robbalvey Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hello everyone! As I'm sure many of you have seen through the various posts lately that we've settled on a name for our new video feature and we are almost ready for this to go "live!" We are in our final testing phase and we could use your help to find those last few problems with the system. Please visit CoasterTube here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/ And please try watching videos, making comments, uploading videos, rating videos, logging into your account, etc, etc... If you find any problems, please post them here! Thank you for your help! --Robb
Eric_Smith Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I have done everything but upload a video because I don't have any to upload and everything worked for me!
triggernel Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I just have a quick question. If you log in will it keep you logged in or will I have to log in everytime I decide to use it?
monkeyoverlord71 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Only one thing I have found. If you search for a video, for example Disney and then click one of the links under ''TPR TV Categories'' an error message screen comes up. Otherwise it seems fine.
rollerboy Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 This is probably more down my end but I'll let you know anyway. When I tried to watch a video it lagged until about a quarter a way through and then it just stopped playing. I have waited for a while but nothing happens. That's about it; everything else works great. Good idea Robb!

Nrthwnd Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I was fine with everything, until I posted a comment. There are now three copies of the comments there, lol! Sorry. I didn't see the small type noting the posting had been successful. Um, maybe that should be made in larger type? Could an ASSistant or you Robb, correct this and remove two of them, posted at the Alton Towers vid. Thankyou, in advance. And I don't have any personal videos myself, so I wasn't going to do anything about uploading one of those. So, except "for the above", CoasterTube works great for me, right now.
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 ^ I think we'll make it so you can delete or edit your own comments.
rollerboy Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Actually one more thing, if you click the "log in" button top right, it just refreshed the page. I can log in fine on the middle-right bit though.
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 ^ That "Log In" link takes you to the front page so you can enter your username and password down below. --Robb
rollerboy Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 ^ OK sorry. It would be cool if it went to a proper log in page like on the forums. That would help out dumba$$'s like me!
coasterking2981 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 A stupid question but whatever...do we have to upload real theme park videos only or can we post Roller Coaster Tycoon videos as well (even though that's what Youtube is for )?
robbalvey Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 ^ You can upload whatever you want! There are catagories for Roller Coaster Videos, Park Videos, Random stuff, etc, etc... You can totally upload an NL or RCT3 video if you want to. --Robb
cobra_roll06 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Videos take a very long time to load for me, but I think this is more to do with things at my end than yours.
sfne2005 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Robb, I just watched the TExpress vid (mmm, I miss it) and the quality seemed to be spotty on some of the transitions from frame to frame. I am pretty sure the original didn't have that. If this has been repeated, I am sorry as I didn't peruse the other posts. Rich
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I just uploaded a video Robb everything is working fine.

cfc Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Robb, I tried uploading that little .mov file again, but got the same error message as before: 303: Failed to load a resource Unable to load resources: Error #2124 Does it just not like .mov files? I'm not sure how to convert it to another format, because Windows Movie Maker doesn't recognize .mov files, either (it's a Quick Time file).
robbalvey Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 ^ Very strange. I just tried to upload a .mov also and it didn't work. This was the same problem we were having with .avi's about a week ago. Hopefully I can get this fixed shortly. --Robb
QueerRudie Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Robb, So far so good- No real problems save one: Inconsistancy in download times (I.E. One video download is fast, the next is crawling)- whether or not this is a 'Coastertube problem' or a 'Broadband' problem, I'm not sure- but if it's any clue: My speed is of download is 'max' right now: I.E. optimal- but then again, I've seen this with other sites before. Thanks!
robbalvey Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 ^ It probably has more to do with how big the initial uploaded file is. If the video is long or the video was at higher quality it might be a bigger .flv file to have to stream. --Robb
Cyber.Fiber Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Aww, I liked TPR TV. But thats okay, It works fine for me!
QueerRudie Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Another 'minor' glitch I might have spotted- when I rated videos, they see '0' for ratings- but after I post my 'rating' it shows '5' when I return to the same video. very Minor, I think.
Jon34MA Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I found a slight problem. If your in the area where you edit your profile. If you click on any of the links for the categories on the left, it brings up an error screen. I copied what the screen said cause it told me nicely. "An Internal Error has Occurred. Please report following error to the webmaster. select * FROM videos v,forum_users m WHERE v.user_id=m.user_id AND v.approved='yes' AND v.public_private = 'public' and v.cat_id=Roller Coaster Video order by v.title limit 0, 12 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Coaster Video order by v.title limit 0, 12' at line 1"
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I'm loving this Robb! I haven't found any problems. Hopefully there are no more problems to be found. I just uploaded a .wmv file and besides it taking like 25 minutes to upload, everything worked fine. I'm guessing it took so long because I am connected through a wireless connection that I have no idea where it's coming from and the signal is pretty weak.
