Thank Clubby for creating it
And thanks for the suggestion Adam!
Also, so that this thread turns on topic, I thought I'd let everyone know that there will soon be a new KlikCast page so you can easily access all current episodes of the KlikCast. There is also a rating system for episodes that is separated from the downloads page - so that actual games are fairly compared now. Just need Rikus to give the okay for the page and it'll be up

Downloads work fine for me. I am looking into alternatives such as being able to stream the video, that way you don't actually have to wait until it's downloaded.
YouTube quality is generally very sucky and you can only upload like 10 minutes of video at a time (unless you get membership I think).
I'm looking into alternatives though (the downloads will still be available for those who want them as well).
Wow i come back from work and then all of this! very cool! About the streaming, i tried youtube but the 10min limit thing really does not work. The problem with Veoh is that while it does the job (thanks mr lazy for that it is apriciated btw so others can still watch the show) the movements on the screen with this streaming site look a bit choppy, wich is a shame with game reviews and such. Flava did you find anything yet that would keep the quality but still would allow for streaming?
Other then that i'm proud we now have our own forum and with this the cast can only get better (yay
Be sure to follow us on the twitters for the latest and greatest: @dailyclick
I managed to find a free flash video player that plays the videos (they have to be converted to FLV first, but that's not a problem).
I'll have to talk to Clubby about whether or not it'd put any strain on the server and such first - but if not then we can just directly stream the video from our server (or use somebody elses if they're willing to let us *hint* *hint*)
Edit: Just put a stream up for episode 4 - seems to work really well, check it out! Doing streams for episodes 5 and 6 now!
Just converted episodes 5 and 6 to FLV - going to take a while to upload to the server, but once done you'll be able to stream those too
I'll make sure all future episodes and such are available for streaming too!
Yeh I'm aware there is a problem with the streaming version of episode 6 - seems to be an error every time I convert it to FLV.
Just waiting on Rikus to get back to me and hopefully it will be fixed. Sorry guys!
