Usability
– Thumbnails rarely Auto generate
– Finding the ability to add the Thumbnail is difficult
– Knowing What File Types and Codecs are Supported is Trial & Lots of
Error
– Drag and Drop Times out Frequently and Often Hangs (but works
behind the scenes)
– Sizes – Very difficult to determine if upload will fail or succeed.
– Defaults aren’t friendly – Ratings off, Metadata needs to be turned on
– UI is a challenge for external embedding
– Browsers handle playback different
– IE 10 may not detect HTML5 support and require Silverlight download
– There is no 64 bit Silverlight player and may not fail to HTML5 player
