Please note that the video player design is subject to change. If the video player test design is made available to you, we welcome you to test it and share your feedback. A survey will appear as a pop-up prompt.

Coming Soon
Project Finder is being worked on for better filters and an improved user experience! Expected launch date in December. More details to come soon!
The new inbox is also being worked on. Expected launch date in January. Previews coming soon!
If additional updates are available, they’ll be added to this post.
Lately I see an increase of PM’s send to me by the project finder and it’s annoying:
94% of those messages should not have been send to me but the language moderator.
3% wants to sub the review or a teaser only because everything else is done in that language they want to sub into.
2% forgots to mention the langauge they want to sub into or I have no clue which Kdrama they mean because the Kdrama title is translated in a random language I don’t know?!
1% is actually useful.
Needles to say: I ignore most of those PM’s send by the project finder as they are not for me but the language moderator. Also it would have been great if Viki removes trailers, teasers, previews etc. of finished Kdrama. I’m sick and tired of the endless discussion with people wether or not those teasers, trailers and previews still should be subbed while you can see it in the Kdrama when you actually watch it. I don’t want to bother my Ko-Eng subbers with them as they are already busy enough.
@bozoli I think it would be nice to have an option based on the number of missing subs for example, although that wouldn’t work for on-air titles and coming soon titles.
Also number of episodes, since they range from 4 to 100, so that counts.
It needs a thorough analysis of what we need and what can be done to come up with the best formula for it. I hope that’s what they’ve done.
@tweet998 You never get a PM from the finder because you are not a Channel Manager for any channel. If you are a CM of a channel and that is listed in the finder you get all the PM’s if people send a message they want to help out directly from the finder. Moderators don’t get them (but should if someone wants to help in their language).
Hello, before I forget it - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the Viki Staff Team!
A small question on the way - What about December 2019 update or will “we” just move to the next year?
In addition to climate change and the increasing streaming numbers leading to additional use of electricity I still would be happy if there was a “saving option”. I did watch videos in 360-480 quality before, since many people have asked before because their connection speed, devices or what ever the cause for their problems with watching high quality videos is … It would still be nice to have an option to choose. Climate change and streaming might not be the biggest portion there is but every little step could help. I know most people just want to have HD, 4K but rarely do they think about the “how” it all works.
I normally do not make any resolutions for the next year, but I will cut my number of streaming, since I can’t save energy at Viki in another way.
@lutra
I am not sure I understood your post correctly but if you are looking for a way to watch in less quality, I know the way. It’s in your Subscription and Settings in the drop-down menu that appears when you click on your profile pic.
And by the way… Since, thanks to you, I found this thread, I am still waiting for the promised new Project Finder. I was said that it will be launched in December so I am still patiently waiting!
@tweet998
Thanks - I will look into it, it was there in theory but not usable for me ( it has been a long time I looked into that option) if it is now that would be good.
Edit - Thanks for reminding me about this option, I really forgot about it, since it is not connected to the video player.
