We won't release what is coming because it changes often and some are way off in the distance. A lot of what we want to do is purely based on the feedback that everyone is providing.
As always, thanks for letting us know what you guys think. On behalf of the entire team that is behind this, we are working hard to make this great. We keep saying "If the users don't like it, we aren't happy." This will continue to evolve and is just the start of it.

Ok, I understand why the video player is here, and why it is likely to stay. So how about we throw out some ideas to make what we have better, instead of saying to get rid of it and it sucks. After all, they are looking for our input to a certain degree. So just toss out ideas like many other marketing groups would do while brainstorming.
How about the video remains to be a pop out, but can be moved within the browser window so you can move it to the side and keep scrolling through a thread? Or similar idea, but it can be moved outside the browser as well, but keep it "locked" to the top of the desktop so if you click a window outside of the video player, it remains on top?
Resize-able player box?

The lightbox window isn't as hated as some people make it out to be. We have usage stats that shows it. In fact, some like using it.
However, we know that some don't like it, and we fully understand why. I guarantee that in an upcoming version release, the system will give users the option to watch the video without the lightbox, thanks to the feedback provided by those who care enough to explain their thoughts and offer ideas for improvement.
Thanks!

I think straight up pop up would be nicer than the lightbox because you can move it to the side and continue with the thread. the things you quoted look promising.
have you made more changes since post 107 on 6/6/11?
i think you have and its getting better regarding size.

Re: Site Video Embed System Suggestions Thread
Is there a way to post a link without it automatically embedding into the post?
I don't like the pop up at all. I like other sites that have a simple, clean video that I can load up while surfing the rest of the thread. When I'm browsing I have at least 4-5 tabs open on a window. I like having control of everything, but when I open this autostream deal I'm forced to have a giant popup cover my entire computer. Its like its taking control of the whole computer and I have to sit through it if I want to see the vid.
I would like the option to not see embedded vids. Maybe that's an option already, but I'd rather open a new, separate window than have some 3rd party app take center stage.

Please read the conversation previously had in this thread. And if a lightbox window takes over your entire computer...you may want to consider to upgrading it.

Some news on the video player. I've heard you and we're planning a new release. We are 60 days away from this so I wouldn't mind getting some feedback.
Thew new player will not be a pop-up and instead will be a straight embed with social info on the side. Here is a preview.
