Internet Music 'TV' built with Node.js (cull.tv)

Thanks for the post! To clarify, we built the entire stack with node.js including our crawling framework and real-time recommender. Blog post will be up on http://blog.cull.tv/ in a day or two covering the libraries we've open sourced so far.


Can you say in short how you choose videos?

Looks very cool!


Better than MTV. Can you upvote/downvote playlist items (so it becomes a HN for music), and have a hover somewhere to show track name, artist and artist website link (maybe with a referrer link so you earn money when someone buys from that artist)?


I get a blank, black page, which seems to have some sort of Flash blocked by my FlashBlock, that I can't activate because it's covered by HTML overlays or something. Not nice experience.


I got a black page too. I had to disable AdBlock for it to work.


Incredibly well done guys, bravo.

So hard to make it so simple.


Very nice.

It should have a radio mode, where it stops downloading video, and continues playing music, when it is not on the screen. On computers a lot of video won't ever be watched, but the 'channels' seem like nice radio stations/playlists to be listened to in the background.


Very cool! If I could get this play as a channel on my Roku I'd be in heaven!


Maybe allowing to link from some music profile site like Last.Fm, spotify, etc ( like http://lasttv.net/ do) would be nice.


very good interface. Nice to see a larry levan paradise garage channel in there. What about copyright though?


HOOOOOOOLLLLYYY sh!!!!!tttt, I was designing the exact same thing right now. OMG, I can not believe ..I'm serious someone is watching my screen...


reminds me of http://youtify.com/


Nicely done!
