|
|
One MIDI I uploaded quite some time ago now, "(Theme From) New York, New York" as sung by Frank Sintara, has a video on its page entitled:
"Terrorist Thugs, Muslim, New York Subway - Muslim Saves Jews Video".
Now, if one watches the video itself, it's a nice story, but the title doesn't leave a great first impression with those who visit. I'm sure that the feature has left other users with even less-desirable results. I see that the page for my MIDI has already drawn the comment "You must be joking????" from one user.
Perhaps users can choose a video to go with files they upload, or the feature can be adjusted or temporarily removed? I can think of many song titles that would cause very strange results with the context-sensitive videos. |

Ya, sorry about the automatic video search result. Usually it does not return "extreme" video but it happens sometimes.
First, it searches only in the Music Category for the song title + artist name. If nothing came up, it will search in all the categories with the song title + artist name. If nothing came up, it will search just the song name. Perhaps you can show me which MIDI has the really bad results, so I can tweak the search better. |
