ReliaVideo is currently getting a huge overhaul with presentation. Please wait till I'm not lazy for me to be done with it.

December 18, 2010

As part of the Crescent changes, the entire look of Relia is getting a long, overdue overhaul in presentation. This includes updating the old Series 1 videos to the Series 2 standards and updating any rogue coding. As well, the page layout you see here is the base layout for the entire site. However, we still intend on decorating all of our video pages with content related to the video presented.

So don't worry; the monotony stops somewhere.

November 15, 2010

Ever since we release ReliaVideo.net, the use of the newly built website was nearly 0 from regular people that were not spambots. Since this is clearly a waste of space, time, and money, I decided to scrap the domain and return the content back here to video.zopney.com.

For starters, since this is a shared host along with zopney.com and PinkChan.org, I have gotten rid of some videos that I found unnecessary for me to continue watching. This includes:

Clannad
Desert Punk
Ed, Edd, n Eddy
Excel Saga
Life After People
Last Exile
Megas XLR
Soul Eater
Toradora!
Valkyria Chronicles

However, we have new content on the way. Including:

5 Centimeteres per Second
Black Rock Shooter
Claymore
FLCL
Hellsing Ultimate
On Your Mark
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt
Princess Mononoke
She and Her Cat
The Cat Returns
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Let's get to it.

ReliaVideo has been having some problems with the TOS. However, we're hoping that what we have done to prevent anymore issues work as such. Please remember that if it comes to that we need to begin using whitelisting, we shall.

We are an elitist resource. Please do not abuse it.

April 26, 2010

ReliaVideo provides content in the shape of videos, which appeals to the sense of sight. So to help compliment the various videos, we decided to begin decorating the entire site with different backgrounds and themes.

The process already started way back when specific shows where being decorated with colors, images, and music. So this addition should seem familiar, and pleasing. We hope you enjoy what we have here to offer.

If you have images that you wish to donate to us, or if you want to decorate your own page for one of our shows, please contact zopney.

March 10, 2010

ReliaVideo has transferred over from the zopney.com domain to here, where we get more space and a better deal than that host for zopney.com. It will take some time for the transferring to be complete especially with a brand new host to work with. However, we are glad that we have switched over and will enjoy taking the time of moving to a better place. Conversion process is still going at the moment and will take awhile for completion. During this time, some videos will be blocked off and denied access, please wait till we have finished before you can enjoy the site completely.

If you wish to enjoy the site as it was before, you can go back to zopney.com subdomain (http://video.zopney.com/) and watch the videos from there. However, if a video has made a successful transfer, it will be eliminated from the old subdomain.

In other related news, the Discussion board has been removed for lack of use. A ticket system has been created to have visitors report broken or incorrect videos. More information on this ticket system will be released once it has been customized. Finally, the about page has been updated.

MKV Series 1 has been released into DivX Series 2, because the DivX Web Player can now play .mkv files. Please update your DivX Web Player to watch the new videos that will soon be uploaded onto Relia.

This is a truly a monumental day, considering we have had many videos come to Relia in the format of MKV. Since converting this format into other extensions is impossible, we had to wait until either we developed a solution or if another company had, and thankfully, it wasn't us. Please note that there will be no MKV Series and .mkv files will be played on DivX Web Players as if they were DivX files, just with a different menu. Uploading and coding will be the same and the difference will eventually blur.

With this news, Relia is not at its second supported extension; increasing functionality and overall performance. A special thanks to DarkRage for pointing this out to us.

November 19, 2009

For Series 2, there will now be a giant image titled WATCH SERIES to allow a quick, one-click access to the video. This will avoid the unnecessary text needed for linking the videos; a practice that was effective for Series 1, but not Series 2.

It's a subtle addition, but it works, and that's the important part.

September 16, 2009

DivX Series 2 is now live! Thanks to all that helped participate in feedback for this new interface! This new format will only pertain to new releases while all old videos will stay in the Series 1 format. Any single episode series in the future will be a combination of Series 1 and 2 by removing the drop-down menu from the page.

If you have an questions or concerns, please use Rf.

September 10, 2009

Relia has some new additions to the overall structure of the site. To begin with, Relia now has her own personal forums called ReliaForums or Rf. Due to the freezing of Kinota, Relia was in need for a new discussion board. Using Vanilla technology, this simple forum will allow quick discussions without ruining the experience. Anonymous posting is available where allowed, but registering is still preferred. You can visit the new forum here.

Next, a new format for the DivX videos from Development is currently being tested with Soul Eater. Please watch the anime with the new format and provide feedback on the new forums. We're hoping that this format will allow easier viewing for our users as they browse between each video.

A new background contest is now active. The current wallpaper for Relia is set to fit correctly with a person's resolution of 1024x720. However, we want to change this. Relia is looking for an overall wallpaper of 1200x800 to replace this current wallpaper. We are looking for a white wallpaper with any sort of non-porn related (take that to Zarina) pictures and with a decorated Relia name in the center. Submit your submissions in Rf.

Finally, Relia is running out of space. The current space is being shared by other Projects from Project Z Project, therefore, we will need to purchase a new server for Relia. The current goal is $120 which will allow Relia to stay open for 1 year. Every time a donation of $120 has been made, Relia will be able to stay open for another year. zopney.com is already funding Relia to stay up, so any new upgrades will have to be strictly user-based and from user donations.

So if you can find 32 cents of change in the couch every day for an entire year, you have now just helped Relia.

August 24, 2009

Relia is being put on hold in response to this. No new content will be added in, however, you can enjoy what is currently being offered. If you would like to see changes, please contact Niraz with a video series already converted into DivX format waiting to be uploaded.

July 28, 2009

Relia is now officially going through a developmental stage. We begin with working with the current interface and have tested out some new aspects. Upon completition, we hope that a new look and interface for Relia will result in an improved design and performance. Please consider that most of the Z Project features are dark with little color. Relia is one of the few Projects to feature white and a multitude of bright colors. We intend on keeping this theme in the future.

First, each individual anime will have its own theme based off the theme of the anime. A dark anime results in a dark theme, whereas a light anime results in a light theme. This can provide an interesting atmosphere for our users and allow us to present a good media and presentation for any future visitors.

Next, the DivX aspect, Series 2, is currently under works. A way to view all the episodes underneath one page without relocating is the main goal of Series 2. This will allow efficient viewing and better navigation for the viewer. There are currently two Developmentals and feedback is currently being filtered through to determine the best interface. Despite this new update, we will still be offering the Series 1 pages; whether we offer it only to the current anime listed or include it along with any future Series 2 videos has not been determined.

One huge update is the removal of the Reviewers. Relia has been active to March and only one incompetent has applied (and was later fired). We have come to the conclusion that the Reviewers is an unnecessary aspect and will be removed accordingly. The Reviewers page will be replaced with the Awards, an archive for any awards that Relia gives to her anime, including a list of all the awards with explanation of the awards, all the current award holders, and any previous award holders. Expect this page to be up by next month.

A database is currently possible for Relia. With this database using MySQL, we can successfully upload and update videos quicker and faster than ever. However, unfamiliar coding is our problem and will have to be self-taught before we can see this process begin. This WIP will be in progress for awhile.

Finally, the popular videos tab underneath these news will be removed. It hasn't been used since the start and will be removed to clear clutter. The process of successfully handling the most popular videos is tedious and inefficient, therefore, we will remove it.

As well, you can view any new developments in the unlisted Test Facility, where any new coding and interface changes will be reviewed and tested. It is also an archive for any previous interfaces that we used in the past, so think of it as a place for the past and the future.

July 26, 2009

Relia is looking into bettering our video experience for our viewers. We are recently looking into an SDK sample from DivX Labs in creating a fully customizable DivX showcase. We will be using the samples given to determine what and how far we can make the technology our personal own.

We ask that you review the samples given and suggest to us what you would like to see out of the new technology. If that we cannot find any satisfactory improvements or that the current theme is perfect, we will dump the samples and continue with the current tradition.

You can view the samples here.

Relia is about to be hit with some brand new additions and videos from the depths of hell. Now all that is stopping us from allowing our viewers to view these new movies is coding and converting. Since these two take up the greatest majority of the work and time spent into Relia, you can expect updates over the span of one month. However, nearly every week, a new video should be implemented and coded correctly for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to our skilled content uploaders, the following will be available by next month.

As well, one major update is a change in a project habit. Relia and its employees have always provided you with a release of a brand new video in order of episode number. However, since we must break that habit to keep the content flowing and the video releases at maximum capacity.

Remember, we are always looking for new employees. Check it out and see if you qualify for any of the position.

Relia is in desperate need of help. The Application and Project is slowly dying, because of this being the most work and resource extensive Project. We are in desperate need of content uploaders, a Relia, and fellow Lens. If the Project continues at this stagnant pace, zopney may be forced to shutdown the Project temporarily.

However, you can help! Look at available jobs listed and determine what job would seem the most pleasureable to you. We need help on all fields, but the most needed job is a Relia, the most powerful job available. Once you have a job chosen, please contact zopney through his Secretary (err...that's nobody at this moment).

For nearly a week, I've been attempting to force function the use of the AVI and MKV formats to work correctly with the website. However, I have been introduced with difficulty that is very much a do not want. Therefore, for any new video that is not in DivX format, I will have to download the videos and convert them into the correct format before finally presenting them out to the public. This can cause issues since my DivX convertor is a resource whore and has a tendency to corrupt itself at times. This is an inconvience, but we must bear with it till the other formats work correctly without breaking a web browser. Contact me if you can assist me with that.

In other news, a new promotional video has been released for Soolaby to stimulate her importance in the Z Project. A recent interview with her revealed that she "[is] very happy and excited that [she is] an important function for the Z Project. As the Project progresses, so will [her] helpful nature stimulate progress for the Project." Very bold words indeed. Soolaby's major rivals is Kinota and Relia. However, Kinota is very inactive due to zopney's A.W.L. and Relia's relatively new introduction into the Project. Only time will tell who will be the most popular Project.

March 4, 2009

Recently, we've finally acquired the subdomain for http://video.zopney.com. However, this has caused issues related with the links for some of the pages within Relia. Currently, this is being handled as we speak and the links should be fully fixed within the next 7 days. If you do come across a 404 link, please contact zopney.

In related news, the first movie for Kino's Journey has been successfully uploaded and implemented. The full season for the anime will soon be up. All of the videos are in DivX format, so make sure you have the codecs beforehand. Upcoming videos include Last Exile and the remainder of Dai Mahou Touge.

Relia is looking for reviewers for any of the animes currently given. This will include a limited FTP account to Relia and will allow the reviewers to add, change, and upload anything they will need. To apply, you must be somewhat skilled in HTML and have the ability to write an intelligent review (and you are allowed to be biased). If you do apply, the base format for Relia will be given, but nearly full permission for you to change the format will be allowed. Please contact zopney for more information.

The News Archive page has been added along with the Info page. You may now check these links if you wish.

March 2, 2009

The entire series of Busou Renkin has been released in DivX format. Any other formats will slowly be added including a link to the package containing the DivX format .rar file. Please note that Busou Renkin still needs a description and review page.

In other news, Relia is now officially out of Alpha and Beta and has moved into Omega (the stage where content starts flowing in). Please note that reviews, news, and info are still in the works. These pages will be released ASAP once I find some reviewers.

Prodigy has assisted greatly by releasing the Claymore series in AVI format, and I would like to sincerly thank him for his uploads. The AVI format will first be uploaded and then later converted into DivX format, when needed. If you would like to assist like Prodigy has, please contant me beforehand.
