do you have a live demo? All I see is pics on your pages

Refer to the following sites that are running ViScript 2.0

Microsoft Site
Heroes Site
Torrent Site

Anyone else feel like adding to the list, the above three sites were also used throughout the testing phase so there might be a few strange posts but the new ones I just put on will all be good.

I had to put things in the TOS and Licence agreement just to protect my ass from legal issues.
 
Ok I have a few questions about this that your page does not answer either:

  • Are only youtube videos supported, or does viscript help with other popular video platforms (veoh, google video) as well? Which ones?
  • Can I mix the video blog posts with written content aka "normal" wordpress posts?
  • Can you share some screens of the admin Interface?
  • Do you have a site up that we could testdrive, maybe for a review? PM me
And a provocative one:

  • With other plugins available that do the youtube thing for free, what justifies the price tag?

PS: Yeah, you can use your answers on your page to promote viscript, I won't mind. :D

Currently only YouTube is supported but I'll soon be adding in Veoh, MetaCafe, Yahoo Videos, and possibly a few more sources.

Can I mix the video blog posts with written content aka "normal" wordpress posts?

Yes its wordpress you can edit/add any content to the posts as you like.
  • Can you share some screens of the admin Interface?
    [*] Do you have a site up that we could testdrive, maybe for a review? PM me
Because so many people are asking I'm going to use an empty domain of mine with a fresh wordpress install so everone can play with ViScript as they see fit, that can be your live demo.

You can login to the demo site by clicking here and the username = admin and the password = test

And a provocative one:

Very good proactive question and the reason why this is more valuable is because of the built in backlink strategy, the customer support and the membership resources that come with it which include a variety of ways to earn money with your new sites is why this is better then any free ones out there, not to mention that any updates you want or think it should have all you need to do is suggest and tell me why you think it would help the script and it can be placed in, its like having a programmer at your figertips adding new features which everyone agrees upon.
 
Hmm... looked at the test site... does it not work?
Is there a button for "enter video" or am I too blind to see it?

Might also be my castrated machine here at work, will check later from home.

Also, I will be interested as soon as the other video portals are up.

I tried to add some text to a post on the demo site. Now the layout is all wonky. Nice job though. I'll be picking up a copy.
 
Options -> viscript.. I tried it but it seems to time out, I get a blank page after a few minutes..
 
Aequitas, it looks really good - but I also have a few questions:

1) If you automate the process and set it up to run x times a week and pull videos on XYZ kw(s), what's to stop it from posting the same videos over and over again? Do you have something built into the script that filters out dupe content?

2) Can you upload a few free WP templates to the test, so we can see what the video looks like in different WP themes?

I may have a few more questions, but these are just off the top of my head. Anyway, the script looks really good and I plan on picking up a copy.
 
I ran into the same problem illkitty did. If you add text to the post through the "Manage" section of WP admin panel, then the layout goes to shite. Any clue what's causing this? Maybe you need to write something into the script that specifically says "Text goes here" and puts the text where it should go - either above the video, below, or to the sides without messing up the whole layout.

That is because I didn't turn off the normal Wordpress editor in wordpress, the what you see is what you get editor fucks with your object code, thats a wordpress issue and NOT a ViScript issue, you've just got to remember to turn your what you see is what you get editor off.

The odd time on certain keywords it does time out, this is why I've limited the amount of posts you make make at any one time, I'm going to be increasing the performance of the script more and more but the problem also lies if YouTube is going slow, if there site is slow the the script will run slow.

I've implemented a duplicate content checker so you won't get duplicate videos posted to your site, however I do this check before it adds the videos and I do the check with the video titles, so sometimes two videos of the same will have different titles, and one will slip through but the majority of the time there isn't a duplicate content issue, even if one of the same videos slip through it will be from a different poster with different comments being put on your site.

I'll upload a couple more themes today.
 
Edit: Sites down because of hostgator, not the script. I would have just taken down the URL but I can't edit the post.

Long story short I posted about 400 videos in 5 minutes and hostgator suspended my shared plan. I contacted customer support, and they said the script is fine to use, just not fine at 100 posts per minute. So hopefully the site is back up soon. And for those of you considering purchasing on shared hosting no worries, just don't post at such a high volume.

They suspended you without notification - you had to contact them - yet you still recommend them?
 
I ran the hell out of their server, I called them, told them I didn't realize I was using excessive resources, and then when I screwed up some of the files in the blog they helped me fix the database (That was me, not the script or hostgator).

The site is now back online, with a few problems from me trying to hack PHP files without actually knowing PHP. Yeah, my site was suspended, I called them, they where extremely helpful and understanding, and they actually went above and beyond in getting me set back up.

So yeah mate, I have no problem recommending them. I've never used anyone else though, so not a lot to compare to. I've been with them since I've owned a website. They keep my shit online, and they're always there to help me. Yeah, they took my site down for a few hours, but I can't blame them, you can pump out some posts FAST with that script.

It's not that they took your site down, if their terms stated no more than xxx calls per minute or so and so resources per account or whatever then that's understandable. It's the fact that they seemingly didn't notify you, you had to contact them.

I bet most companies would do they same, but a lot would email you to say what they've done and why.

If this had been a money making site and they took it down without warning and you hadn't checked on it for a few days, well that's potentially a lot of lost cash.

I'm sure they state they can do this in their terms but it's definitely put me off using them in future (and made me aware of something else to check before I sign up with another hosting company - thanks).
 
Last post on the subject, I don't want to hijack the thread, but they did email me, it was just about 30 minutes after it went down that I recieved it. I was actually on the phone with the support guy when I recieved it.

That kinda changes things a bit. Sorry for going off topic, just with everyone plugging Hostgator that seemed like a really shitty thing to do.

Back to ViScript - looks good mate.

Just had a play - very impressed. The scraping of comments is great, in my opinion sets it apart from the other plugins. Does it pull the date from youtube and could it easily be tweaked to show random times? (4 comments at 5.08am looks a bit false.)

Being able to autoplay the vids youtube style would be nice for things like this.

Hmm I actually think I can add in the autoplay feature if someone wanted it and the only problem with adding the dates based from you tube is that when you add them to wordpress they won't align correctly.

An example would be you made a post today with todays date then you pulled 5 videos from you tube from dates before today when viewing your blog the new posts won't be the new post it will be the post you made today and the other posts will be backdated appearing off the main page depending on how many posts your making so you could be making 10 posts a day but in reality your visitors won't see a change on the main site.

But I am looking into swapping up the dates to keep things more random and natural.
