

myvidster will handle all video hosts.

 

And if you get a shared hosting for Clipshare you will usually have trouble...they could be good for tests but for production I wouldn't recommend.

You need a dedicated hosting account...where you can install whatever you want.

 

I think you have competition for your script: www.startyourtube.com

 

great site and template
i love it man !

 

gr8 site!!!!!!!

 

wow. incredible.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!!! I notice a few new users checking out myvidster (dp users?). There was a small issue with the video thumbnail creation, but I fixed it. I had to upgrade my version to Flash on the server (from V7 to V9) and optimize the code.

I will have an open API done (in beta) done, by this weekend, sorry for the delay.

What the API will do is provide video information (embed code, thumbnail and video download link) by providing a link to the webpage where the video resides. I hope that explanation makes sense. I had a full lunch and I am half awake.

 

could this be used for any site? like redtube (adult)?

 

Yes it can. http://www.myvidster.com/video/3748 (NSFW)

For redtube, you will need to paste the embed code in the myvidster bookmarklet (pop up window), because the embed code cannot be found on the source pages (redtube stores the embed code in a another page on their site).

For most sites this extra step should not be needed.

 

marques, you solved a very annoying problem for a lot of people. I would recommend selling the script to webmasters and let them offer this service to people. That should slowly start paying your bills. Hopefully you can start doing it full time.

Try looking into topmediascript.com. The current version is supported by majority of the web hosts.
