Does this have anything to do with the fact that I can't view ANY videos here? I see the thumbnail, but when I open to view I get a blank space where the vid should be.
I'm running the latest Flash and FireFox 3

[edit] never mind, must just be a YouTube issue, I can see Google and other sources.

Yeah, channel assignments are pretty weird. On all video listing pages, the channel assignments for the first video are repeated for all other videos, but the correct channel is shown if I go to an individual video page.

I promoted a video that had already been sifted, but it was floated to the Unsifted page instead of the front page.

edit: fixed now, thanks lucky

even sifty doesn't want to work on Saturday. You should bribe him with a couple of after-work drinks.

^Same here as what jonny said. All the vids in someone's pqueue listing had all the same 4 channel tags as the first video, and I noticed the same in my own pqueue listing.

No Top 15 Sidebar.

I noticed that in the sifted tab, it looks like all the videos have the same channels as the first video. Same thing in the unsifted tab and the beggar's canyon.

lucky760 (http://lucky760.videosift.com) — Sat, 03 May 2008 21:29:34 -0700

Fixed missing top 15 sidebar and repeated video channels.

The other channel selection problems should be okay now too. Please report if you disagree.

Fixing videos doesn't work atm, I replaced the embed on this video http://www.videosift.com/video/William-Orbit-Barbers-Adagio-For-Strings-hypnotic-video
with
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jdznz-i1IN8&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jdznz-i1IN8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

But I got a System Error.

The message associated with the error is:
We apologize for the interruption in service, but an internal error has occurred while interacting with a database. (Unknown column 'post_channels_cache' in 'field list')

I noticed an extreme amount of videos in my pqueue

there's definitely a problem

Seems like any kind of video-modifying is causing database errors now.

Oops. So sorry for not addressing it for such a long time, but that error should be gone now.

Hmm, I am still seeing channels (e.g., election08) that I filtered on home page and my submission queue list. Still not fixed to me!

Zeph (http://zeph.videosift.com) — Sun, 04 May 2008 23:04:51 -0700

I've noticed a new problem, videos aren't showing channels that are added by members after the video is queued.
An example is here, it should be in three channels but I see it in zero.

He didn't say how it was fixed. Maybe that WAS the fix!

Ah. Soh-ree abote thaht, ey. </canadian_accent>

It was fixed but only if you had at least one channel filter on. Now it should be fixed for everyone.

whose dick do i have to suck to get my question answered? I was under the impression that if the video was submitted under 2 weeks ago, and published under 4 days ago AND has enough votes, it should be on the top 15

FAQ:
This sidebar selects videos with the most votes that were last queued within the past four days and originally submitted within the past two weeks, then lists them ordered with most votes first. If you think a video should be listed but isn't, it is either because it was queued more than 4 days ago (hover your mouse over "published by" to see a sifted video's queue date), was originally posted more than 2 weeks ago, or it does not have a high enough vote total compared to the other videos listed.

maybe i'm reading into that wrong.

Rrrrrr. I hate necroposting but I also don't want to spam your profile, lucky. Here's hoping you'll see this:

I'm afraid something's wrong with the Unsifted listing order when I opt for best votes-to-views ratio. Here's a screenie:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/54992e6667562

I do hope it's easy to sort this out. By the way, listing for worst votes-to-views is also fairly incorrect, although not so glaringly obvious as for best ratio
