New Video Player

Hello All -

We made some long awaited upgrades to our video player this morning. We've fixed a number of the issues that many of you had posted about in the forums and emailed to the support@runitonce.com email address. Without getting too geeky, below is a list of most of the things that the new video player improved on.

- Users may now pause a video indefinitely and return to that spot without the video crashing.
- Seeking to specific times while watching a video is much more accurate. Previously there was a range you would land on and now it is much more dialed to the nearest second.
- Our buffer can now determine how long it needs based on your internet connection. Many users posted/emailed about the video watching experience being choppy. Hopefully this should eliminate that and make for a better experience.

There are a few more minor changes that we made and we still plan on implementing a few other things to make the experience better. If you have any questions or suggestions, fell free to post them in this thread or email me at support@runitonce.com.

Thanks!

Mikey

nickmao @dingdingdong We believe it is an issue with the iPad holding on to old files from the previous video player. We now have an update in that forces it to pull the latest files down. Please let me know if it is working for you now.

Hey Guys -

This problem was the result of our attempted fix on the video player to make our videos compatible with ipads/iphones. It caused the videos not to work on all of the other devices. We have corrected this. If you're still experiencing problems, email support@runitonce.com and we'll get it taken care of. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Would it be posibel to make it so when pausing the video it dosent become so dark th whole screen ?

I often like to pause the video to think about what i would have done, and have better time to look at stack sizes and so on. But when i pause the video, the whole screen becomes somewhat darkish, wich makes it harder to see it.

klondike We made the video player background much lighter and hopefully now it is much easier to read. As always, we appreciate your feedback and patience as we try to continue to make your experience on the site as optimal as possible.

Before the upgrade I couldn't watch on my android phone. Now I can. I use a Samsung Nexus with Chrome Browser.
Just wanted to let you know it is working for some.

In some cases, after pausing, the play button appears directly above the pot size making it either impossible or difficult to see how much is in the pot. Could the play button appear elsewhere or perhaps not at all? :)

I really dig the recent change of brightness level while the video is paused, good work!

Jamie - can you email support@runitonce.com with a description of the issues you are having?  It is difficult to troubleshoot individual problems in the forums.  If it is a problem that many people are experiencing, I will post the solution to the problem after we solve it through our email correspondence.
