I was not able to sign up for my own channel either. But, I read about what the
channel is and I am impressed at the possibilities available to you through it. 
I
have never seen an application that allows someone to create their space where 
any
media under their interest could be streamed to one page.

I tried to create a channel but it said access was denied bc I wasn't logged in 
but
that was strange because on the previous home screen it said at the top of the 
page
that I was "signed in as Kat32"

The create a channel link did not work for me. Clicking the link redirected me 
and I
was told I was not authorized to create a new channel.

Creating a channel. This was the same problem as posting the comment. I'm 
already
logged in, and the page says that I'm not authorized. When I would put in my
information, I would get the same result from the commenting process.

When I log in, go to my Dashboard and click the first link (Create an Ourmedia
Channel), it says: You are not authorized to view this page.

• Added labels: channel

When I clicked the tab "CHANNELS" I was logged out and when I tried to log in 
again
both from the video page and from the tab on the upper right corner of the 
page, it
wouldn't recognize my username or my password. I tried "Have you forgotten your
password" option. It still didn't recognize evelynd or evelynd@sfsu.edu as a 
username
or e-mail address. 

When I clicked back to HOME, it says "signed in as evelynd". It seemed like this
logged-out-automatically thing only happened when in "CHANNELS" section.

I tried to work around it by going to DASHBOARD (where i am magically signed in
again) and trying to "Create A Channel" from there. It logged me out again. 
When I
tried to Register a second account from CHANNELS (under the assumption that 
CHANNELS
and HOME/DASHBOARD required different account), it logged me back to evelynd 
with a
message: "You are not authorized to access this page".

I tried another way, which was registering from the video page itself. I got 
this:

Ergo, no commenting happened. Initially, though, I think it's pretty easy to 
find the
leave-comment option, provided you're a regular netizen.

I've rechecked my Privacy setting in Firefox, and I do have "Accept cookies" and
"Accept third-party cookies" and "keep until they expire" checked. I'm inclined 
to
think that the problem is in your part.

This is essentially the same issue as this -
http://code.google.com/p/ourmedia3/issues/detail?id=10

Problem is that channels is it's own site (http://beta.channels.ourmedia.org/) 
and
single/shared sign-on needs to be implemented. I believe this module will do the
trick - http://drupal.org/node/50418

Looking into it...

Notes from Markus regarding this module - http://drupal.org/node/50418

i've looked at this too.  one issue is that this requires one database.  we 
currently
use two, one for each site.  to use this, we'd have to merge to a single db and 
use
table prefixes.

my one concern with this approach is that i believe it relies on using shared 
tables.
 that means that one can not use update.php to perform future updates on both sites,
a situation i'd like to avoid if possible.  do you know how one upgrades a site 
that
uses shared tables?

another issue is that this also begins to defeat the original purpose and 
reason for
separating the two sites in the first place.  one easy solution is to simply 
have one
site, but this was a real performance problem we found.  the situation is 
analogous
to d.o and g.d.o, except they don't share a common login/signin.  basically, 
we'd
like to keep the og based site physically separate from the main site and be 
able to
move it to a separate system if need be performance-wise.

beta is now one site.  i started with channels and then imported media nodes.  
we are redoing learning center so 
only scraping old questions from there.
