Blogr Update Xmas 07

admin — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 14:31:26 +0100

Dear blogr-User,

Yesterday night (21st of December, 2007) we performed another update of the blogr service.

The most important change is that now all our blogr-installations share the same user-database. This means, that a user that is for example registered at blogr.com, can now also authenticate at all the other available blogr-domains, such as blogr.at, blogr.de,...

A newly added feature, is the possibility to add Pages to your Site. See the new item in your menu, resp. also see the PageWidget.

Additionally we finally activated Spam Protection for Comments.

Merry Xmas!

your blogr team

Video Update

admin_com — Wed, 31 May 2006 13:58:31 +0200

Some of you reported problems with the encoding of uploaded videos like very low frame rate, or missing sound. Most of these bugs should be gone. We are now using a different encoder for some of the formats. We also increased the quality (data rate) of the encoded videos which makes them look much better when streched to the size of the video player.

We currently use FlowPlayer for embeding videos. This is a very simple and easy player, but also has some limitations. So we are currently developing a replacement for that. This should also fix the aspect ratio problem with videos that are not 4:3.

Bugfixes and upcoming features

Yesterday and today we checked in some bugfixes.

The WYSIWYG editor was updated and a lot of bugs that had been introduced with the switch to TinyMCE 2.0 some time ago where fixed. We also added the possibility to paste in embed/object tags (and whatever tag you like) via the HTML button.
One problem is remaining: When you use the editor you shouldn't open the Javascript console on firefox.

We also introduced a fallback for Windows Media Player on firefox for AVI files. SO if you use that configuration - now it should load the player again.

And one more small, but important bugfix: The icon for the size control on the image list pages was missing ... shame on me!

So, what's next?

There are some exciting features in the pipeline:

Bodi is working on albums
Max and Michi are working on Flash Videos - realy cool. That will also lead to better looking
Me and Markus are working on the service navigation (toolbar)
We also work on the general layout of sites. We got a lot of feedback, that you are missing the possibility to change the layouts. The improvement of this feature will be a slow process, and we ask for your patience. It's just a lot harder to maintaine a lot of different designs, and the HTML/CSS structure for the site layouts is not yet stable enough.

Another Update

Just made another update here.

New features include:

improved detail informations on image view page
added an image details page with exif data and more
some minor improvements to media lists and views
AND: drumroll!
dynamic list resizing for photocast (photo list)

please give it a try, and like always: feedback is welcomed.

p.s.
The last video update wasn't perfect enough. The problem is that the support for Windows Media Player on Firefox is realy bad. We are investigating for a "better" solution, until we are switching to Flash Video.
