http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/category_schema
This URL returns a 404.

I am trying to investigate the Category List for converting MRSS
specified categories to local categories.

Anyone know what these categories are?

eg: <media:category
scheme="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/category_schema"><![CDATA[television/2/14]]\
></media:category>

I'm having the same issue, I am looking for details of the yahoo MRSS
category schema. They are not at http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/category_schema

For reference here are categories for a few other distributors -
essentially Im looking for a Yahoo version of the same, or any other
emerging standard.

Truveo - http://developer.truveo.com/DirectorDocumentation.php
iTunes - http://apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html

I did have a category schema for Live.com video search, I'll see if I
can dig that up too.

Any pointers in the meantime would be appreciated!

Posted through Grouply, the better way
to access your Yahoo Groups like this one.
http://www.grouply.com/?code=post

heya!

im trying to accomplish something similar to googles sitemap index + video
sitemaps but using mrss for yahoo video search engine.

yes i understand mrss files should be nice and short, but i would like to get my
past videos into yahoos video search initially.

so does anyone know if theres a way to create some sort of index file that
points to 'sub mrss feeds'?

while on this subject, what is the maximum size of mrss feed yahoo will accept?

thanks in advance!

Hi !

I am new with MRSS. Maybe you can help me with this question :

If im grouping <media:content> in a <media:group> how can i then select one of
this content if they have no ID ?

I have 3 different representations for a video (low quality, high quality and
high definition)

I need to know which representations have the videos through my MRSS.

is there any tag or attribute for <media:content> to tag them with a
personalized ID ?

For example :

<media:group>
   <media:content url="http://localhost/lowqualityvideo.flv" ID="LQ" />
   <media:content url="http://localhost/highQvideo.flv" ID="HQ" />
   <media:content url="http://localhost/hdefvideo.flv" ID="HD" />
</media:group>

So when im iterating over the MRSS i can check if the current video has an ID =
HD to show the HD button in my player.

Any suggestions?

If I have multiple <media:content> inside <media:group> i need to have multiple
<media:player> for each <media:content>

Maybe this way :

<media:group>
   <media:content ...>
     <media:player ...>
   </media:content>
</media:group>

And again. We need to identify the <media:content> tags to know whick one is
which representation of the media.

My question is if I can have one <media:player> for each <media:content> and if
the mrss standard will add an ID propertie or something to the <media:content>
label to identify each content label.

Hi !

It seems that your MRSS from http://www.veetubes.com/media/feed.xml are not
standard compliant. There are <sy..> tags that are not defined by the standard

and <content:description> value must be entity encoded.

Good Day

My name is Gina and I am conducting a study into the effectiveness of current
interoperability protocols.

If you have worked with interoperability protocols (such as OAI-PMH and RSS),
please complete the short questionnaire at:
http://banzai.cs.uct.ac.za/survey/index.php?sid=97137&lang=en

This questionnaire is expected to take only 5 - 10 minutes of your time.
This study is conducted as part of an MSc degree in the Digital Libraries
Laboratory, Department of Computer Science at
the University of Cape Town.

hi.

so i have found i had a small issue with my mrss file.

i have now fixed it, it had to do with <media:player... its all proper now.

but the entries that have been indexed by yahoo are not fixed.

will yahoo videos make changes from the updated mrss file?

thanks.

Hi,

I'm putting http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/ into my browser, which used to display
the spec and have the correct namespace on the page. At the moment, I'm getting
a 302 back to

Location: http://video.search.yahoo.com/mrss


and that URL is used as the namespace URI in the rendered specification.

Anyone else noticed this and know who to raise it with? I don't want any more
ambiguity in the world as to the correct namespace URI for this extension!

Cheers,

James

Folks,

I apologize for the issues on behalf of Yahoo.
There were indeed some problems with the spec. This happened when we were moving
the spec to the Video Search servers so it would be easier to respond to issues
and requests henceforth.

In any case, we have reverted back the spec. We are also working on a newer
version of the spec that addresses some concerns this group had pointed out
earlier, as well as some enhancements that we felt would be good to have.

We will send that out for review to you soon.

Thanks,
Sapna

     It looks like Yahoo once again arbitrarily changed the spec without
     telling anybody.

     As of the last update that anybody was aware of, we had:

     03/12/2008 - Namespace corrections: [1.1.2]

         * Added trailing slash to namespace


     The correct namespace *should* be exactly what you posted.
     Apparently, Yahoo thought it'd be a good idea to change the
     namespace again and break all sorts of parsing software. It is
     embarrassing how badly they've bungled this spec.

     Once upon a time it fell to Jeremy Zawdony, but he's left Yahoo
     since then. From what I can tell, nobody at Yahoo is paying
     attention to this spec.

heya!

so i like things to be perfect.

and a byte saved, is well... a byte saved.

so for the good of both my server, and yahoos servers... i would like to remove
all the whitespace in my mrss files... just the tabs and linebreaks between each
line.

will this break an mrss file?

thank you kindly,

tomek.

Hi,

Just curious, where all are you removing your white spaces? For example :
if you convert  <rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
to  <rssversion="2.0"xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"> , then its
going to break your mrss file, as it breaks the xml structure itself.

If you are keeping the xml structure intact, and removing white spaces only from
your content, then it should be fine technically, but then your content might
loose readability. For e.g., removing spaces from the title of your vides would
absolutely make no sense.

Thanks
-Nilesh

heya!

i think i mis-termed that.

what i meant, was for example:

<media:content ... </media:content>[LINEBREAK]
[TAB]<media:rating .... </media:rating>[LINEBREAK]
[TAB] .... [LINEBREAK]
</media:content>

converting that to:

<media:content ... </media:content><media:rating ...
</media:rating></media:content>

basically removing all the line breaks and tabs BETWEEN each tag, but of course,
not altering the contents of the tags in any way.

i havent done this yet btw, wanting to get a heads up from you guys first.

i have already spoken to the folks at truveo, and they have told me as far as
their parser, it will not break things.

lemme know.

thanks!
