This works with Zune HD?   Incredible release, dude. Can't wait to pick up my Zune HD, whenever that is! "

Works great. Good job!

Trying it with iTunes, and it works. Pretty awesome stuff! Not going to lie though, I'd probably never use this with iTunes, but it's good for people that would! Glad to know this works with Zunes though, so I can do this whenever I buy a Zune HD.
 
I pretty much just watch the videos when they go up and never check them out again. What I did notice is that the quality isn't too great, but is that from the video?

you should get a picture for the podcast feed

Even though I dont use an Ipod etc. (though I might see how my PSP likes it) ive hooked Opera into it so I can save bandwidth since for most games the extra quality dosent mean much to me. Thanks dude :)

Hm, interesting use, didn't think of that. "

Ill throw one of videos onto my (fully updated) PSP to see if it supports it so you can add it to your feature list :)

Very nice, i might go back and watch the endurance run now... Seeing as though i have a hour long commute to and from work every day...
 
Nice work OP!

Putting it in the /VIDEO folder (the current folder that the PSP likes) shows up as "Unsupported Data". The videos on gamespot listed as "Ipod" videos are supported on PSP so ill go find out what they are to see if its something you could use. "

Sadly there's not much I can change. All I can do is make a nice xml file for podcast  aggregators to look at and be able to list and download videos from the GiantBomb servers. I can't really change the video files themselves. "

Where do the .mp4 videos come from? I usually download the .flv from the .xml attached to the video page. "

They are on the GiantBomb servers too, but they're not publicly listed anywhere. "

EIther they are doing it for themselves or perhaps that means they planned/are planning this for their Ipod app. Since its not you making them you cant changed it but either way I think I found the problem, the PSP only accepts certain resolutions (though it supports .mp4 itself) and gamespot gives video at a resolution which PSP likes but also Ipods (though its slightly lower quality than the giant bomb ones).

The Giant Bomb .mp4's seem to list as: 480*270

The Gamespot .mp4's seem to lsit as: 320*180

Hopefully one of the video production guys will read this and can hopefully look into making the files publically accesable and in a form that more media devices can use.

This is great!
 
And you! Yes, you! You are awesome!

I have changed the feed address, please see OP for details. Sorry for the inconvenience. It won't be changing again.

I would also love to have separate feeds for different videos (Quick look, reviews, TANG, Endurance run, etc...)

I thought about this when i when i tried out Miro the other day, i had to use the Giantbomb Youtube account.

Thanks a million!

Hmm, I wonder if miro plays FLV files. If it does, I could make an FLV feed so it looks nicer. I may look into that. "

Thanks for posting this. I've been thinking of creating something for the PSP to show GB content. After deciding to surf the web on my PSP the other night before sleep, I noticed the site was definitely NOT optimized in any way to view on a portable device with limited memory. I've been thinking of creating a GiantBomb media-lite site to rectify this. Probably pretty niche, but something that I'd like to use nonetheless.

This is sweet. Retarded question coming up but i'm tired so it's allowed =P
 
Clicked subscribe and it automatically downloaded the gravity crash ql. What if i want old stuff that's already been released?

Thanks a ton!  Break time at work will never be the same again!

You sir are a legend. Thanks so much.

The one thing I would like to see is separate feeds for Quick Looks, Reviews, and promo videos sent out by companies.

You efforts to this site are awesome.
You must have alot of free time, and most of what you make seems pretty solid. If I never had an Iphone..........

Awesome job.  I'm trying Miro right now.  ^__^

Main feed has a small error and may not update correctly. Working on fixing it.
