Suggestions: Votes for Playlists, Full Screen, and Autoplay?

These suggestions have probably been mentioned by someone at some point, but what the hell, if so, I apologize and here they are again.

I think we should be able to vote for which playlists we think are good. Then they can be sorted in the same way regular videos are based on most votes per week, month, year, all time.

I'm just a little disappointed with the ability to find good playlists and a voting system for them would make it much easier and add a new level to finding great playlists.


And I know this suggestion is asking a lot, but is there a way to add both full screen playing feature as well as auto play feature to the playlists?

It would be so great if we could find a good playlist and full screen it on our computers and then have it play though all the clips automatically without having to choose the next one manually. Maybe this could also work with the channels? It seems like it could work; aren't the videos all resized to max size already when we submit them to the sift?

Then, for example, we could watch a whole bunch of random sports clips or family guy clips (or both) in a row without needing to do anything. Holy crap, if this happened I'd never leave Videosift.


Thanks for reading.

oh I should probably have mentioned that I still have a crappy non-hidef TV and my computer is hooked up to it for internet video watching.

I understand that a lot of people probably don't want to watch crappy quality youtube in full screen on their monitors up close or on their kickass 500-inch plasma/lcd hidef TVs and projectors.

but on an older 30-inch lowdef TV from the couch it's really hard to even notice the low quality of full screen internet streaming vids.

I'm in favour of autoplay.

And what about an option to save the whole playlist as .mp4 files with one click?

Some time ago some playlists were featured:

I think playlists should indeed have more exposure as they serve as more specialised channels (maybe make it possible to relate channels to playlists?

and collections of videos that reflects a member's taste.

Then there's the embeddable playlists idea:

It's a pity this feature disappeared..
