I hate to bring the issue up again but I would like to request an enhancement to the api. As I mentioned in another thread, I would love to see the /videos/list method expanded to allow more search/filter options specifically the ability to list all videos without any tags.
In lieu of that, would it be possible to set a default tag when a video is processed via ftp? We are batch uploading lots of videos and managing them is becoming more of an issue. We're up to 1400 now and have 3 times that ready to go.
Currently I'm running a script that walks all of our videos and tags those that don't have any tags so that I can process them within our systems. But I hate to have to run a script 24 hours a day and as we add more videos it becomes more of a waste of resources - ours and yours - as I have to iterate over every video.
Thanks for considering.

We have the item to filter by not-tagged videos on our list. We'll look into when this can be added to the dashboard. It's not scheduled yet though.
Adding a feature to include tags to videos uploaded over FTP makes much sense, and it's something many more customers will be interested in. Do you have ideas on how this could work? For example, I can imagine us supporting the upload of an XML file with the same name as the video, which can contain the title, description, tags, link, date and author of the video.
We could extend this feature to support an XML (e.g. in RSS format), which can contain the metadata of multiple videos instead of one. If the XML file is uploaded, the metadata is automatically added to the videos...
