Site Bugs

A very small site bug, but still: On the NES movies only page, the header says "TASVideos movies: only" when it should say "TASVideos movies: NES only" or perhaps "TASVideos movies: NES/FDS only".

This bug is still present. Here's a picture to show what I mean:

Again, it's a small bug that probably doesn't bother anyone, but on the other hand it should be very easy to fix.

Quite the opposite in fact. Must search and destroy.

I just noticed that on the all submissions page, if you try to list the submissions in any other way (i.e. click on any of the arrows) you just get redirected the front page instead of sorting the list accordingly. I have not been able to replicate this in a EDIT: It seems to work now whenever I try to list the submissions in any other way, so this might have been something I did wrong, and probably isn't anything to worry about.

not a bug, just a small suggestion for the polls: We currently have to click the radio button to vote. By the magic of <label>, you can extend the clickable area to the description as well. The template snippet that generates this:

<tr>
	<td><input type="radio" name="vote_id" value="3" />&nbsp;</td>
	<td><span class="gen">Meh</span></td>
</tr>

has to be changed to generate something like this:

<tr>
	<td><label><input type="radio" name="vote_id" value="3" />&nbsp;<span class="gen">Meh</span></label></td>
</tr>

Thanks, I'll try that out sometime soon. Also, a forum thread seems to be a bad way of reporting bugs and even worse for new feature ideas. We have the TODO wiki page, but perhaps we need a better system than either of these, somehow.

I've thought that a tracker system of some sort would be desirable if the number of TODOs is as significant as it seems to be (a lot of them aren't anywhere on the site). This would help with bug reporting as well.

Some players are duplicated here: http://tasvideos.org/Players-List.html There are at least maTO, xipo and mike89 who are listed twice.

I take full blame for duplicating maTO (This was very early in my publishing carrier) and I've cleared it up with adelikat, it turns out someone already merged the dupes... except for removing the dupe itself. Can't say I know anything about xipo and mike89, however.

It happens to me sometimes, and not only on the all submissions page, but also on the "normal" submissions page.

In the past week or so, we have put up an entirely new Subs-List page. Does this bug still occur?

Actually, I hadn't check if the problem was still there before posting, sorry. With the new Subs-List page, this issue doesn't seem to occur anymore, but as it was very random with the old Subs-List, I couldn't tell for sure. One little thing, though : sorting any column reloads the page, and it's not very convenient on the "Movie rating list", because after reloading the selected tab becomes "Summary".

It seems that the frame count field isn't working properly in some submissions. My Kid Icarus TAS has the frame count 66878 in the frame count field, while the movie file in reality has the frame count 80375.

That's very much off, I wonder why. No formula should come out to that. Can you find any other example of it being off? Maybe there is a fluke with that one.

After looking around some (I just looked at around 20 other random submissions), that one seems to be the only published movie that has this bug.

Out of curiosity, how many (UE) submissions are there? I'm guessing that it calculated the time using NTSC from the frame count in the movie file (60.1 frames/sec), but then recalculated the frames from the time using PAL (50 frames/sec). But this is a guess. Is the site code calculating frames using time, in spite of the fact there's a frame count extracted from the movie itself?

I've repaired the frame count. For the record, the frame counts for movies submitted prior to the introduction of the frame count field was reverse-calculated from the length of the movie; apparently I didn't get the special cases for NTSC/PAL 100% correct. Keep your eyes open for any other mistakes.
