Want to beta test iDesktop.tv Version 2?

The iDesktop.tv team have been very busy working hard on a new version of iDesktop.tv which is near beta.

Have you ever wanted to create a custom player and playlist of YouTube videos with a few clicks?

Have you ever found YouTube’s custom players limited?

Have you ever wanted to create different player types such as pop-out players and video walls?

Have you found using the embed player does not match the design and style of your website?

Have you ever wanted to brand your own player with your own logo, colour and skins?

Have you ever wanted to put your own advertisements between videos?

Well iDesktop.tv has gone all out to produce fully customisable players that will suit non-commercial and commercial needs.

Custom players can now be produced taking videos from YouTube’s users, channels, results of a search, featured videos, top rated, your favourites, your playlists and much more. With over 15 players and playlist types, users can now produce those custom players they have always craved for their websites. Extensive custom options are available to produce the unique player that suits you. We have also added fully customisable advertising allowing users to place certain videos at the start, between or at the end of videos in the playlist.

New features to the idesktop.tv website include :

• Custom embedded players for playlists
• User Interface
• Video player re-design
• MP3 downloads
• More Stable and faster website
