VeohTV is amazingly bothersome to use, as it has a multitude of awful little problems that bug the hell out of me.
First, it is not properly cross platform. Meaning that it will not run under Linux.
It is also quite ugly, doesn’t fit with any Operating System’s visual layout, and the menu system is an mess.
Then there is the fact that simply navigating the various sections is quite slow with significant lag. Of course this is partly the fault of the fact that content information for a section is download (whether it needs to be or not) after you click to navigate to that section and must finish before the content is displayed. This is a very bad way of organizing things.
One of the most annoying features of VeohTV is the fact that when you switch to any section other then interact, the currently playing video is automatically stopped. Then, upon switching back to interact, the video automatically starts playing from the beginning.
This really ticks me off when I am watching a long video streaming. Not only does it not pause and resume the video, but it gets rid of all the video I have downloaded and restarts the download from the beginning! This is an insane way to make a program!
Even if you have the video downloaded in you library it is a pain, as navigating a video is slow and choppy.
The only reasonably good feature of VeohTV is the search, which is quite comprehensive.
Altogether, VeohTV is counter intuitive, cumbersome, and very annoying to use.
And if Veoh wants to claim that it is still in beta and has not yet been finished, they shouldn’t force everyone who wants to watch longer videos to use it.
VeohTV – Argh!
