Was this video player in the playlists already not working for you? For example can you watch videos here?

https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/4b25902557dd17a5b60ca75248f5546c

Just want to check in case it's anything specific to how it's implemented on view pages.

Videos don't play on that page.

Looking pretty good! Frame by frame view is pretty welcome for us animation nerds.

At first I was a bit surprised with the video playing above while I scrolled to see reviews, but it's good to have the option to toggle it if you're re-watching something while reading reviews.

Nice work team, this came out great.

It's a combination of all of those, briefly:

• Default size is huge. It's like I've accidentally gone into full screen, which I don't do for anything in a browser ever. If I want full screen I'll pick it myself
• Automatic resizing/stay on top is incredibly annoying. Some people may like it, but it's the sort of behaviour I only ever see with irritating video adverts
• Lack of integration with the existing UI. Might be a work in progress that'll be fixed if/when the site skin is merged into things, in which case fair enough, but just having a huge grey bar where the video plays that's inconsistent with everything else on the page looks bad. Even little things like having the title of the movie above the movie as it was before and still is with games would help:

Just something little like that (have the width of the title bar be dynamic dependent on the video sizing maybe?) would make a huge difference. Switching fix to top off and setting video size to medium helps, but little things like the title of a game being above the game and the title of a movie being somewhere else entirely is a mild irritant.

Probably just me having been here for nearly as long as you have and hating change, but my first thought was either that the site had been hacked, or that someone was testing some Ribbagrounds 2.0 skin, and that isn't a great look

Nice work! Caught me off guard but the ui is really intuitive.

seconded!

Pausing and not seeing the stupid grey screen is the best part about this holy shit. The frame scrubbing is also neat as fuckkk

Absolutely loving the new player! (now I can see Sr Pelo's one-frame jokes even better lmao)

biggest SWAG moment ever

Ah. Nicely done! I like it already. Congratulations to the coders!

One bug I presume: On Brave, Mac, the video is not actually scaled to the edge of the window, even with highest resolution. It is displayed as before in just the regular Newgrounds page width.

And one feature request: Aside from the Play-Button after loading, please put a Play-In-Fullscreen button which first goes to fullscreen with black background, then starts playing after a short time delay (.25 to .5 seconds or so) automatically without any overlay whatsoever. That would be pure enjoiyment.

new vid player sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick but also those walls feel empty on the vid page without the site skin...

Wiked! This Website Keeps Getting Better!

It feels different, but it's a change for the better! Great job to the NG team! Especially with 4K omg.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

Niw I can invade Luis' privacy and look at all his frames!

tooom it's so fancy, big ol bigguns <3

I've been toying around with the video player, and I noticed on mobile mode, some cartoons display a 3D effect. I have no idea if it has anything to do with the actual video player, since the 3D effect wasn't there before.

Best update of 2020

"The new video video player includes arrow buttons for frame by frame scrubbing"

*thinking about all my off model inbetweens*

I'm impressed overall with the new video player, but can you improve on the preloading aspect of it? I want to watch more videos on Newgrounds, but it gets frustrating when I have to constantly pause what I'm watching and wait for more of the video to be preloaded.

I also noticed a weird glitch with the time stamp next to the progress bar changing numbers as the video plays. I might be get my terminology mixed up, but you can guess what I'm trying to say.

loving the new player

but I still do not understand why using this

and not just autoplaying the video

Imma invade your privates >:(

We can't autoplay video with sound, in general no website can do that anymore unless they're a site like YouTube or Twitch, which are on an exclusive whitelist in the browser itself. If NG was a single page application there'd be more potential to do that but until then the user has to click something before the page can play sound.

I guess my only problem is that there's a "glitch" on phones where if you drag the bar, it will then do the same for whenever you're holding or dragging on the page

M to mute video

You might wanna look into the issue with the player always forcefully overriding the interactive version that previously worked a few days ago. Basically without the interactive version you can't access the secrets in this video.

There's a ticket for this one to get addressed, we have more work to do in the crazy Flash / Ruffle / Video space.

this would be epic

How about you set up the html5 player controls and the play button without loading the media.

You can capture the canvas with js and generate a cover for a video when it loads. it would be a separate script that runs when users upload the content. (dont know how much disk space you have to do this tbh)

Then when the user clicks you overlay the actual player on top of everything, and make it as seemless as possible.

Its a shame that NG is not whitelisted, but I get your point, on how restricted you are when it comes to implement features.

Been thinking about that too, that it might be ideal to just show the video player UI from the start even if it doesn't autoplay. The current method puts the big play button front and center and also will be used for launching SWF content via Ruffle, so there would be consistency there. We're also gonna try upping the thumbnail size on there so it fills more of the empty space.
