If possible and if it would be considered, I would appreciate an option on the Edit Video page for an old/unrestored upload to be able to re-upload the video.

  • As videos are tied to the link and the link has been shared on Poal and elsewhere, visitors to that link find a dead video.
  • One could re-upload a video as a new upload, but that would not link the new upload to the old video/replace it.
  • If creating a new upload, it would have a new link and that link to the new upload would need to be manually added to the video description of the old, dead video to point visitors to the new upload.
  • This also causes duplicates of videos and bloats Vid8 search results where the new upload works and the old one is dead.

To avoid these issues, being able to just re-upload the video to the existing page for old videos that could not be restored would allow for that video page to become active again. It would allow for any links to the dead video that had potentially been shared on Poal and elsewhere to no longer point to the dead video as the video on the page would be restored.

I haven't yet looked at what videos would be better updated manually by you from an upload to kikebox versus re-uploaded vid8 as a new video and then delete the old one.

If you give me a list (json/xml dictionary) of the original video links and their new mirrors, I can automatize the restoration.
