Myspace Videos

Zootool supports tons of video sites to make your Zoo the perfect place for your favourite videos. Today I am glad to finally introduce Myspace video support!! Sometimes things on the web are jinxed - there’s a super easy way to find out about the thumbnail url of Myspace videos but I needed more than four months to find it. Of course I didn’t really spend all my time with this shit, but I had about three or four afternoons during this time digging through google and the myspace developer site without success. Looking back I must have been blind but that’s the way it is sometimes.

Another thing is embedded videos. The lasso has always been able to find embedded videos on websites, but it was pretty lame in recognizing them. The only way to save them in your Zoo was to directly open the embedded videos in Youtube, Vimeo or whatever and click the lasso once again. That’s over now for most of the supported video sites. If you discover a video from Youtube, Vimeo, Myspace, Blip.tv, Viddler and most of the rest on a blog or webpage you will be able to select it with the lasso and save it with all the thumbnail and embed stuff now. The rest will follow as soon as possible.
