What happened to sub-genres and quality ratings?

We use 3rd parties to help find videos and video information on the internet. Recently one of our main providers went out of business, and we’ve had to remove advanced video info like sub-genres and quality ratings as a result. We recognize how useful this information is and are looking for alternative sources so we can provide these tools again.

Fact or Fiction? Common Questions Get Answered

Q. If I delete my downloaded files, can I get that bandwidth back?

A. No. Bandwidth is consumed with the act of streaming or downloading a video, and has nothing to do with the storage of the files. Once you’ve downloaded a video, the bandwidth consumed is gone, no matter where the file goes afterward.

Q. Why are there so many versions of Graboid?

A. Every time we make a series of improvements to Graboid – from bug fixes to new features – we release a new version. So, each version is fundamentally the same, but every new release will be better than the last. To make sure you’re always getting the best service possible, it’s good practice to update to the latest version of Graboid.

Check Before You Delete

Occasionally a video might not work when you try to play it – don’t delete it! Post your problem on the Forum and a User Moderator can help you get your file to play. A little bit of troubleshooting can save you a lot of bandwidth on those ‘broken’ videos you used to just delete.

We get a lot of questions about Graboid and we love to address most of them.
Some we just can’t answer – have to protect our ‘secret sauce’ after all.

Each month we’ll choose a member question to feature and answer here. Is there something you’ve always wanted to know?

Thank you to all who helped us celebrate Graboid’s birthday, and congratulations to our winners!

Three years ago Graboid was born when two guys believed in an idea enough to quit their day jobs and see it through. Today, it’s better than either of them had even imagined.
