I will stick to Yuxt. Unless Chime.tv clean up their interface.

Apparently Yuxt guys have been around for a while with much better interface.

With simple drag and drop it’s much easier to create collection there. Adding video into Yuxt is even easier: by simply adding yuxt.it/ in front of the url of the page ( http://yuxt.it/...d-how-far-away/ )

I really like Chime.tv and featured them in my print column/blog. I think the best part of their interface is the ability for users to program their own channels with content from various sites. We all use Tivo, and this is Tivo for Web video. I don’t care the network, I can save it to watch again later.

I credited TechCrunch of course for finding the original.

Click on my link to the founder’s website, he said since being featured here the site was covered on G4: Attack of the Show. Nice work TechCrunch/Nick.

“Chime.Tv’s video player has got the kind of flash and style Ruby developers would envy, especially since it’s programmed in PHP and AJAX. ”

What are you on about? Is this just a random linkbait attempt?

Wow, I really, really like that player. I’ve been looking for a site like this for a while – fast navigation & a player that fits my screen. This is my new procrastination home page

Awesome work guys!

“Chime.Tv’s video player has got the kind of flash and style Ruby developers would envy, especially since it’s programmed in PHP and AJAX”

This makes no sense, precisely. Ruby developers would have no reason to “envy” this site, regardless of what language was used on the server side. Ruby is generally speaking more capable than PHP in any case, although it is arguably less mature. AJAX is not a programming language at all, but rather a set of technologies and methods used to create “Web 2.0″ style pages. AJAX is equally available to PHP or Ruby developers. The actual browser code is always written in Javascript in any case, not PHP, Ruby, etc. which are server-side languages when used for web development.

Are they legally allowed to embed youtube and google video in their own player?

By: Dave

They need a couple more frames to make things easy to navigate!

This makes the list of web pages that suck!

Is there any one centralized list of all of the video platforms? I would love to see a list and what their various focus is on.

Anyone?

Every new things is good for all internet user

What’s with this push to bring the entire internet to one place? “chime.tv is a place where you can watch videos from all over the internet in one place”. Same kind of thing with Wikipedia inclusionism. It’s like trying to create a walled garden. At least pre-web-2.0 things acknowledged the diversity of the internet, creating portals and search engines that let you find things easily, but didn’t attempt to keep you tied to one place. Now we attempt to lock in by out convenience-ing the other guy, rather than actually building a better product? I guess there’s something to be said for one-stop shopping, a la Walmart, but it doesn’t encourage diversity.

Ew, all flash? That’s great for the full screen video zoom, but the navigation would be better done in HTML and Javascript. They would get better usability, and better indexing by search engines would be a free bonus.

Why would a Ruby developer give a damn about PHP, please explain

Seems to be made mostly in Flash.
