Feature release: Introducing continuous play

It's time, once again, for another update to Current.com. This time around we're introducing a brand new interaction when watching video on the site. Whenever you finish watching video in the Current player, continuous play will be triggered. This will queue up a new video for you to check out.

Whenever continuous play is activated, a bar with a 5 second countdown timer will appear at the top of the page alerting you to the next video in the queue. When the bar appears you have the option to stop continuous play in several ways:

Don't Play

Clicking on "Don't Play" will stop the continuous play feature from taking you to the next video.

Comment

If you're in the middle of typing a comment continuous play will automatically disable so you can finish commenting on the video you just watched.

As always, we'd love to hear what you think of this new feature. Please send us feedback over on Get Satisfaction.

    • hmmm, I'd say this be useful in groups where there was a continuum of videos, but this is sorta annoying as it seems to very randomly move me from the page I was just on. I feel like more than once today it moved me before I could even get a chance to read other people's comments, let alone leave one of my own. I just want to have a big button that i can turn off and on whether or not I was at a video.

    • I would appreciate it if a video only played when I hit play. Often I will have multiple windows open, and all of a sudden some video will start all on its own. This is not cool, and a pain in the ass.

    • NICE. Now I don't have to get up during the middle of the night to queue up my next dosage of brainwashing.Instead continuous play will keep pouring it on for me...Thanks Current!
