Does anybody know any good video hosting/streaming solution? Any good flash/html5 video players? The reason is - MadJack's videos were blocked on xtube for no reason. We have some disk space and bandwidth available, so I think why not to host some interesting videos here.

You guessed my question! 😁
I've not had any issues with Xtube previously so am going to re-edit and try again, but would be more than happy to give the Forum total exclusivity 😁

Neither have I.... And what happened is very strange. No explanation given, right?

No, nothing other than the original email I've copid below:
We have received a violation report regarding your video HFO self-bound to a chair.
Depending on the severity of the infraction(s) your video may have been removed from XTube aeady. We recommend visiting your videos if you wish to get more information on the infraction(s) - or if you wish to dispute the infraction.
I have followed both the links they supplied and sent an email disputing the report and requesting some explanation of what I've done that is an infraction of their TOS (so I can fix it). I've also followed up with another email asking them to please reply!

Ps.. I've just re-posted a slightly different version of one of the
offending videos, I wonder how long it will stay up?

How big are your latest videos if saved in MP4? We can try the HTML5 <video> tags. Uploading is another possible issue.

Another solution is
http://www.jwplayer.com/ and
http://mods.mybb.com/view/jwplayer-mycode-embed plugin, but the free version of jwplayer is a bit limited. So, I would try mycode (let's say [mp4 AxB]) and <video> tags first.
Other possibilities are:
http://www.videojs.com/
http://mediaelementjs.com/ (built into WordPress, so it should work by default in the blog)

Is 32MB enough for videos?

The clips work out at approx. 40Mb a minute in the format I currently use - so 32Mb would work, but would limit either quality or length.

Aha, so the standard PHP upload will most likely not work. Two options here: something like Dropbox or FTP to this site (needs to be setup).

I do not like the menu system. I do not like the top part of the site. I do not like the structure. I do not like the internal design of the blog theme.... This is actually why I stopped posting in the blog and was active only in the forum.
I need 6 extra hours a day. Or better 8. Yes 32 hours. 2^5 😁
All your ideas are welcome.
There is even a dedicated thread:
How to improve the site navigation
BTW, if you know a similarly structured site with a good design, please post the URL here.
