Home page videos

November 13, 2009 at 8:29 AM By: Pearl

I don't know if this is happening for everyone but the videos on the Home page just do not work. The 'big' screen starts to play the rotation but stalls out and never does finish completely showing the preview for the upcoming tour (think it's about 30 seconds long) before it goes onto the next in the rotation. And the small video below it cannot play completely either. I pause the big one to watch the small one and it just can't play or buffer enough to play in it's entirety. Is it an issue between the two players? I don't know, but visiting the Home page stinks.

    Pearl, I am disheartened that your spirit is being crushed in this fashion...You have always been a "go-to" sort of gal for most of us here, and you still are!!! You are also a HUGE cheerleader for all things Martina - so please, we need ya!!! Thanks for all you have done in the past, but don't give up - it will make this new place "less fun" and well, a lot more intolerable if ya ain't in it with us!!!! PUH-LEEAZE, I beg of you- SNAP OUTTA IT!! I will be more than happy to take over for a week or so and fight your fights for us while you take a much-deserved vacation from our complaints!!! We are all frustrated, so I definitely sympathize with how ya feel as you git the brunt of all this....Whaddya say???

    lol Well, I don't plan on going anywhere if that's what you mean...lol The sad thing is...GC has NO idea what type of people we all really are as they've seemed to bring out the worst in us since Day One. We're not asking for the moon here. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there are other options available that they just won't even consider. (Or if they are willing no one from Team GC has spoken up) If they're not willing to give any why in the world do they think we will? I don't know..I'm here because I love all things Martina...I love the family that Martinaville has become to me...and I love the fact that when things are down you're here to pick them up again. And this place just ISN'T Martinaville. It hasn't said that anywhere on this site since day one and the Martinaville atmosphere has gone missing since day one. I for one, will be a happy camper when MARTINAVILLE, be it official or unofficially Shines again.

    I lived up to my end. When GC was speaking to us politely and professionally, and giving us status updates and things, I was behind them- even rooting for and actively posting my support. Today, Eddie is back, and so is the general unprofessional sarcasm and flippant remarks. So, a return of my sarcasm also. But I still love puppies and kittens as much as anyone.

    I'm going to preface this post by saying I am personally not a fan of videos that auto-start. That being said.....

    I looked into what is causing the choppiness and found what is it. The file sizes for the videos that were uploaded are quite large for a video that auto-starts on a homepage. I am going to re-encode the videos that are currently up there and see if this helps resolve this for you guys. Get back to me tomorrow and let me know if this helped as the re-encodes won't be up for a few more hours.

    I've noticed since the Black Friday image/ad was removed from the homepage video player that now the concert video that plays only makes it through about 50% before it moves on to the next image/banner. It plays fine, not choppy or anything, just doesn't play all the way through. Anyone else having issues with it?

    I wish the concert video wouldn't auto start. I don't mind the Martina chanting, but it get's annoying after awhile.
