Mobile, mobile …mobile!

Written by Andrew on November 2nd, 2011

So, your video site is gaining traction, you’re a happy PHP Melody user but you want more, you want to go mobile. Good!

This November, you’ll be able to do just that: go mobile with your PHP Melody site. No longer will iPad/iPhone users get frustrated when visiting your site from their couch or worse, from their…

Mobile Melody allows mobile fanatics to view your videos, and basically do everything they can do now on your site: sign up, register, comment, search and so on.

At this time Mobile Melody works great with Youtube, DailyMotion, Vimeo, BlipTV, mov, 3gp, mp4 and even mp3 files. Others will soon follow once they start offering HTML5 alternatives to their content.

Ok, so let’s review and get into the specifics:

  • Mobile visitors can now play your videos on the go. No more Flash vs. iOS problems.
  • Seamless installation, zero hussle (just upload and go).
  • Highly customizable.
  • Polished interface. Looks and works real nice.
  • Lightweight. Uses Ajax to retrieve extra content and other tricks.
  • Works great on tablets too. Content is re-sized and optimized for tablets automatically.
  • Earn more money with small AdSense banners – or AdSense Mobile (CTR on mobile sites is crazy high).
  • Plays well with any 1.6.x release. You don’t need the latest PHP Melody to use Mobile Melody.

While Mobile Melody is still work in progress, we just wanted to let you know that mobile is happening. Mobile Melody will become available some time after the 15th of November.

One more thing worth mentioning is a brand new, upcoming update for PHP Melody with features excursively suggested by the community.

Thanks!

  2. This is awesome bro, i’m looking for this feature. Mobile is happening now :) So, should i buy a new one or just download if i’ve become a member

  3. MetalVideo says:

    OK I can do that. However, will mobile melody have an HTML5 player that will play them? I have a license for the latest JW player.

    Several key questions:

    1. Will we be able to select specific categories for the mobile side since some of us have a melting pot of flash, mov, and mp4 videos.

    2. Will we be getting an updated uploader to allow mobile video uploads (THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!)

    • Andrew says:

      1) Mobile Melody will automatically do that for you. It will only show videos that can be played on mobile devices.

      2) Mobile video uploads will not be supported in this version.

      • cinema says:

        One last thing, can we have a cemented day for release..since I will have to do this for two sites i’m going to need the full day off just to update and test..some heads up would be greatly appreciated.

    Nice to see, but i already have a mobile version of phpmelody as mention in the forum on october 16 from this year ;) (http://www.phpsugar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=3611&p=39337#p39337)

    I am about to make purchase of the phpmelody 1.6.7. But i read from some of the posts that Mobile Melody and phpmelody 1.6.8 going release after November 15th. I was totally confused, whether i have to buy additionally mobile melody or mobile melody will be free with future updates. Also suggest me whether starting a new site with phpmelody 1.6.7 is good or will i just wait for 1.6.8. I read that version is 1.6.8 is completely redeveloped version with very new features than now.

    Please suggest me.. what should i do.. Wait for new version or buy now, start the new website development and update later.

    • Andrew says:

      We’re not yet sure if Mobile Melody will be a free plugin or a paid one. If you purchase 1.6.7 now, you’ll be able to easily update to 1.6.8. There’s no reason not to buy PHP Melody before the 1.6.8 release. Updates usually take less than 15 minutes to apply.

  29. Alexsei says:

    An excellent solution.
    Question. How to get into the zone of the client? to see how the load shot video from the phone to the site.

    • Andrew says:

      You’ll have to change the “user agent”. Firefox has a couple of addons for switching between “User agents” and fooling the site into thinking you’re a iPhone, when in fact you’re on a PC with Firefox.

      • Alexsei says:

        Yes.

        I use an emulator MobiOne

        After you register and login to your account, there is no reference to management.

        You can upload a screenshot page looks like the site to download video from phone?
