The Ovi Share site has been totally redesigned. It has also released a hotfix which re-enables existing slideshows embedded in web sites. Older photos have been reconverted to new quality and sizes, and rotation issues are resolved. In addition, the upload mulfiple files dialog problem in Firefox has been fixed.
The Fishbowl
Media glides by straight from your activity feed on the home page. Embed this into your own web site to share your experience.
What’s New?
- Better Sharing – You can now share photos and videos individually without having to create an album first. Plus, comments on an item show to all viewers.
- Higher Quality Images – A new photo transcoding platform produces higher quality images. The larger size on the media page shows more detail.
Improved Media Page – The media page has more room for your photos and videos–see with whom they are shared, the comments and the capture time and place.
- Album Page – Channels have been renamed to Albums and the most recently used albums display on the home page for quick access.
- Easier Experience – Tasks such as sharing, commenting and organizing are now easier to find and use with simpler menus and in-place actions.
Quality Upgrade for Existing Photos
Because of the large number of photos stored in Ovi, it may take a few days to upgrade all media to the new quality and sizes. In this time you will see some issues with the rotation, location data, and others.
Other Features
As part of this transformation, they have disabled some features.
Also, Ovi Share now only allows uploading image and video file types. With support for over 100 file types it works with the most popular media formats used for capturing and sharing your life.
To upload other file types you can now use the Ovi Files service.
