Features I would find helpful

  1. Trying to put these in order of helpfulness.

    1. If the Browse Artist & Search Artist returned some restriction information maybe a list of all allowed countrys of videos by this artist. That way when i display a list of artists i can filter out artists that have no videos they can watch.

    2. I have two options for this either would work the 1st being javascript call to get the duration of the current loaded video as i have noticed some videos return 0 in the xml but flash still seems to know the length in the flash toolbar. Which brings me to the other option fix the videos that return 0 for there duration with the actully duration.

    3. Ability to load and unload videos in the player via javascript. So i could change the playing video without having to remove the flash player and add another. If you need a example i would sugest a look at google youtube chromeless players javascript.

    4. A Chromeless player so i can better implement my own controls. I Don't mind if the onclick to mtv is still there or the built in replay/share and related videos at the end. Would like a way to remove the toolbar the bottom though so i can make my own :)

    5. Ability to return JSON and/or JSON-IN-SCRIPT

    Don't get me wrong i love the api and i thank you very much for it. Just somethings i would find helpful some i think would be pretty easy to implantment depending on how your backend works.

    Thank you again for the api
