Please make a bracket for the ign ipl starcraft that makes it easy to navigate the replays.

154 votesThat’d be a nice addition. In general, we need to make it easier to find replays of all IPL matchups.

Make it so your commercials don't melt my speakers playing at maximum possible volume.
I normally like to support esports by watching their commercials, but when you wake up every person in my house with your commercials, you come off my exceptions list.
74 votesThanks. We’re just as annoyed by this as you. We’ll let you know once we’ve fixed our player to respect the volume settings during ads.

iPad/iPhone Support for Streaming or VoDs.
Support for iPad and iPhone would be awesome because many people enjoy these games while on the bed haha. If streaming support is not possible at least VoD support would be great. I don't think it would be that hard, considering that the VoDs are already encoded in h264. Cheers.
56 votesWe’ve updated IPL TV to support the iPhone and iPad. We’ll testing it over the next few weeks to look for bugs.

Please organize video replays to play automatically down the brackets.
Video replays are mixed, badly titled, and force users to search for the next logical step among the group of __ they are viewing. Given a bracket setup, order videos beginning with group of 16, for instance, then group of 8 losers, then group of 8 winners, etc.
55 votesIdeally, this experience would be spoiler-free so that you can watch a tournament from start to finish. Good idea.

Come up with better naming for matches
Jamie said:
"Both Idra v Fenix and Idra v Drewbie are showing up in the same "playlist" for either "Set 4" group of videos. Fix that.Also, it'd be nice if you included the round (Ro16, Losers Ro8 1) a la GSL, so I can more easily track down the match I want to watch. Just going by date and an arbitrary "Set" (not even matching the listed order on the tournament bracket) is super annoying."

Twitch is our partner, and that’s what’s displayed within their player. We will investigate options.

I’m currently working on updating ipl tv. It should be complete by ipl face off on 8.11

Preload the next match in the set and skip the intro for seamless transition.
When watching a game set the transition from one match to the next is rather sketchy. Making the transition seamless (or nearly-so) would make watching a set more fluent.
25 votesThis is a really good idea. We’d just need to mark when the actual gameplay starts for each VOD.

Can you provide us with more info to work with? Giving us a time of when that has happened and which stream will help us greatly.

Have the commentators give a short bio before each set of games.
Each of the players should be introduced, you need to set the stage. The NASL has the pregame show which gets the watcher excited for the upcoming matches, unfortunately, that excitement dies by the time the first match ends. Plus it is long and rambling. What would be excellent is for short quick explanation as to why each player is notable. Create some drama, something.

Make a filter to see only round of 16, round of 8, etc. To avoid spoilers
It's a bit difficult to watch the games in order and if we take a look at the matches page to know what's the next game we also see the winner.
18 votesMaybe there could be a stripped down way to watch VOD’s that progresses through an IPL tournament. Thanks for the idea.

Enable buffering in VODS
Enable buffering in VODS. There's currently no buffering which is very inconvenient. GOM has done it which has made the VOD viewing experience 10x better. Thanks!
12 votesCurrently streams video to your desktop, which buffers if your connection can’t keep up. We’re working on revising our player so that it buffers more like YouTube.

the twitch tv sign makes people not see the food count could you place at another place, a more dispensable one like above the ipl4 sign!?!

Allow viewers to "like" matches
The number of game videos you gave on your site is huge. It would be nice if you would let people vote up matches so others would know which games are exciting and which ones are boring. I would say don't allow voting down because people will vote down if their favorite player loses.
10 votesGood idea. We don’t do a very good job about letting viewers give love back to VOD’s that they think stand out.

Don't put player names in titles (spoiler reasons)
So I follow a link to watch the IPL VODs that says "watch them in HD for free!"
The very first thing I see is:
Grand Finals - EGIdra vs ROOTKiWiKaKi- Game 1Well, I came here to watch all the games. But now, what is the point. This is the worst kind of spoiler, as it didn't just ruin one match for me it ruined any match that these two play against someone else. So all of the semi-finals, half of the quarter finals. yada yada
9 votesWe’ll look to building a completely spoiler-free VOD experience.

Add links to IGN and IPL for other streams
There needs to be links to the other streams on the IGN and IPL site. I understand your trying to gain more new viewers but if you do not know to look on twitch, TL or reddit , it will become hard to even know about the other streams existence. Think basic like you have never heard of e-sport before and new to the internet.
8 votesWe definitely should have provided a better way to watch all streams on the IPL site or at least linked to them. We’re currently working on a design to support all of our content.

Support for smart phones, not just Apple products.
It's ridiculous that people constantly say "iPhone","iPad" when the majority of people on earth DON'T use those products. If you have support for Apple products then you should have support for Android AND Windows too.
Even spell checker corrects iPhone or iPad if you spell it Iphone, or iphone. Why do these two products get support while the rest of the world doesn't?
I don't own anything Apple, and I never will. So if I'm out of luck because I wont support Apple then I have to ask. What is so special about Apple products that they are the only…

Sort matches by popularity
It would be nice to sort matches by popularity so it's easier to know which series to watch first.
7 votesWe need to do a better job displaying popular videos. Thanks, osman.

Holy fucking shit, just keep doing what ever the hell you are doing. This thing is probably the coolest thing I've seen my whole life.
I've never heard of anything like that. Played a bit of lol and sc2, but didnt even know we had this kind of tournament. Just keep going because I'm loving it.
