NicoNico Complex: NicoNico Douga Unlocked

We have received full embed permission from NicoNico Douga, which I believe is a first for an English language anime site, and quite possibly for a solely English language site too.
This took a fair bit of organisation, and a meeting at the Dwango (Nico) offices, so it is not hard to see why it is uncommon even amongst Japanese sites…
With this you can freely view videos from Nico embedded on our pages without an account or otherwise, and also you can freely post videos in the forums. Additional features are also planned.
Remarks & Explanation:
The interface to the external player should be simple enough – the “chick” icon in the bottom right corner will turn off the scrolling comments; in some videos they are highly recommended for visual effect, in others they are a distraction. Playing the video in question is accomplished using the triangular “play” icon, oddly.
If you click elsewhere in the window, you will be taken to the main Nico page for the video.
Commenting and other such functions are only possible whilst logged in, and from the Nico site itself – just click the window as usual to go to the relevant page.
You can also freely post videos from NicoNico Douga on the forums; see here for details.
If you have problems playing a video, please check below in the comments: you may need to disable certain anti-virus software’s referrer blocking features, and allow scripting for Nico (and here).
Please do not ask anyone involved with Sankaku Complex in an official capacity how to download videos from Nico. We will have no choice but to ignore any such questions.
The videos will be affected by the dreaded economy mode as usual; typically this runs from 1900-0200 JST (GMT +9), and depending on the video (especially popular ones) may result in dramatically reduced visual quality.
You can get round this by buying a NicoNico Douga premium membership (500JPY a month) – this will ensure full quality at all times both on Sankaku Complex and on Nico.
Expect further developments on the chart front when they are ready…
Gratuitous Nico videos are now provided by way of an exciting test; these are the all-time top 5 videos on Nico (in terms of playbacks, strange as they are):
1. 5,755,508
2. 5,327,052
3. 5,131,177
4. 4,841,635
5. 4,186,410
Let us choose to believe it is because they are old that they dominate so…

おめでとうございます！ お祝い (^ω^)
As Borat would say, "GREAT SUCCESS!"
yay nico for all, somewhat.
Awesome, I love this site even more :p
Problems with Opera? I get a white screen only.
Sure you have the latest Flash and scripting on? Opera is supported by their player as far as I can see, so the problem looks to be on your end...
I just upgradet from 9.60 to 9.63 and reinstalled flash player 10 -- very unfunny. I will have to search for a solution.
I'm using Opera 9.63 and it works for me.
Same here, Opera 9.63 and working.
Same here, Opera 9.63. Works perfectly.
Check so that you haven't disabled anything in Opera, or have some strange program set to play .swf files.
The only problem I can see against this, is that if the video gets taken off Nico, you won't be able to watch it. Whereas in the previous video posts, there is a copy of the removed video on here.
Just to name a view, like the Clammad Fantasy and Minorin Fantasy videos have been removed, and a certain riding video.
I suppose I'll just have to download the videos of Nico while I can before they get taken down for some odd reason..
If this is the case we will take the liberty of mirroring it, so you needn't worry.
Did I mention that I love you?
You're the best!
Thank you so much.
This site is great!
Someone just got slightly more Internet-important! Cheers!
wow congrats. So all it takes is posting the link? Never noticed any embed code on the video pages.
They only do embeds with sites they have approved and signed a contract with.
well la-dee-da!
Man, did this cost anything?
That's one small step for NicoNico, one giant leap for Sankaku Complex
Surely you mean the converse.
okay, now i like sankacom even more. thanks to artefact. hopefully someday you can make nico2 english version (since they already have taiwan, spain, and german)
Oh man, that scrolling text is getting on my nerves.
Then turn it off.
Just click the chicken (?) image on bottom right corner
yay!! now I can watch Nico vids :D
This is just epic wrin.
This is pretty cool that you got permission for such a thing. I suppose that is why (beyond the need for logging in to see the videos anyway) I never saw embeds for niconico stuff, hehe. Keep up the good times!
YES
Very awesome!
NicoNico seems to be reaching out lately... with the recent Microsoft Messenger shenanigans...
http://xspblog.com/2009/01/14/hatsune-miku-microsoft-messenger-x-nico-nico-douga/
Which is awesome! I'd like to be able to embed NicoNico videos on my blog too, but first I need to get out of WordPress.com...
They don't deal with individuals at all; I think this is what keeps most of the sites out. I doubt they accept "overseas" concerns, but I don't know about this. Some of the big Japanese blog hosts offer it though, so those are an option.
Well that's just fantastic guys. Really.
wierd videos, is the scrolling text similar to annotations in youtube or something like that?
Also congratz now everyone can enjoy animated dance routines!
Well the scrolling text is live comments from nico users. To illustrate this i have put the comment "Sankakucomplex!" at 0.00. you need an account at NicoNico Douga to be able to post comments as Artefact said
The scrolling text are actual comments to the video, and superior to Youtube's annotations.
As I forgot to put in my last reply I have put it on the "Lets go Omyouji" video, thats the dancing priests.
Also, the comments have an entire scripting language built in (needs a premium account), which is how all the extreme ASCII art is created.
Conspiracy! Conspiracy I tell you! Why all of the suddenly did they decide to this. Did sankaku send a letter of request so they can broadcast nicovideo? I think it must be a couple posts [the conspiring plot ones and the haruhi-chan one]struck a nerve on niconico. Conspiracy!
But Amen for niconico. I'm happy for them for taking a more aggressive approach.
I still don't get this rule on :
"1. Please do not post any videos from Nico alongside (in the same thread as) ero or guro content. This violates the terms of our agreement, so we will have to remove any such errant videos."
The front page on sankaku already contain some ero content what do they mean? Doesn't that mean the 1st rule is already violated?
What? Of course we had to approach them and sign a contract.
The front page doesn't contain any "ero" content, just risque or suggestive content. You will not see any Nico videos residing in the same posts as highly erotic content. This has all been discussed and cleared, so it's nothing you need worry about.
But did they made 1st move? What do you mean "had"?
For him to use embedded Nico videos on this blog he had to sign a contract with Nicovideo to allow him to do so. I assume that would've required him to meet with a Nico rep to get it all panned out.
Yes, we had to have a meeting where everything was discussed and so forth.
ok, finally fixed the darn thing. What you have to do is go to status and settings under the norton internet security menu panel. You have to totally disable the privacy control option or else it will block all data from being sent out, even if you have it on the lowest setting.
TL;DR- Turn off the privacy control and bam, it works
bravo!
im sure other big anime sites will be sure to follow.
well, those with connections in japan.
Don't hold your breath.
Now I have the Princess Bride song stuck in my head. Thanks guys.
This is awesome!
Is there a way to make the video full screen? I don't see a button for it.
Their player doesn't support this.
Gyabo!
