Just my two cents... a great idea, and if it was pulled together in 24 hours then bravo!

The site needs to be tightened up though, I got no results for my favorite artist and for another artist the first two "videos" weren't videos.

Please do not post obfuscated links.


Sites like musicvideogenome.com and tubalr.com (and netflix) make me want some sort of app or widget that can scrape/redirect video from a portion of my browser or screen and turn it into a source that VLC can multicast across my network.


There are solutions (if you google) for live screencasting a part of your desktop to the web. If you want to skip the step of uploading to web, seems you could always remote in to the computer from another terminal and adjust the window so it show just the video?


Thanks.

What I am looking for is a simple, inexpensive (free), way to multicast a part of my screen to various unused monitors around my place. So I can pretend to be Best Buy, or a pub and have all my monitors from living room to bedroom to bathroom all be showing the same YouTube video or netflix movie.

For instance, for audio, I used squeezeserver. VLC can do something similar if it's given a VLC friendly source (which seems from my experience to basically be a hardware device.)

VLC doesn't solve the problem of synchronization that squeezeserver addresses, but it does make the multicasting and display portion of the problem easy.

I don't know of anything (for free or inexpensive) that can do that yet....



This seems very similar to tubalr.com, which was on Hacker News 2-3 months ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2428774

I like them both.


If its the Pandora for Music Videos wheres the Like button on the video? i want to start customizing the channel i just created!

Well done!


This is pretty fun! But would there be a way to avoid having too many videos of the same artist to help discover new ones maybe? Seems that most of the artists I tried returns a lot of songs with the same artist (especially the one searched).

Also why limit the number of results? I tried a few and it does not seem to be "hardcoded" anyway.


It was made in 24 hours! I'm working on improving the results and making it endless.


I'd love that! Other improvements would be to have account and allow us to tag artist we really dislike or really like/know, etc. Another last minute thing, it would be nice to clear the background when performing a new search! I had the bad luck of launching a new search right when the previous clip displayed a lovely woman in underwear and I wouldn't love to see this at work :p


Looking good! And it was made in 24h? Excellent work guys! On a similar note, check out http://www.tubufy.com. Basically a Spotify/Last.FM/MOG playlist -> video channel tool that I released into the wild this summer.


This site is awesome....Im not sure its actually giving recommendations it seems just like the similar links from youtube but great idea


Made at Hackday.tv in NYC this past weekend? Great job guys! Some very interesting hacks came out of this event.


Was at Hackday.TV this weekend - and must say these guys (creators of VHX) did an amazing job. Well done guys!


I must say... I like this.


Well, this is awesome.


really gonna enjoy this on my google tv.
