Neave.TV Help (2006-2008)
// What is it?

Neave.tv is "creativity in a telly stylee" — a selection of top quality, creative, weird and wonderful videos I've found on the web, presented in a TV-style (continuously streaming video in your full browser window) and powered by Blip.tv, Google Video and YouTube.

It tries to challenge the concept of video over the web. Why have video stuck inside a tiny box inside a webpage with a scrub-bar, a five star rating and a comments section? Computers can do so much more than that. It's a TV experience; it's not about finding content, it's about watching it. There's deliberately no commercials nor boring videos where you need to skip to the good part — just sit and watch. That's the idea anyway.

// Did you make all the videos?

No, they've been created by many different people. In some cases I've edited and redubbed the videos to give them a punchier feel, but for the most part they're untouched from the original footage. If you want to learn more about a particular video, click on the web address in the top-left corner of the screen when it cycles round, or by right-clicking and choosing from the context menu.

// Can you customise the Neave.tv player for my site?

I'm afraid not. Neave.tv is a highly experimental interface and has only been created to demonstrate a concept, not to promote a product in itself. Please feel free to take the idea and recreate it yourself. Trust me, it would be a nightmare to reverse engineer my application to your needs. Sorry about that. If you'd like to set up a video channel you should try using the services already provide by YouTube in a blog or similar.

Can I submit a video?

Of course you can. Email your links to me and I'll be glad to check 'em out.

// Can I watch Neave.tv on my Nintendo Wii or Sony PS3?

I'd love to be able to offer Neave.tv on the Wii or PS3 but unfortunately both only support Flash Player 7, and Neave.tv needs at least Flash Player 8. Hopefully Flash Player 9 will be available for both platforms in the coming months, so keep an eye out.
