New HEXUS.tv in development

[Steve]

A new version of HEXUS.tv is currently in development and will be officially launched rather soon.

Here we're going to cover pre/post launch issues and accept feedback on it.

Currently the URL's not public; we're showing it to people though. It'll be made public in due course.

For this version of HEXUS.tv we've tried to make browsing videos as easy as possible, bearing in mind video is a completely different medium to the text-based stuff you'll find around the rest of HEXUS.

We hope you'll like it - we do already and it's not even done yet

Known issues

• No search facility
• Styling is incomplete
• No sorting of results
• Improved information on page listings
• No information displayed beneath the show player
• Video thumbnails need converting to new versions
• Some pages not present

Recent updates

• Changed the way the show listings work so they're now middle-clickable (not that they go anywhere yet)
• Made some buttons for the site categories
• Show pages now load when you middle click.

Shall we allude to the beta URL more?

Shall we allude to the beta URL more?

I got it on the second guess

The hexus.tv beta url isn't exactly obscure!

[TAKTAK]

Shall we allude to the beta URL more?

yah it really wasn't that hard to get... i tried one and then tried it...

You didn't have to come out and actually tell everyone TAKTAK, at least make someone do a little bit of work!

I like the page count in the top right corner of the video list, especially when there is only one page

Should all the videos have preview images? Some aren't loading for me just now.

Looks nice, but a bit dark compared to the hexus main site...

[Peter Parker]

Thanks for an excuse to view some games trailers on my new monitor! I wish they were in HD format though.

Will the related links include a link to the forums?

There will be more than one page per video list soon (just whilst we push more content through...)

and yes they will end up with the images, some are missing due to us having 2 sites live at the same time it's causing some of them missing (due to the new site needing us to do them manually for now)
