Who better to talk to about this stuff then Soapbox development lead Rafael Sagula? Tune in.Check out the Soapbox video on 10. You can find invites there too en Fri, 24 May 2013 04:48:31 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 04:48:31 GMT Rev9 Re: SoapBox: What. How. Why. I wanna now that is there any library to stream videos on FlashPlayer ?
Why Microsoft choose the FlashPlayer instead of Media player ?

I'd hate to see Soapbox become just like the other video-sharing sites and have nothing more than young women shaking their breasts around in a suggestive manner.

How. Why. I think, though, that it will be difficult to compete with MySpace and YouTube.  Even Google realized this and bought up YouTube.

As mentioned in the video, when you view the site in IE, it uses Media Player and when you view the site in anything else, it uses the Flash player.

Now I am confused. Why isn't it called Windows Live Video?


Maybe a Soapbox API in the Sky will be Live Video Smiley In terms of your justifiable confusion: Live is not a replacement for MSN... Think of Live as a set of services in the cloud. MSN remains as, well, MSN...

Sorry to ruin your day, but removing these videos would diminish the chances of Soapbox beeing successful considerably. So I guess it won't happen.

I like the idea of integrating C9 with SoapBox. Niners can create videos and upload them to SoapBox, after which they could magically appear on C9.


Me too Smiley Keep in mind that this is highly speculative at this point. No promises, maketh I.

Sadly, I agree - so I doubt the "Report" feature will do any good for a long time, if ever. If Microsoft is willing to allow this stuff on their Soapbox in order to gain popularity, it speaks volumes...

I haven't watched this video completely through yet but you have a good point - regardless how good the video is here, a bluetooth mic would be sweet, so long as you can get one for everybody being interviewed, although the sound-quality is typically pretty good....nevermind, my zeal has gotten out too quickly, I'm on the fence with this one Smiley bah, do whatever - something tells me that you guys want these videos to be as awesome as we do ...

What seems to be the problem? What part of Soapbox is not working? What build are you using? What error messages if any are you getting? Which browser are you using? Etc...
