Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! We're happy to answer any questions you have in this thread--ask away. We're very excited to show what we've been working on, and we can't wait (sorry) to show you all where we're headed in the future.
- sriramk 15y agoHow do you guys get access to the trailers? Does that involve some licensing or are they freely available? Very nifty app btw - congratulations.
- ericflo 15y agoAll of our trailers are actually being streamed from YouTube. We're using the YouTube API on the website to build a nice HTML5 player, and then in the app, HTML5 plays using the native player.

- justincormack 15y agoI always assumed you could not do that as the terms of service say You agree not to distribute in any medium any part of the Service or the Content without YouTube's prior written authorization, unless YouTube makes available the means for such distribution through functionality offered by the Service (such as the Embeddable Player). Am I mistaken?
- ericflo 15y agoWe're just using the embeddable player (the iframe version of it) which automatically uses Flash on the web and HTML 5 <video> on iOS http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/iframe_api_reference.html http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/iframe_api_reference.htm...
- simonista 15y agoWeren't you working on Convore a few months ago? Is this from the same team?
- ericflo 15y agoIt's from 2/3 of that team. Eric and I left to start this in late May-early June and Leah is working at Convore.
