FLV dumps for tube sites - what format?
 

I am making FLV dumps and I need to know what format you want them in. If I could get the top 5 or so tube scripts plus what format you need it in that would be great.

url|thumb|title|desc

Title - title of video.
Description - description of video. At least one full grammatically-correct sentence is recommended.
Video URL / Embed Code - URL of flv, wmv or mpg video file.
Thumb URL - URL of thumbnail (screenshot). Full size images are acceptable since Tube Ace owners can resize the thumbs and save to their server.
Duration - Running time (in seconds) of video.
Performers - names of performers appearing in the video (separated by comma).
Tags - tags or keywords pertaining to the video (separated by comma).
Join URL - URL (with affiliate tracking code) of the Join Page.
Site - Name of the website the video is from.

:2 cents:

Ok so tubeace something like this would be ok?
title|description|url|thumb url|duration|performers|tag1,tag2,tag3|join url|site name

Are all these required? Also can you upload the video files or does it have to be a hotlinkable url? Can the url be like "bsmvideo1.flv" and the thumb url be "bsmpic1.jpg"?

Would this be accurate for Mech Bunny:

URL|Title|Description|Tags|site name

TubeX

url|thumb|title|desc

All fields aren't required to work with Tube Ace, but all fields are certainly useful.

Tube Ace can use hotlinkable Video URLs or Save the Video URLs to the server. URLs should be absolute (full URL with http://).

URL|Thumb|Desc|Title for tevs.

TubeAce....

http://www.smart-scripts.com/?action=xml_feed is a standard we have set a few years ago and that many tube scripts followed.

:2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

yes..........

I would add the link to the site, duration, and tags :thumbsup

I think it would be smart if some of these tube scripts had api documentation that linked to this stuff, bravo to TubeAce for having this.

I couldn't find this for TubeX, Mech Bunny, TEVS etc. Would be nice to see the xml format for all these if they take an xml format. Anyone got samples? I want to give our affiliates all available options for their tube scripts.

So far we got the smart scripts & tube ace scripts docs so we should be fine, but the other 3 other than the dump, what format does your XML need to be in?

Interestingly enough, I was just looking this up this past week. So far GetSCORECash.com has exports/feeds for TEVS, Tube Ace, Smart Tube, NubilesTube, Mech Bunny, TubeX, as well as RSS format... are there any more out there? Nice to see a biz thread around here.

XML only!

Yes, almost all tube scripts are able to parse it. E.g.: Turning your blog into a tube site :thumbsup

Good info!!

STXT is the unofficial industry standard

And the export format is.....

Thanks, thought that was for TubeX :pimp

Np, and it probably is, the XML format was adopted by many other tube scripts, i think Tube Ace were first adopting it.
