Any YouTube fans out there? I like to watch full episodes of South Park on YouTube and so I wanted a way to sort videos by length. I made a little website for myself and friends that would do just that. Check it out.
In a day or two I plan on giving it the ability to recognize a multi-part video, find the other parts, and organize them for you.
I would love to hear suggestions.
In case you want to know. The whole website is run by a C# console application. I wrote my own webserver. The pages and video cache are held in RAM. I have a timer on the pages that shows how long they took to build and I have yet to see it exceeed 1ms. If the program crashes I will lose the entire cache, so try to be gentle.
i searched for other things (the i knew existed on YT) that weren’t in the cache and needed to be added, that took forever and then they didn’t produce results.
The server crashed once today. Sometime this evening I am going to start writing the cache to disk as a backup and set up an automatic server restart.
I really have no idea why it did not return any results after taking time to cache something. Please give it another try. If it happens again you can send me your search query and I will inspect the cache and try it for myself.
I forgot to mention… You can navigate away from the “caching progress” page and come back later. You can even search for other things, although that may just add to the caching load if you happen to search for something new. I may add a list of a cached searches to the homepage.
