Hey, many thanks for the extensive review. I've noticed you on WJ before, so I'd like to say it is somewhat of an honor having you in this thread.Nice site. Only problem I've noticed so far is sometimes thumbnails for links don't seem to get fetched. And some daily shows get detected as movies. It seems to be mostly the ones that don't really have a season/episode format but a date instead.
As for suggestions, it would be nice if you could increase image quality. Everything seems to default to 70 which results in noticeable artifacting. This is especially noticeable with user avatars etc. Another suggestion would be to provide an API for verified members. People that handle a lot of links tend to automate their workflow.
I'm also wondering if you have any plans to create a spinoff that focuses on adult content? Back in the day
Alluc had their Pron.tv daughter site. Ever since they shut down nobody has bothered to fill that void. Considering the traffic they had and the fact that adult content tends to generate significantly more profit I think it would be well worth it.
At any rate, GJ with the site so far.
Edit: some mixdrop links fail with "There was a problem with this video." even though the links themselves are fine.
As for the aforementioned points:
Labels: Work is to be done on those labels and thumbnails. Unfortunately some hosters do not allow fetching of thumbnails outside of api account.
Image quality: As soon as some targets are met, we'll be able to afford original image quality. Not so ideal now, have to admit.
Porn spinoff: The idea crossed my mind multiple times. However, due to the automated nature of this "web tool/project," I am truly afraid of bad content being shared. You can possibly guess the kind I'm talking about. Still haven't figured out how to ensure the prevention of said disallowed content. Any suggestions would be welcomed honestly.
Mixdrop issue: will contact mixdrop, hope they have the desire and or motivation to take a look at why that happens.
Would like to also take this moment to announce an update. Most of you have already experienced the new design, it has been live for a few days now. Here is the main update, explained:
Make the site your own:
VidHotel now allows verified users to share their channels totally independent of other user's videos on the site. In profile, there is a "share button," which gives you a link such a this one:
https://vidhotel.com/c/videofeed
This is the independent channel path to user "videofeed"! From which you cannot go back to the main site. The purpose here is for any uploader to be able to advertise their own portfolio without giving anyone else's videos any exposure, but have their videos in the main site as well. Win-win for those who do not own websites, but wish to promote their portfolio. In the channel visitors can browse and search only videos submitted by the user. In channels, the traffic you bring from social media or wherever else - remains your own!

Contact us to get verified if you haven't already!Hi. How to add more than 20 links?
Will consider adding search area to the floater, as for the back button - it's currently left from the title (below embed)!Hi,
Just great site.
Can you have search input on floating menu?
And a button click back to top maybe?
