MTV Videos : early attempts at hackery

Nick Taylor | Uncategorized | Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

MTV have just released all their videos, so I thought I’d see if it worked

I don’t know how this’ll go… it’s good of them an all, but I suspect very strongly that this will mean a migration of content from MTV to Youtube… because the entire point is to copy->morph->release->copy->morph->release.

Hmmm… not as big as I thought. Lets see if we can’t hack it up a bit:

Well that’s fairly cool - I don’t know if you can do that with Youtube. Mind you, I’ve never tried. The non-read-ahead thing is kindof fucked. If you’ve got a slow connection you need to be able to pause it and download a big chunk before you click play.

Ohhhh kaaaaaayyyy… can we do full screen?

Yes we can. That’s quite cool as well.

Mind you, you could just click the “full screen button”, but well… you know… whatever.
