Poll What features should I keep on QLCrew.com? (681 votes)

Interactive timestamps (You click on them and the video appears) 68%
Chat archives (Simulated /chat page with video and a recorded chat in sync) 46%
Downloadable playlists (in m3u format, based on filters/search results) 21%
Video player with a playlist (again, based on selected filters/search results) 44%
Mobile support (direct links to videos) 41%

How do you use QLCrew?

With the upcoming changes to the API I will have to rebuild most of the unique features on QLCrew. I want to know what should I focus on, what's not used and what needs to be better.

You can pick multiple answers. Please pick what you actually use.

Thanks!

I usually look up specific games from live streams that aren't always attached properly on the wiki. Or I'll browse for specific moments or people who've been on before.

Occasionally I'll just browse until I find something random and entertaining to watch.

Hey man I know this is somewhat off topic and probably asking too much but if you could add a "random premium video" button like the random quick look button I would be eternally grateful. Thanks for all the hard work, the site is fucking rad.

gotta be mobile support for me. the web player on giantbomb.com has gotten worse and worse on iOS, and it was a godsend that yours used, you know, the native video player.

@baconbm: There is a random video button in the Live/Premium section and it picks a random video from the results.

This will be the hardest thing to pull off. It's likely that I won't be able to provide videos this way anymore due to changes in their policy. I'll try my best to keep it as I use it all the time.
EDIT: We might be good on this front.

Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work. When I'm looking specifically for videos on giantbomb (as opposed to just browsing around), I usually just head straight to your site instead. It's an integral part of my GB experience.

First off, you should know I use qlcrew nearly every day. I think it's completly nuts it hasn't been officially integrated with the site. Such an amazing tool. Can't thank you enough duder!

Here's my hierarchy of wants:

  • Video player with a playlist
  • Chat archives
  • Interactive timestamps
  • Downloadable playlists
  • Mobile support

@mikewhy: It doesn't have the same suite of filtering tools, but the GB Video Buddy is the best way to go for GB on iOS I would say. Maybe give it a shot if you haven't!

@geraltitude: @stealydan: Thanks! All those things should survive the transition, just not everything will work day one.
Top Men are on the case and directly in contact with me and other devs to make sure we get through this as smoothly as possible.

Hey, just wanted to chime in and say good job. It's a really cool thing, been using it for a while now and it makes it way easier to look for specific things, especially non-Quick Looks. Thanks a bunch for your work.

I use QLCrew all the time and it is great but the main things I use are to randomize video lists and to search for specific games in live shows. That being said, of the features above I prefer of those mentioned above are mobile support and maybe the timestamps. I would like a search function on the mobile version (I don't think there is one unless I'm just missing it).

Anyway, keep up the great work, it really is a useful thing you've made.

The chat archives are cool, but I used qlcrew a ton in the past before they were added, so I might not miss them that much.

The interactive timestamps are my n1. It's the best way for me to pinpoint GB content.

Thanks for everything you do duder!

I also use it daily, really awesome thing you made. I usually use it before I sleep to find a random old quick look to watch. Picking two people in the video and scrolling through the pages till I find something good.

@tekzero: Wierd. Either you picked the white version when it was still an option or visited the site while something was broken. I think you should be fine now.

I use the downloadable playlist option occasionally to get a bunch of content to watch in my local player, but I imagine that's going to be one of the harder things to implement with the new API since it's just a text file of video URLs.

@dudeglove: Yes they had that. I remember the HTML5 support was fairly new at the time and there were always some issues with Chrome. Firefox didn't even support h.264 at all. I remember playlists for Endurance Runs.

Remember the video queue feature? But that wasn't great so whatever.

I know the downloadable playlists are the least selected feature in the poll, so I understand that they are low priority, but they are literally my favourite feature of your site.

This should be easy. I just need to figure out where to put the link. For now it's here.

It won't be able to exist in it's current form. I hope to have a solution for this, but I will work on it after rewriting timestamps and chat archives. Unlike the other features, I have no idea how to do this one yet.

I absolutely love being able to see the chat archived alongside the video - I don't really ever watch the streams before they are archived, so being able to go back and see how chat reacted during a hilarious moment is pretty awesome.

I am a huge fan of the chat archives. I have been a member of this site since day 1 and I love being involved with the community. If I miss a stream your chat archives help me relive the moments that I missed and feel like I was there with everyone else.

Pretty bummed to see downloadable playlists so far behind everything else. That's the most important thing to me by a landslide. Having a playlist of every Quick Look is an awesome thing to fall asleep to, and I do it practically every night, updating the playlist every few days as needed. It's such a fantastic feature of the site and the number one reason I use it.

I feel like a loss of mobile/MP4 support would be a sad day. I do understand that a lot of people are looking for more archival items- but I enjoy having a easier to use mobile interface than stock Giant Bomb.

I think the chat archives is a really cool feature. Sometimes i'd want to see the chat reactions to specific jokes or something. I barely make it for the live events so the archives are my go to. You get the live experience even if you missed the event. Anyways, you do awesome work bud Cheers!
