Viewing with IE10, it looks good with Compat off. But with Compat on there is still the same problems with dropdown menus being hidden behind the other graphics. Still not 100% fixed.

I like the new pre-roll ads :D My only question is, on a website importing in videos from youtube, is it wise to use this feature? I wouldn't want to use it and find it pisses google off.

It's wise to play by the rules. If their TOS says don't do it, then don't. Simple as that ;)

We have something special planned in relation to this but that's reserved for another (maybe next) time.

Thanks for the release Andrew. I'll play around with the beta over the weekend and let you know if there's any bugs.

Any updates on the custom fields?

Me questions are:
Is there language autoselect? Not sure
Will be planned paging on first page (home screen)? (next versions)
Will be planned easy adding custom player? If someone dislike embed, jwplayer and like someone else... (next versions)

Thank you and good luck :)

Hello.

Just like we have "LIKE or No Like" underneath each video, can you please do that for articles and include it in the latest version ? These likes should also be stored in the pm_bin_something_something_meta and a score be associated for them (Just like videos).

Having this feature, can help us build additional features on top of melody.


<3 melody.
