Videos containing copyright content
Last week, there was an update made at YouTube which somehow prevented videos identified to contain copyright content (such as images, music, sounds, etc…) from being used by the Empora player.

Updating video player in bulk
To cater for users who have hundreds of videos, editing each of them one at a time gets a little tedious (understatement). There is now a checkbox that allows you to update all videos with the same skin in bulk. This way all the videos that you have deployed all over your website will have …
