Common Issues

Usability– Thumbnails rarely Auto generate– Finding the ability to add the Thumbnail is difficult– Knowing What File Types and Codecs are Supported is Trial & Lots of

Error– Drag and Drop Times out Frequently and Often Hangs (but works

behind the scenes)– Sizes – Very difficult to determine if upload will fail or succeed.– Defaults aren’t friendly – Ratings off, Metadata needs to be turned on– UI is a challenge for external embedding – Browsers handle playback different– IE 10 may not detect HTML5 support and require Silverlight download
