YouTube Launches Unlimited Movie Services in UK to Compete with Netflix and Amazon

According to media reports, Google owned video-sharing website YouTube is scheduled to launch unlimited movie streaming service in the UK for the first country. The online movie service is similar to Netflix and Amazon and considered to compete with the two companies. Google has been in talks with Hollywood for months about the negotiation, and will launch the movie streaming first in Europe, especially the UK before spreading it to the US.


One Hollywood executive told the Post that Google has made a budget of 100 million US dollars for the plan. The money will pay movie studios and content providers for the contract to expand the service content on YouTube.


Robert Kyncl - vice president of TV and Entertainment at Google will lead the implementation of the plan. Kyncl was a Netflix exec. He joined Google in September last year. Analysts thought that Kyncl's joining Google shows the urgent need of talent for YouTube to achieve digital content deal with Hollywood.


Google has been exploring ways of turning YouTube into an Entertainment center, so that users can use the site to watch movies and TV shows, so the search giant has been working for several months to make film production companies engaged in the negotiation.


The world largest video site is now working on a payment system to provide fee subscription service to the users. We know that YouTube has always been a free site, making its income mainly from advertising. Citigroup estimates YouTube's gross revenue at $1 billion last year. Google issued no details of YouTube's financial performance, only revealed that the video site has doubled its revenue last year.

YouTube Supports Https Videos Embed

YouTube has already used HTTPS protocol to transfer sensitive account and video stream data between users' computers and web server. On February 9, YouTube API Blog reported that YouTube has enabled its HTTPS videos to be embedded on web page.

To try HTTPS YouTube video embeds, you just need to change the 'http' in the URL to 'https'. For example, change 'http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxx' to 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/xxx'. It works in both the new <iframe> embed code and old <object>+<embed> code.

When playing YouTube videos using HTTPS protocol on web page, only the YouTube video player is accessible, the actual video streams is encrypted for transferring between your computer and web server. But the other videos in a HTTPS embedded player are still streamed via HTTP protocol.

How to Use YouTube Search Options and Advanced Operators

YouTube is a very good website. It has a lot of advantages which are favorable. Its videos cover and contain almost everything. Creative videos enable users to get inspiration and enlightment. Additionally, it keeps the pornographic and spamming videos away, leaving only good things. So why don't we love YouTube?

Search results are sorted by different rules. Sorting rules are very handy if you just want to kill time or search for something fun on YouTube. These sorting options are:

• Relevance: search results are ordered by relevance to the text you input
• Upload date: videos are ordered by upload date, so that you are able to find the latest videos
• View count: this option helps you to find the most popular videos
• Rating: this option tells which videos are considered to be the best in users' eyes

The latter two options can certainly find out the most popular and interesting videos as those videos can always get highest rated and view counts.

However, problem may come along: when you sort by anything other than relevancy, the results are likely to be highly irrelevant.
Compare the two sorting options below:

It's difficult to find out the content you are searching for without the Relevance option.

Advanced search operators are needed at this time. These advanced operators are inherited from Google search and can also be used in YouTube search. They are really useful to help you filter the search results.

• Use double quotes to find the exact match content

A query with terms in double quotes finds content containing the exact quoted phrase. For example, ["Pulp fiction"] finds videos containing the phrase "Pulp fiction" exactly.

• Force YouTube to include a term by preceding the term with a "+" sign

If you don't want YouTube to miss a specific term in your query, you can use the '+' operator. Note that you should not put a space between the + and the word. In the same way, the '-' operator in front of a phrase can exclude a particular phrase from the search results.

• Use INTITLE: operator

Use INTITLE: operator to force specific phrase to appear in the video title.
