    As many of you may know, our Video Portal has not been offering the best of services as of late. The staff have long discussed replacing it, but have struggled to find the best solution. Today we're proud to announce our new Video Portal!

    You can reach it by clicking the 'Video Portal' tab on the navigation bar underneath the banner, or by simply clicking HERE.

    Features:
    • Video Submission: Video Submission now can only be done via links to the video hosted elsewhere (the option to upload directly from your machine does not currently exist, unfortunately). On the bar underneath the main navigation, there is the 'Submit Media' button.
      [​IMG]
      From there, you can enter the link to the video, and edit the information that will appear on our Video Portal.
      Currently, we support videos from DailyMotion, Megavideo, Metacafe, uStream, Veoh, Vimeo, and most of all, YouTube!
    • Categories: For your submitting and viewing convenience, videos can now be sorted into categories! We also have set aside a category for us to submit all of our Cutscenes and Boss Battles--so if you're ever bored, you can simply sit back and enjoy some Kingdom Hearts videos!
    • Favorites: You can now build a list of your favorite videos on the KH-Vids Video Portal! To favorite a video, simply click the small heart icon at the upper left of the video:

      Don't want the video anymore? No problem! Simply unclick the heart.
    • Playlists: You can also create playlists of videos for even more organization!
    • Random Media: Don't know what you want to watch today? Hitting our Random Media button will generate any video from what I'm sure will be a bustling Video Portal for you to view.
    • Commenting: Want to leave the video's creator a little feedback? Leave them a comment!
    • Subscriptions: With the new Video Portal, you will be automatically subscribed to each of your submissions. What does this mean? You'll receive a private message everytime someone comments on your video. If you don't like this feature, then you can by all means remove a video from your subscriptions via the Subscriptions page!
    • Search: Looking for a video from a specific game? Want to see a Riku centered video? Just put your search terms into the search box and start viewing.
    • Statistics: To the right of our Video Portal, you can see who our Top 10 Contributors are (something to strive for!), how many videos are in our Portal, how many times videos have been commented on, and more!
    • Report Media: Find something you don't think is appropriate? Hit the Report button and one of our moderators will review it!
    • Complete Forum Integration: The new portal attaches right to the Forum, so what does this mean? For one thing, you only have one login on KH-Vids. Secondly, on your Profiles there is now a 'Media' tab that displays all of your uploads! And if you use a style other than the default, the Video Portal will match it!

    But where did the old Video Portal go!?
    Still need to retrieve some stuff from there? Want to access it for any reason at all? No problem! Though we will no longer support the old video portal, you can still visit it HERE.

    I've found a problem in the new Portal / I need help!
    The Portal is still very new--it has been tested, but problems may still exist. If you come across one, please let us know, either via a message to a staff member or by simply posting in this thread.
    If you need additional help, please feel free to ask in this thread!

    Hope you all enjoy it, and get uploading!

      Does this mean the top 5 will be coming back?

      That's up to Fayt in the end, but I think he intends to.

      So I'm guessing we'll have to wait to upload stuff? I keep getting this message.

      Syndication of this video was restricted by its owner.

      Did you disable embedding on the video you're trying to add? Is it set to Private?
    5. ♥♦♣♠∟uxord♥♦♣♠
      ♥♦♣♠∟uxord♥♦♣♠
      I know its on public. And I don't even know how to disable embedding so I doubt I did that.

      No problem. I'm just glad that the problem was handled now instead of later. Don't want any complaints do we?

      EDIT: This is now my 500th post.

      Very nice, I miss the old one, but it beats the one we had before this.
      And I hope the top 5 comes back ^^

      I have a question. You have all the cutscenes, battles, music etc. but you dont have anything like a official downloads tab/section. I have all the official wallpapers and the ones you cant get anymore that are rear to find (because the EU sites go down after 2 years after the release). I also have all the official PSP themes for Birth By Sleep (even the ones that have the question mark on the Japanese site). I also have the desktop clock from the KH2 FM+ site.
      The main question is will there be a official downloads tab/section sometime in the near future? If you do add a section for that I can help with the downloads that are impossible to find.

      Awesome, it looks a lot better than the old one. Hope this one revives a little that part of the site.
      I have a question:
      When I upload my vid from youtube, is there any security option, so that I can confirm it's mine so that noone else can upload it?

      This is awesome, Thanks staff ^^ I hope the Top 5 comes back, I need some more motivation to make a video again.

      That heart thing will be helpful for doing the Top 5.
      I hope to start it again on the 6th or 7th of March.

      xD Fayt did you close this on accident?
      Right now we don't have any plans to do so, but I will definitely keep in mind the offer should we start making ideas. <3 Thank you.
      There's not, unfortunately. We do have the Report feature though, so if you do come across someone uploading your videos just let us know.

      So we're only allowed to upload our own videos to the Portal? Uploading other people's videos (whether credit is given or not) is disallowed? Personally, I'd like to add the Kairi's Panties video and the Sanctuary Reversed video, but neither are mine.

      I was going to just say to follow the rules from the video board. Suprisingly though, the video thread doesn't mention that. The graphic art section says this though.

      I would say you need to make it obvious who it actually belongs to. The problem is really credit being given where it is due.
