A program to view DVC entries

Benjamin Durin · November 9th, 2007, 10:09 AM

Thanks, Chris.

Lorinda, I noticed you used the keyword "DVChallenge4Winner" for "Soot Happens". I originally thought using the keyword "winner" for winners. "DVChallenge4Winner" is not very practical for me, however I could do with "DVChallengeWinner". Would that be acceptable for you?

Benjamin.

It's changed now, Benjamin. Nice 'n simple. :)

Thanks. Now I just have to wait the update on my end.

I hope you are all enjoying the program. I had the pleasure to see that even more people added their entries.
I didn't post any updates for a long time but I was not sleeping. I was working on a few enhancements. The two major features you will see soon are:
- it will be possible to see the author's details available in Youtube. Things like age, location, website may be displayed if you provided them in your Youtube profile.
- the shooting location of an entry will be displayed using Google maps, if and only if the location has been entered. For now, besides me, only one other has entered geolocation.
So people, you know what you have to do: Go and update your profile (if you have a website to promote, that's a good way...). Enter the location of your entries (go to My Account/My Videos/Edit video info/Date and Map options).

I know a lot of you are busy trying to deliver an entry for DVC11. Good luck to all and don't forget to put the right keywords (DVC11 and thedvchallenge) when you upload your video.

The next update should be ready in a few days.

Benjamin.

Cool Josh, the next version (I hope to release it next week) should also work fine with Leopard.

Benjamin,
I don't think we have met but I used to hang around here a lot a few challenges ago. I have uploaded the one missing DVChallenge piece (thanks to Martin) to YouTube along with my other pieces. I was in DVC2 through DVC8 I believe. You can parse away on my pieces if you like. Does the viewer do the search or do you have to "push" the info to it?

I need to look into this app as this is something we might make use of at work. You can find all my pieces, hopefully tagged correctly under DeepBlueEdit on Youtube.

Feel free to let me know if you can't find them or I need to do something different for you. Great idea this app. Might go better embedded in a web page but I don't know if that's possible. This is the first I have seen anyone work with it. Good job.

Sean

Yes I did, but you haven't received a reply yet because I'm way behind on email. I've been out of town for several days and am still trying to get caught up -- will answer you a.s.a.p.,

Benjamin Durin · December 8th, 2007, 02:14 AM

Sean, yes I remember you. I was just telling myself recently that you didn't participate in a DVC for a long time. Then I saw your post and now I know why.

For the program, this is how it works. It will look for Youtube videos with the tag "thedvchallenge" and "DVC1" or "DVC2", etc. So I don't need to push the videos but they must be correctly tagged.

Your entries seem to be tagged fine but it always need some time before it is available in Youtube's feeds (and even more in Taiwan!).

With a few modifications, this program could be embedded in a web page as a Flash movie actually. I prefer having it as a desktop program but if several persons tell me they'd like a web version, I will start thinking about it.

Benjamin Durin · December 8th, 2007, 04:25 AM

Sean, I can see your entries in the program, even in Taiwan yes.
So it's all good.

In the next version, winning entries will have a medal...

Benjamin Durin · December 13th, 2007, 01:57 AM

Chris, still behind on email?
The new version is ready to be launched, only waiting for you. Do you feel the pressure? Not yet?
Well, the DVC 11 is about to finish and everybody will want to use the DVC Entry Viewer to view the entries. Even those who didn't participate. Mmmh, that's a huge pressure.
I am sure it is already too much to bear now. Time to press 'refresh' for my email...
