TeamTuxedo

The Video Playlist players on TeamTuxedo are not working properly at the moment, and I think I know why. YouTube is having technical issues they are currently working on. There was a small announcement in a corner of the help files that sort of amounted to a “sorry about that” note.

SYSTEM ALERT: Video Views in My Account are temporarily down
We’ve temporarily removed the sum of all your video’s views while we sort out a technical issue with the code that generates it. In the meantime, the top-level Insight page allows you to track the sum of your videos’ views on a day-by-day basis so you can identify big changes without checking every single one of your videos. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This isn’t about embedding custom play list players in webpages like I’ve done here at TeamTuxedo. It appears to be an issue with displaying the view count to a member who uploads the video. Suspiciously, the video playlists started acting up two days before this announcement. I suspect that whatever glitches YouTube is working out are also effecting other functions on their site, to one degree or another. In the mean time, I have taken a few of the best videos and embedded them individually on their respective pages to make them viewable until things are back to normal with the mother ship.
