Fest21 relied since its start on VPOD.TV video platform. We are in the process of changing the video platform for a couple of reasons: - Our partner VPOD has changed its business model and no longer works as a B2C site - VPOD will no longer maintain its existing API 1.0 We are working hard to install the new platform, a very complicated process. There will most likely be a few bugs and problems during this migration process, we are sorry about that. Specificaly,the video upload fo...
Unfortunately, our video partner, Vpod, is experiencing some problems on their video display programs. It seems that for some combination of browser and Flash player the video is not displayed. For example on :
- IE 7 + flash 9
- Chrome + flash 10
- Some Safary version
They are actively working to solve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Everything is now back in order. We will double the memory size of the main servers in the coming days to ensure faster and easier web browsing.
Sorry for any inconvenience it might have caused you in the past 24 hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The new platform will be a needed first step to develop many additional services in the coming months... Stay tuned....
As we were reorganising our servers to have full redundancy of all services (web, images, database...), the main disk drive crashed. We replaced it and, as an additional problem, we realized that the latest daily backups contained errors and were unusable. We had to rely on the last weekly backup and restored it dated from February 7. At this stage, we lost one week of data. We are trying to recover data lost on the crashed drive but it is without guaranty at this stage. We are terribly sor...
We are experiencing video problems on the site due to our video platform partner. They migrated their servers to a new location and are experiencing severe difficulties. Sorry for the inconvenience, we hope to be back quickly.
