Hello,
As of the 1.3.1 update, we are happy to inform you that Filemoon is now fully deprecated. This means that all links no longer point to the outdated Filemoon platform, and the Byse player is served instead. Please note that Filemoon domains will continue to work until February 1st, so if you have not yet updated your embed links or direct links to Byse domains, you still have some time. After that date, Filemoon domains will be fully shut down. We will implement a grace period, after which, if you do not update your links, your account will be disabled, as we will not keep inactive accounts with no traffic.
Since we have reached a major milestone in the platform migration, we are pleased to announce that it is time to adjust the rates we pay and the features we offer. With the 1.3.2 update, we will switch our counting system by removing the old, outdated logic of counting views per IP. This method will no longer be used, as we believe our users deserve better than being limited by IP-based counting. Instead, we will begin counting views per unique device.
The new counting system will have no daily limits. Each unique device will be counted once per unique file per day. This means that if a viewer watches 100 different videos in a single day, all 100 views will be counted.
The new counting system will rely primarily on conversions, so each user may have different rates. We aim to take care of our advertisers as well as our users. The better your traffic converts, the higher your rate will be. The new system will also prevent situations where you earn less than our default rates. However, if we detect that your traffic does not convert at all, we may refuse to continue providing free services and require you to switch to 0% earnings mode or to premium services only.
We would also like to inform you that with this update, our custom domain system will automatically notify you if your domain is blacklisted by antivirus software or ad blockers. Please note that if your domain is blacklisted by antivirus software, we will disable earnings on your account until you update your domain to a new one.
Update Byse 1.3.1
- We have enabled file expiry by default; files will now be stored for 30 days. Every user has the ability to automatically upgrade their account to a longer file expiry period or no expiry at all if their traffic is high. Our system periodically checks whether the user is maintaining the required traffic and will automatically downgrade the file expiry time if a significant traffic decrease is detected. (This feature is under testing and will not be live until the end of March.)
- We have corrected our popunder script for custom ads, which under some circumstances caused the player to be non-clickable.
- We have fixed the telemetry page, which previously had issues loading bandwidth related data.
- We have made changes to our backend encryption by adding an extra security layer dedicated to older devices. This now correctly allows the player to load on older devices such as Android 8–10, some TVs, and older browsers.
- We have added support for HTTP sites that were previously unable to embed the Byse player.
- We have fixed the time slider in the player; it now correctly displays preview images when hovering over the timeline.
- We have re-implemented the skip intro feature in the player, as the button was previously outside of the visible area.
- We have corrected the share buttons, which were previously providing an incorrect domain.
- We have updated the dashboard viewer count to source data from telemetry, as telemetry is more accurate.
- We have updated the search functionality. You can now search through files within a folder. This means that when you are in the root folder, you will only see files located in the root folder.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 1.3.1 UPDATE WILL TAKE EFFECT DURING THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16–17. DURING THIS UPDATE, MAINTENANCE WILL BE PERFORMED ON OUR EDGE SERVERS, STREAMING DOMAINS WILL BE UPDATED, AND THE EDGE CACHE WILL BE CLEARED.
