Error adding a trailer

Hyomil 14 years, 8 months ago at Sep 13 16:59 -
Had a problem adding a trailer to www.listal.com/movie/chasing-my-girl/videos Said it was added, but no preview thumbnail was displayed, so I added it again and it was the same. Third time was the charm, though, as that one displayed the thumbnail. The first 2 attempts remain, though, with just the Views count displayed, and there's no way to delete them without a thumbnail to get to them. Trailer link I used was:

I've changed it so they can now be clicked on to be deleted.

Also I have fixed the title so Chinese characters can be displayed but still it would be best if you could change the title of the other video to something in English.

Thanks for the fixes. I don't mind changing the titles, but more people might be inclined to if there were an optional drop-down menu to choose Trailer, Trailer (Fan-made), Teaser, Sneak Peak, Clip or Sample Scene, Music Video, Title Sequence, 'Making Of' Featurette, Interview, Deleted/Extended Scene, Movie Review, Trailer Review, Slideshow, or Parody. And also Subtitled and Spoiler checkboxes.

It wouldn't be much help in filtering since most videos wouldn't need them, but it would help users pick which would be the most appropriate labels to use for videos. Before seeing a movie, I'd rather watch a trailer than a teaser if both are available, an official trailer over a fan-made one, a trailer with subtitles rather than one without, a sample scene more than an interview, a movie review more than a trailer review or parody, etc. Another advantage of an automatic system like this would be that these labels could be made graphically distinct from the rest of the title (different color/font/size/background/frame) so that differences between similarly-titled videos would stand out. (www.listal.com/suggestion/229)

It would also be good if any user could add/change the labels of existing videos to help clean things up, much like the main data of the movie. That would be particularly helpful for a Spoiler checkbox. Probably seldom needed, but sometimes someone just posts a favorite scene from a movie and you might think that it was an officially released preview clip. Or a "review" of a movie is actually a discussion of it that includes discussing the ending.
