Idea: All addons get a 15 second YouTube "advertisement"

[Digital Doctor]

A YouTube playlist would play the Addon YouTube videos one after another, almost as one long commercial.
Videos ideally would have audio.

Purpose:
- people could learn about what addons are available in an easier way.
- an indirect way of showing
- possibly a click here for more info option.

Investigate:
- can you sort a YouTube playlist based on popularity (Views) ?
- max size of a YouTube Playlist ?
- daisy chain playlists ?

Side benefits
- an indirect method of advertising Xenforo and it's possibilities.
- XenforoTV ?

More later ... late for work.

The devs are working on a better add-on viewing system, have you seen the screenshots? I think Youtube can be used to demonstrate add-ons, but I'm not convinced of your idea of a dedicated playlist.

Here's an example of how Addons should be introduced to the community.
GREAT STUFF Floris and XenFans.

Me neither.

I think add-on developers should be encouraged to include a video, it's true that they are a great way of showing what an add-on is all about.

I think the video is a good idea, it shows you a lot more about how a hack works. Thumbs-up from me!
