So a lot of times NS videos are embedding into threads or news stories such as this:

Click for larger image

I would like to be able to click a button on the embedded video that would bring me to the video's actual page so I can comment/rate. This page:

Click for larger image

Is it just me or is that not possible? I've tried clicking all over the video and I cannot get to the comment/rating page.

Ah yes...

Sorry we've been playing around with the player lately and sort of messed this up a bit.

Would you guys prefer it as a watermark logo in the bottom right, or a super small logo in the control bar of the player?

I say put a little NS logo in a box just to the right of the full screen button, but either one would work fine!

the watermark can be a bit annoying because it overlays on the video :\ better in the menu bar if possible!

oh and fooling around with the watermark in My media on recently uploaded and private videos, I can get a link to the video page by clicking on it. kind of cool, I wonder if embeds and links to it still work if you aren't on the account the video is for, kind of like unlisted videos for youtube?

well i like it, i usually click it on embedded vimeo and youtube videos to get easy access to the page to link someone the to video if I need.

Watermark is done correctly is a great way to get views and comments and ratings.
