RSS Playlists in Flowplayer Fullscreen - Indytube

[and]

Andycat's genius proposition to use RSS feeds down the side of the fullscreen page generated by Flowplayer as a video playlist system.

A column down the right-hand side of a fullscreen page such as this

This could be a javascript-generated list of links to RSS feeds, and of feeds themselves, to enable the user to browse a playlist of videos to watch fullscreen based on:

• tags - playlist of latest (date created) videos in each tag
• favourites - playlist of latest (date created) videos in the member's favourites list
• countries - playlist of latest (date created) videos in each country
• genres - playlist of latest (date created) videos in each genre
• member - playlist of latest (date created) videos in a Member's video folder

There would be three levels to navigate through:

• list of all available areas - tags, favourites, countries, genres, members
• list or cloud of eg. tagcloud of all tags, or all countries
• list of actual videos within eg. one all videos in East Timor category

Clicking links would pull in the new RSS feed or other template data, without interrupting the Flash video playing.

Playlist functionality would include the ability to loop playback. This would be really handy for installations etc. (though heavy on the data usage of somebody's connection, and on our data transfer on our server..). Of course it could be intelligent enough to not reload each video, but play from the cached version on a user's local machine, if the file already exists.

Could we do this as part of Indytube somehow, rather than Plumi-specific?

I guess it depends on who has RSS feeds available, so perhaps not..?

I wonder if we could make this run on Search listings also...
