Design for filtering and search
You might have noticed that we just changed the design for searching, filtering and grouping videos in the 23 Video back-end. With real-time search and clever filtering this nice little upgrade makes it even easier to browse through your videos.
OAuth authentication with Visualplatform.js
Visualplatform.js is our library for working with the 23 Video API on the client-side (and actually on the server-side with Node.js, but who's counting?). It's a pretty flexible tool, and forms the basis for a lot of our own work already: Players, action editors, analytics browsing, live search and more. It's also an obvious tool for light-weight integration of 23 Video into other side -- for example if you want to show a list of thumbnails linking back to the video website and so on. So much for what used to be -- because the big news is that we've added support for OAuth authentication to the library now. This means that the library can be used for building much more complex web apps integration deeper features for 23 Video. For example upload apps, comment editors, video thumbnail pickers, or whatever you want. Read more about how to use OAuth with our API and how it works in JavaScript
HTML blocks are liquid capable
Did you know that you can write liquid within floating html blocks? All the variables from the current page are available to the blocks. Make grids much more flexible and allowing you to create even more advanced video websites.
New API method: /api/photo/get-transcoding-progress
We have added a new API method to get the transcoding progress of a video. This method lists the status of all formats and tasks related to the video in question and an estimate of when the item is going to be done.
Easier to share download links
Recently we updated how we handle download of videos in the 23 Video backend.
The procedure is the same; Choose a video in the backend of your video website, click the "Download" option in the left sidebar, find a list of all formats available for that video and choose the format of your choice. The difference though is that the file now downloads directly to disk when clicking this link, instead of playing in the browser as it used to.
This makes it much easier to share download links to your audience.
Custom styled e-mails
We are rolling out letting users create custom styled e-mails, sent from 23 Video. The first one out is the mail sent to as new users are invited to the platform.
Just like any other part of your 23 Video site, you can now use css and liquid to modify the design. And, you can always check what the emails currently look like by clicking « show preview mail». Find the email template available for styling under Design -> Templates -> E-mails.
Accessibility in players
By the first of July 2014 all new norwegian websites are required to be accessible for vision and hearing impaired — and many other government institutions follow similar guidelines. That is one of the reasons why we’ve made a bunch of accessibility upgrades to our players. Optimized for vision and hearing impaired users, our players now includes keyboard shortcuts for navigation, volume, subtitles and text-labels for screen readers.
Twitter Cards
Did you know that we support Twitter Cards? Have Twitter verify your 23 Video account and make sure all tweets linking back to your account will be rich media friendly and have the video included -- driving even more video traffic to your site. Looks nice, right?
Player update: tray and cursor
We have improved showing and hiding of controls in the player — making the tray automatically hidden as the mouse leaves the player. In the same time we also make sure that the cursor is displayed and hidden along intelligently.
A simple but nice little update, making sure viewing isn't being disturbed by control elements like these -- creating even better video experiences for the end-user.
4K Video Resolution
We are rolling out support for 4K video (Ultra High Definition), replacing 1080p as the highest-resolution signal available thru 23 Video. 4K resolution refers to a display, device or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels. Amongst others, this is a exciting update for the ones using distribution points like Apple TV, iTunes or Airplay, reaching TV's screen with a minimum UHD resolution set. Please let us know if you want to become a beta tester and we’ll make it happen.
Link directly to a specific time
We have added the ability to link directly to a specific time in a video. An example is how Roskilde Festival is using this. Not only are they using our feature Sections (read more about this here) allowing visitors to browse thru a track list of songs, but also using the URL it self to link to as specific song, moment or memory in one of their festival videos.
Simply add the timecode using a column to separate minutes from seconds and you are good to go: http://roskilde-festival.tv/vinnie-who/8:43
Ten languages
Did you know that we translated the platform into italian? We now offer 23 Video in ten different languages, and more to come.
To change the language go to Settings -> Language and timezone and choose your language of choice.
Addio!
Big news on video protection
We are exited about having released a whole new way of doing video protection and access maneuvering in 23 Video. Perviously supporting out of the box access restrictions on site level, we now also offer support video-level access restrictions:
Geo-blocking - Only visitors from specified geographic regions are allowed to play the video.
Password protection - Visitors need to input a password to play the video.
Custom API protection - Visitors need to be authenticated through your own servers to play video.
Paywall integrations - Read more about this here.
To start playing with this feature you simply log in to your 23 Video account, click the video you want to protect and choose the option suitable for your video distribution.
All new comments
You may have noticed that we recently updated the comments function? For 23 Video users this means goodies like more design options, a brand new user interface and several options for social log-in. If you have an 23 Video account your username will automatically be detected as you are commenting. For your audience you can offer of a range of log-in options like Twitter, Facebook, Github and more. As a moderator you can have direct conversations with your audience, as the comments now are updated live. You'll also have the option of promoting specific comments on your page.
The comment field is now rich media-friendly. Simply add your photos, articles, links and videos. Your link will automatically be shortened, matching the title of the media you are adding. You are now probably wondering how to get it; When adding a comments layout-block to your video website you will automatically be updated with the newest version. Meaning — if you already have comments activated on your site simply de-activate it when adding the new block. Go to Design -> Layout in your 23 Video backend to get started and ping us if you have any questions.
Enjoy!
Social media sign-in
We have added more options for logging in and signing up to your 23 Video backend. You can now sign-up with a range of social media services; Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Github and LinkedIn.
Manage sign-in options in your user settings. Here you simply choose which sign-in options you want to activate for your site. You may also choose weither or not visitors are allowed to register for accounts themselves. You'll find the user settings here: https://yoursite.com/manage/user/settings
Find your log-in page simply by adding «/login» to the end of the domain of your video website.
And one more thing — we recently extended the support for custom-designed landing pages for sign up, log in and forgotten password pages. Read more about this.
Paywalls using Cleeng
We've been playing with paywalls, payments and subscriptions for video by integrating Cleeng with 23 Video. Just like our two customers The Standard and the Swedish hunting community Bearplay is doing, you can now offer parts of your video content for purchase directly in the player.
Ping us if you have a project where you’d like to try out this new feature and one of our Humans will help you get started.
Custom-designed pages
We have extended our support for custom design on some of our default landing pages. This means that you now also fully manage the look and feel of log in, sign up and forgotten password pages.
Find the pages under Design -> Templates. Modify the design using HTML, Liquid and style it with CSS — just like you can with any other part of the 23 Video website.
Notice that your styling will only take effect if the user settings are modified to allow for custom-designed pages: https://yoursite.com/manage/user/settings
