  1. Make the option to create a playlist, rather than waiting for a video to end to click on a new one.

    Almost every time I watch the Daily Fix, I see something in the Hot Videos list that catches my attention, and I miss part of the video I'm watching. With an "Add to playlist" option, I could enjoy the video I'm watching, then roll straight into the next one, even if it's completely unrelated. Or, I could read an article on a game, add a video from the library into my playlist, and move on to another game. Maybe even make this exclusive to members only, with Insiders getting the benefit of Uninterrupted Playlists, so they don't have to watch…

    • Let us change the video quality from AUTO to HD without moving to "videos" webpage.

      Hi,

      When I'm at the front page or reading one of the articles, I click 'Play' on one of the flash videos.

      I want to be able to change the video quality of that flash video from AUTO to HD (inside the article/ front page) without jumping over to 'http://www.ign.com/videos/'; page.

      I've found this very annoying since before you moved to the new videos system. You could never change the video quality from low to high inside the embedded video.

      Other than that, I love the site. Keep up the good work!

      Let me know if this is…

      • better web player

        can u introduce a new properly working web player. cuz the existing web player always gets stuck, takes a long time to buffer, and stops buffering half way through. and then i have to reload the page and go through the whole process again. this problem has been there for several years.

          A new player is being developed to address these issues. It’d be released very soon.

            • HTML5 support for video on computer browsers.

              HTML5 support for video on desktop browsers. Flash crashes Safari a lot, so HTML5 would be ideal. IGN is the only site left that I go to that doesn't support HTML5 video on computers.

              • Video Player still doesn't work

                The new player that just came out (March 2012) won't load the videos, the circle around the play button just keeps spinning as if it's loading but it doesn't start. I'm on Firefox and in Canada (your old video player actually worked perfectly for me...)

                      • Video buffering problem

                        Hi, I just want to say. When I watch any IGN video, I pause it so it can completely finish buffering. And somehow, when I do it goes to this specific length buffered and all then stops buffering. Then when I unpause it starts buffering again. This is very annoying and its 2010 guys common we cant be subjected to these kind of minor yet very painful inconveniences.

                          • Fix the video player turning green and tearing the video

                            The video always turns green halfway during the video in SD. When HD, it turns green right away. It'd be nice if it didn't do that.

                              Please! Just use Youtube! Your player is SOO bad. I love you guys though, seriously.

                                We’re building a new video player to address this and related issues with the existing player.

                                This is the best way to keep track of new videos.

                                  Videos are completely black in 3 major browsers (IE 8, Firefox 3.6 and Chome something), with newest flash player installed. Obviously there is something seriously wrong with the site at your end. Fix it.

                                    every now and then the vieo player gets messed up. Green and purple colors cover up the screen which makes it hard to see the content. I'm asking to see if its a bug or something wrong with it, or if you can use a different video player

                                    • allow better video quality

                                      The standard and hd video quality here are decently good, but when compared with Youtube's top notch video streaming, it pales in comparison. Full screen 1080p and even without that the quality is just a whole lot sharper looking.

                                      • skip adverts or more then one

                                        so far in the past 2 days i have watched many of your videos and each and everytime i have been forced to watch the same advert for the darkness 2 over and over. it would be less irritating if i could skip it or if the was more variety in your choice of adverisments, however this is but one flaw in an otherwise decent video service.
                                        hope this helps/ you decide to use more then on advert.

                                        • Disable auto play on videos

                                          Not sure if I'm just missing something, but it seems on some videos there's no auto-play enabled after the video's done, and other videos where it is enabled. Very annoying when I'm browsing the rest of the page, or reading through comments. Would be great if it was just disabled all the time. I can watch other videos if and when I want to. There's no need to force me.
