Send via Email, Soapbox, API improvements and Amazon S3

February 18th, 2007

Hi People,

Few changes today, we hope you’ll enjoy.

Upload video via email

Now, you can send and forward videos by email. You got an email from a friend, your family or even professional and you need to encode the attached video? Just forward it to us. You can put a title (optional) in the subject field. More, this is now more convenient to upload video via your mobile, it’s like MMS!

All you have to do is to choose an username in your account page and send the email to: your-choosen-name at upload.heywatch.com

Soapbox and Tetesaclaques.tv discover enabled

You surely know that Microsoft has just released its public Beta of Soapbox, its online video service. Hey!Watch already handles it! We also did the same for the more and more popular canadian show Tetesaclaques.tv.

API improvements

Developers can now override global options like FTP or ping after encode for each job they create through the API. See the updated doc on the wiki.

Automatic encode available for all uploading ways

When you upload from your disk, the video will be encoded automatically if you enable the automatic encode option. From now, whatever the way you transfer a video, it can be automatically converted.

Store with Amazon S3

Your encoded videos can now be directly sent to your S3 storage space. Set this option in your account page (Developer tab).
