Hi Michael
I am also keen for a Video share area on my board. As I am using an exteranal one at the moment which has intergration (permission) troubles.
We use our video area alot on our site and these are some features I would like to put my hand up for.
Some have been said but I would like to say them again so you know what is wanted.
uploading of files
thumbnails of videos
nice front page ie the youtube or portal look like you mentioned
images for catagories (plus title)
group permissions of course
user ability to set permission of their video (option to alow this in admin?)
embed and bb code
hook for latest 5 videos
playlists would be nice
Channels or link in their profile to their videos so their profile becomes like their channel
related videos recent videos in the same window as the video player
rss feed
I think this would make for a very popular mod. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Cheers
