Template ID's are supposed to be deprecated according to the template documentation (such as on this page http://developer.longtailvideo.com/botr/system-api/methods/accounts/templates/list.html) but they are still the only way to access a specific transcoding when directly requesting a video with a Video URL (http://developer.longtailvideo.com/botr/system-api/urls/videos.html).
Would be nice to see the use of template ID's deprecated, and allow template keys to work on these urls as well, so that we don't have to keep track of both ID's and keys.
Thanks,

Ah, good point. We had that one on the list for our re-uploads release a few months ago, but somehow overlooked it.
We'll implement support for /videos/VIDEOKEY-TEMPLATEKEY.ext as well as for /feeds/PLAYLISTKEY-TEMPLATEKEY.ext with our next contentserver release.
