Players
A list of players is provided with the server; these are capabilities that handle most of
the media that a user will upload such as Vimeo, Youtube, DailyMotion, and so on.
I recommend that you allow all of them (click on the green light on the left-hand side)
and define your preferred player using
Priority
, with arrows beside each player.
Popularity
Each published video can be submitted to like/dislike votes. For your information
and contrary to what one might think,
popularity
is not just the result of any
addition/subtraction but it is a dedicated equation of the following form:
popularity_points = log_X(media.likes) + media.age/Y
This equation is clearly explained in the documentation at
http://mediadrop.net/
Both the decay exponent and lifetime are adaptable in this section.
Tags
Tags are related to categories, but are nevertheless different. You can use them when
you post a micro description of one or two words (recommended), but they are also
useful for searches. Moreover, when users browse contents tags, they also help to get
an overall opinion.
As with
Categories
, you need to have granted access in order to define tags.
Upload
Here, you will find the setting that you might look after the most.
