giant lists
We have now, by my count, 7 different pages listing clips from sesamestreet.org: Why are we duplicating so much? —Scott ( talk ) 23:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sandbox:Sesame Street Video Player: Classic Clips A - G
 * Sandbox:Sesame Street Video Player: Classic Clips H - M
 * Sandbox:Sesame Street Video Player: Classic Clips N - S
 * Sandbox:Sesame Street Video Player: Classic Clips T - Z
 * Sesame Street Video Player: Classic Clips
 * Sesame Street Video Player
 * Sesame Street Video Player: Current Clips


 * Well, four are sandbox pages used by Tony to help him compile the list and to keep track of things. Classic and Current make sense to me as divisions. Sesame Street Video Player's list is just outdated, and there was some discussion on that talk page of whether to keep updating it or abandon it or keep it for historical reasons, but that was it. I don't think Sandbox duplication is an issue, and they seem more useful as references and tests than some of the old pages, but we can probably stand to go through that category again in general. We can ask Tony if he still needs them wants them. As for the Video Player page, my vote would be to take out the inoperative list just link to the two more current, thorough, accurate, and browsable lists. Since the website itself maintains a classic/current clip division, and given how much is there, having those two pages makes sense (there's no duplication or overlap between them). -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 00:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Street story
We use the terms "Street story" and "Street scenes" to describe those scenes in an episode of Sesame Street that aren't skits, segments or sketches, but the story scenes that frame an episode. For future reference, it's notable to mention that Sesame Workshop is also referring to them as "street stories" as evidenced by the keyword for their first street story segent on their video player:  Just in case this wording ever comes into question. —Scott ( talk ) 17:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice, that's cool to know. -- Danny (talk ) 18:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Removed Segments
People have been saying that clips on sesamestreet.org likely won't be removed, but I noticed some clips that were added and apparantly removed. I don't know why, but yesterday I did a search for Kermit the Frog clips, and a few clips were added on the first page (for some reason the clips didn't have titled or descriptions, only pictures and educational subjects). I searched today and these clips seem to have been removed. The clips that were added then were Kermit obsering bears exercising, Kermit auditioning for the three little pigs and big bad wolf, and a Kermit and Joey sketch (I didn't click on that clip, but the subject was "thinking skills"). I just thought I'd park the info here. Hopefully what happened was a glitch and the clips will be added back to the site soon. --Minor muppetz 04:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I hope it's not because of Kermit "belonging" to Disney. I thought they worked all that out. -- Ken  (talk ) 04:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sesamestreet.org's search function is still quite bewildering. There have been videos I've looked for that I knew were there that I couldn't find, but could again later. It's more likely that the search parameters aren't consistent than they're taking videos down and putting them back up again. Here's "Kermit and Joey: Thinking Skills" and here's "Kermit auditioning Big Bad Wolf" . I can't find the "bears" film right now, but I'm sure it's there. Remember that this is still a beta. —Scott ( talk ) 04:54, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, here's the "bears" film —Scott ( talk ) 04:55, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that if Sesame Workshop took down Kermit clips because of character ownership that all Kermit clips would be taken down, no just the last few that were added. And on a similar note, I've seen "Me Lost Me Cookie" in a few playlists, but can't find it jus tby searching for it (for example, it doens't show up in a search for "disco", but is in the Disco playlist, and was in the main page playlist a few weeks ago). --Minor muppetz 05:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * These are all problems with the search function, as Scott said, and things worth passing on to Sesame Workshop (though they're feedback isn't the best), but yeah, nothing seems to have actually been removed. For things like Me Lost Me Cookie or anything else where the keywords don't actually bring it up (or without same), a good tip is to e-mail it to yourself (via the "Share with a friend" option), thus having access to the specific URL for the clip: -- Andrew Leal  (talk ) 08:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Another reason they were removed is because, other than the characters, there wasn't any text for those segments. (As of right now, the first video in the current clips section has the same problem, yet wasn't removed yet.)


 * Also, there are some video sites such as Truveo.com that links to videos on SW's site, so you can search for titles there, too. I've found links to "Me Lost Me Cookie In The Disco" and "Wet Paint Sign", but there doesn't seem to be a way to use the template to link these. Does anyone know how? -- MuppetDude 17:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I found the problem: each video has 36 symbols in their ID code, so after removing the last few symbols, I have: and . -- MuppetDude 18:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Excuse my spelling if I made a few mistakes, but Lately, 3 advertizing videos staring Grover and a S.S. Resercher (first name is Makeda, also mentioned in tags) have

appeared, then disappeared on Sesamestreet.org. One mentioned the new features, but before Makeda mentions them, Grover makes a suggestion: "Kitty cats sitting on the potty!" She tells him that there are no kitty cats sitting on the potty on the site. So Grover must delete the cat, but the cat says "That's OK; I'd like to have my privacy anyway.", then nods his head. --Bigbird96 23:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I was searching, and it appears that "See the Signs" has been removed from the site, due to recent controversies involving Chris Brown (since that segments been dropped from all future airings). --Minor muppetz 18:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
