UDS and shared videos

Options

‎02-04-2010 11:34 PM

After enabling UDS on our account I noticed that videos that have been shared into my account show up in the api call but the url field is null.  This is good becuase that videos isn't actually in that particular account's file system.  My question is about the Yahoo! Connected TV Widgets,  I was wondering if these null values will have an impact on that particular application or will it just skip those videos?

Hi -- 

 

Currently, the effect will be that the videos will show-up inside the Yahoo application but if a user goes to play one of them back they will receive an error message.  This is probably not the ideal behavior -- we will work to improve the widget creator so that any videos without playable URLs will be filtered out.

 

The widget creator does provide you with a download that contains the entire source code so it would be possible for you to use the widget creator and then make your modifications before submitting to Yahoo.

 

HTH.
