Oops, okay, I get what wmode is.
But did you do all this with custom flash programming? Or is there something that can display thumbnails like this?

this is the best looking RT site ive seen in a while
i nominate it for site of the month (or i would if it existed
)
anywho
1 thing from me
the images at the bottom of the first page
seem off.
by this i mean they seem streaky (there may be a better or technical word) but it seems as though the images are streaky - as in your gradients just seem like bars of colour
btw im using FF2
great site - and well worth the look

Both of us Cameron
; I'm testing a paid extension for Flash. For the moment it's only a test because I want to improve the flow. I want to use an external xml to load the images but I have some problems with path. I hope to solve that very soon.

Hey Craig! Many thanks for that but I think this site would not be competitive for SOTM; all the sites choosed had templates more customized...
1 thing from me the images at the bottom of the first page seem off.
I attached a screenshot. Are you talking about the ads banner with shoes? At my work, I can see correctly that image with some computers, with other computers the images is not displayed (all computers with FF) and I don't know why. Have you a direct access to internet?

What is "streaky"? My english is not good
The bad gradient on the images at the bottom is due to the image format. I'm using actually .gif; in a first time, I used png after that jpg. The loading time for main page was very very slow. Then I used gif at the bottom and I optimized all other images. However, I'm using now the JRE cache component and I will be able to replace all these images at the bottom with png or jpg. Thanks to remind me to do that
Someone can test the site with IE6 and Safari/FF for Mac please? (the site looks terrible with Safari/PC
)
Thanks guys!

by streaky i was refering to the gradient
that was my only issue
and its not about the customisation for SOTM
its about implementation
i think...

Thanks Craig!

Hello Franck!,
i only have question for You
How did You get the whole idea of making such a portal. I can see that You've been digging in joomla, css and rockettheme for quite a long time and the effects are great. But the idea?! Great!Bingo! And You managed to do a fantastc site
. But how did You get the channels, steams etc? Just searched the net? I don't think so ];>.
Btw, You used only fireworks for graphics(great anyway)? - Web designing in memory of Alex - beloved parrot friend - now gone ;(

Thanks Jakeeb! for your kind words.
The idea for a such portal is very old! But I didn't have time to build a TV portal. Few months ago, a client contacted me to make a TV portal for him and I decided to build the free TV portal in association with him. Actually, I'm alone because he pulled off the project (I think). However I will finish the version 1.0 of TVsPlanet because I love this website!
During a long time, I did a loooong list of TV channels and I have more than 1000. TVsPlanet have actually 700 online TV and I work everyday to add more TV, more countries...
For the graphics I use only Fireworks. Since I'm a member of RT, I learned a fex Fireworks but I need some effects for images and I don't know how to do it with Fireworks! I need to learn more Moreover I purchased some icons or used free icons.
At this time, TVsPlanet is made with joomla and I will finish this first version with joomla 1.0.12 or 1.0.13. However, I don't know if the version 2.0 will be with joomla! or not. I'm seriously thinking to use Drupal in the future particulary for this big project. The reason are: I'm tied to upgrade continuously my sites for new versions! Actually I can't upgrade to 1.0.13 or 1.5 because the incompatibility with a lot of components I'm using. Then Drupal maybe the solution for a better stability and flexibility for the next version of the site. I'm starting to learn Drupal management and programation for theme and modules...
I have other projects similars to TVsPlanet. For sure I will make the next with Drupal just for testing and see the result.
Thx!

Hi again, Franck!
I only want to add that when i look on your portal, and then on the project(on paper) of mine, i feel that it is possible to build a popular portal without owning a huge web corporation
The thing is that TV Portal has almost no rivals in web (poor design, quality and content). I think i also need to find some original idea like that broadcasting!
Don't be suprised,if i once PM u to ask for some help in creating some big famous portal, that will become a rival for Google <lol> ;D

Hi Heather!
Thanks for your comment! Yes, the site is more advanced now but I have a lot of work to do before reach 1000 TV. Moreover, I'm trying now to optimize the site for Search Engine and it's a very hard work
