Looking for input on tube script (for legal site)

It's really pretty easy to massage any list into a nubiles list and import it. It takes a bit of monotonous time doing but it also expands the sponsors that you can work with immensely.

Eliminating most them, I'm down to just a few.

The Nubiles script is one I'll stick somewhere as a test to see how it stacks up against whichever of the commercial scripts I decide to use. Then the finals are down to TEVS and TubeX, but I still do want to take a look at Tube Ace and also that expensive script with a bunny in its name.

And I'll take a look at STXtube now that's it's been mentioned since that one wasn't on my list.

Be interesting to see what you come up with. I know I decided to go with the Nubiles script because I really didn't see any features in TEVS or Tube Ace that warranted paying for the script.

The only real feature I wish the nubiles script had was commenting as I think commenting would feed better into the rating aspect and ratings would feed better into the commenting.

But, given my experience with blogs, I actually wonder how much use the commenting feature would get.

I like the feature in Tevs that lets you "Pre Approve Videos". A number of vids in your data base to be displayed on a day/month/year. I think it goes up to the year 2010.

Do the other tube scripts in this thread, have this feature? To pre approve videos in advance to display?

Gave The stx tube Script A Shot As The Install Instructions On The Website Make It Sound Like A 5 Year Old Could Do It....To No Avail.

Then Tried The 2nd Set Of Install Instructions Accompanied With The Download....FAIL Again.

Guess I'll Go Back To Playin With The Automagick Script.

Nubiles you can schedule them by hour, day, week.

Cool, by the hour sounds handy, how far in advance will it let you schedule? What year will it let you go to?

So far I'm leaning towards JMB's TubeX because it seems to be the only one of the reasonably priced scripts which can generate animated thumbnails. Still need to look further into this but it's on my 'must have' features list since I think a tube site needs those to keep surfers coming back. Plus I agree with Wazza about JMB's stuff in general. I've used most of Jeremy's scripts over the years and support is always good (and upgrades free). I wish it was out of beta but I can deal with that I think.

I liked TEVS but no animated thumbs, and stats functions need more detail.

I like MechBunny but at $1,500 (to start) it's more than I need, and definitely more for someone who wants to have users uploading content.

I still need to spend some time with Tube Ace to see how it stacks up and if it can make the animated thumbs.

Anyone use Tube Ace?

Or actively using TubeX on a site?

Or have any other input?

[FuckingBastard]

Or a blog with a tube theme. I just start one of it.

are you using this script

I have heard good things about it

Only Had The New Version Of The Site Up For About Two Weeks Now So I'm Still Mass Uploading Sponsor Content.
Some Sponsors Have A Shuffle Export & Some Do Not.

Driving A Truck For 10 Hours And Then Workin On The Site Until The Wee Hours Of The Morning I Haven't Been Too Worried About That Just Yet.

Still A Work In Progress.... But I Do Appreciate The Feedback.

[Simon]

Thanks, FB, and I did consider trying a blog with a tube theme. I also considered using Joomla with a tube module addon. But for this project I really want a tube script, something written specifically for use on a tube site.

Okay, while that bunny script has a lot of features I like, it's too expensive for my first site. Maybe it'll be worth moving to down the road, but it has more features than I have any use for on this project.

TEVS is out for no animated thumbs and shallow stats. Aside from that it's a good choice I think.

Tube Ace is out for no animated thumbs and a user interface I just don't like. Second reason is just a personal preference and the first reason is supposed to be taken care of in the next release.

So I'm going to give TubeX a try.

Wish me luck.

Or don't.

[LD]

TubeX is out of beta now, and looking good.

It took me about 10 minutes to throw this up

I plan to spend some quality time with it in the coming weeks..

[Evil Chris]

Liquid Media is a name I keep hearing recently.
Supposedly one of the best, but not free either.

Anyway, probably worth a look: http://www.fluid14.com/

agreed on jmb being awesome.

that iphone feature on mediaxxx is pretty cool too though.

Cleo - first time I visited your new tube site was on an iPod Touch and I thought your site was down and you were intentionally sending me to the Brazzers site for some reason. Didn't realize it was the script doing it behind your back. That really sucks.

[Cleo]

I'm waiting to hear back from Sextronix if I get paid for signups through Brazzers or not so let's not all jump to any conclusions. Someone's NATS code is in there, hopefully it's there to track sales for Sextronix's affiliates.

If I find out that I'm not going to get credit for these sales then I'll just switch out the script keeping the same directory for this tube along with any trades that I have.

In the coming weeks I'll be surfing just about all my sponsor links on my iPhone to see what else is being redirected without my knowledge.

Mac Safari uses also have a very easy way to see what mobile uses are seeing using the Developer’s menu to change the use agent.



There is also a Firefox plugin I think to do this.

[Simon]

No conclusion jumping here. Just thinking it would be a lot of backend tracking on the part of Sextronix to credit affiliates for sales made at Brazzers unless they asked you to enter your own Brazzers affiliate code somewhere during the script setup process or at the sponsor site's admin. Otherwise I'm just thinking you're probably not going to get credit. And probably wouldn't be able to see the Brazzers stats to verify anything.

[HowlingWulf]

Brazzers programs will redirect your mobile traffic anyway. Their response:

“We do not credit mobile sales coming from pc sites.

There are several reasons for this:

1) We do not pay the same PPS for a mobile join as we do for a pc join.
This being said, we cannot credit you for a sale that is sent through a pc
site.
2) We have conducted tests and users are very unlikely to join our site
with an unoptimized join page, therefore, even if you are sending surfers by
chance to Baby Got Boobs, you would have not gotten a sale.”

The firefox plugin for switching user agents is User Agent Switcher.

[Simon]

What absolute bullshit.

All they'd have to do is pay for the sale at the PPS rate they *do* pay on mobile traffic, but no, instead they just say users are unlikely to join so "fuck you affiliate, just in case someone does join we're not paying you a fucking penny."

Assholes.

I've setup a tube site using the Nubile's script this week. It's pretty simple to use and upload clips via the flv import thingo. The templates are a bit tricky to edit and you do have to dick about with the .css files, though you can pay a designer to skin it all.

For a free script I can't complain though it does have 2 built in hard links which leak your traffic, so in the future I will replace it with the paid tubeace script.

ya know if any of you wanted to submit those tube movie pages as gallery's. I would list them .. I am talking about a page like this

[Ramster]

It surprises you what Brazzers does? They run a TON of other ILLEGAL tube sites and have for a long long time. Why would stealing your mobile traffic be any different?

[Toby]

What surprises me is that people are still sending those slimy fucks traffic.

Is Brazzers and Juggcash the same?

Yes. All Juggcash content is watermarked brazzers.com
Should be obvious.

[dunc]

I wasn't using the content, just linking from a hub... but I guess I should have looked more closely at the site as it has Brazzers slapped all over it - thanks for the clarification though
