Allow guest chat (without registration)
When visitors are watching a stream, it'd be great if they can just chat without having to create a JTV account first.
Simply enter a quick nickname (could be displayed with a [guest] prefix or something, or they might even be generated, like guest871453) and let viewers chat right away!

Bring back the old JTV !!!!
Now that JTV only has a "following" option we can't talk to ANYONE on meebo. It's honestly really stupid that JTV has taken away the only joy of this site...Without bulletins we keep our emotions in, which is bad. Without friends, we won't be able to tell people what's going on. With "following" it's just stupid ! No body wants the "following" option! We want our FRIENDS.

Quality setting for watching archive videos
The archive always seems to be in the highest available resolution, even if that is more than my internet connection can handle. When I watch archives of a 1080p stream, I pretty much have to preload two thirds of the video before I can start watching. Suggestion: implement a quality setting like for the streams, where I can just select 720p or 480p and everything is fine.

Logs of which moderators timeout users for casters
As a broadcaster, i want to know when my moderators are being abusive. This is especially important in larger channels. Please make it so that there is a log of when a user is timed out or banned. Right now there is ban list, but if a user is unbanned, there is no record of it happening.
This is a critical tool to managing a high quality experience in the chat room. Thanks!

Bring back the "Currently Live" feature of Home.
As you are aware you've supposedly "improved" Home and made it easier for us to view old broadcasts and highlights of channels we follow.
This is not what your users want. Viewers don't want it. Broadcasters don't want it. I don't want it. What we want is our convenience back. What I want returned is the ability to click my name on the top of the page and immediately see if anyone I'm following is currently broadcasting.
If you REALLY want this "Videos for you" feature then by all means have it in our /home, but do not take away… more

create a ROKU digital video player channel.
With the addition of the iPhone app, I would love to see justin.tv create a Roku channel.
The Roku digital video player (DVP) is currently compatible with Netflix, Pandora Radio, Amazon VOD, MLB.TV, Revision3, and many other news and entertainment providers.
Roku has a market penetration in the high six-figures, providing a great viewer base and is well beyond a niche entertainment alternative.

JTV must have a confirmation emails system, so create new accounts will more slow for the spamers and trolls, now is very easy create a new account when someone is banned

Make Justin.tv compatible to play on Nintendo Wii.
Justin.tv is the best video streaming website around, but unfortunately the flash applets do not run on the Nintendo Wii's internet. It would be a great feature for the ability to watch streamed videos from Justin.tv on the Wii, especially in full screen. Please implement this feature and please us Wii browsers!

Make a viewer app for Android systems
Of course it'd need to work on 1.5 and up to make everyone happy, but please look into making one. I don't have internet at home, but being able to stream through my droid would be awesome.

Co-Hosting
Pretty much what blogtv offers that can let broadcasters have a co-host person. It makes the broadcast more interesting and introduce new people to the channel.

Hide what I'm watching from my friends
I would really like to see the privacy feature to be able to hide what I am currently watching from my friends list.
Even when having the option "Hide I'm Watching from my profile" set, my friends can still see what I am doing from their homescreen. As I do not want to share what channels I am on with my friends, I would like to have an option to hide this.
Thank you!

Advanced Channel Statistics
I think it would be great for broadcasters to have "Advanced Statistics" available to them, instead of just the number of fans and views.
Youtube has a pretty nice advanced statistic option. It would be cool to allow broadcasters to look into Demographics, views broken down to see when you have the most (days of the week, times, etc), favorites broken by day, etc.
If Justin.tv adopted this idea I think broadcasters would completely love it.

Create Folders for Videos/Favorite Channels
In my opinion, I think JTV should give the broadcaster the option to create folders to archive there videos. Like I could have numerous folders to place certain videos. Then I would like for them to do that with Favorite channels. Would help us find stuff alot easier, and make it let time consuming.

Restore option to Search Channel Tags
With the recent change in the JTV search bar, channel tags have been rendered meaningless, since results are no longer returned against them. I am part of a community of dozens of broadcasters and, ever since the removal of Networks, putting a common tag in our channels was the only way for us to connect with each other and see who was live. Now that tag searches no longer work, we have no way to see who is broadcasting within our community. This change only further fragments users on JTV and makes things difficult. We need SOME WAY to unify… more

Broadcaster Revenue Sharing Options
Many other casting sites (which shall not be named) provide the opportunity for a caster to get a portion of the ad revenue earned from their page. Sites like tagfoot.com actually rotate your ads with their ads 50/50. I'd like to see something like this implemented on Justin.tv. Personally, I'd want a portion of the revenue that my channel generates go to charity (there should be an option for the revenue to go directly to a charity without passing my hands), but there also should just be plain options where the caster just gets their ads displayed as well.
