#webvideo — Public Fediverse posts

I guess Goggle must be waging war on Free Code front-ends again. Both NewPipe and PipePipe have stopped being able to play YouTub videos on my Android, sometime in the last 24 hours. At least Invidio.us was still working on my laptop last night, and is working in my mobile browser for now.

Sara's Costume Codex series does a thoughtful, sex positive critique of 7 of 9's costume in Voyager. Focusing on whether it suits her character, or the show's themes, or contributes to its worldbuilding;

"It's not great to be objectifying anybody. Unless of course it serves the story. I don't think there's a clear line here. More of a spectrum, as with most things."

The great thing about YouTub is that when it comes to web video, it's got pretty much everything. The biggest problem with YouTub is that it's got pretty much everything, and most of it is puerile garbage, AI slop, and ads disguised as "content". Or in some cases, all 3 in 1 video.

It's like a backyard pool after a party for spoilt trust fund kids. Full of lukewarm vomit and bits of poo, but with the occasional gem in there if you can be bothered to sieve it out.

What's even cooler is I learned I can subscribe to a PeerTube channel using AntennaPod, and download videos to watch offline. Presumably this works with any podcast app that can handle video. The only missing stair I found in the experience so far was when I locked my screen during playback. The video not only stopped, but got deleted and marked as played.

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

"A recent study from Sandvine found that during the Covid-19 crisis YouTube has dethroned Netflix as the most popular content on the Internet, consuming 15% of Internet traffic to Netflix’s 11%."

I'm in two minds about public media outlets like RNZ publishing the video they produce on YouRube;

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp4OXwfZE1SaCQ4jRAuaoXQ

It makes sense for publicly-funded media to publish anywhere that members of the public might be, especially where we don't have to pay. In fact, any media funded 100% with public money ought to be under a CreativeCommons BY-SA license, or even placed in the public domain. So *anyone* can publish it, anywhere they like.

Watching Cold Crash Pictures defence of Gone With the Wind, as a pointed satire of confederate apologetics (part 2);

It occurs to me that we could be seeing a reworking of the history depicted, on a larger geographical canvas. Let me unpack that a bit.

It's famously easy to dunk on the Metaverse, and Ryan George does a great job of it in this video;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ru2Ddp9f_I

But he also makes an insightful point, worth repeating. Many technologies that are now part of everyday work and play began as digital toys, ruthlessly mocked by people who were adults when they came out.

I've been taking a careful look at some video downloaded from the web to see of it's real, or algorithmically generated. It occurs to me that this isn't necessarily an either/or.

I believe this is the first time I've seen a video hosted on PeerTube server, embedded in a web page;

Who knew Goggle Video was still a thing?

If you go to GoogleVideo.com in a web browser it redirects to Goggle Search. But in a web browser with NoScript, when you play a YouTub video in an Invidio.us instance, you can see it calling scripts from the GoogleVideo.com domain.

If you have a video channel, and you want to help us reduce the power YouTube have over online video, here's an idea...

Consider posting only a teaser clip of each of your videos to your YT channel, with links back to the full video on a PeerTube server. Or some other ethical video hosting service you trust and endorse. That will help more people find your videos than only posting them on the ethical server, and help more people learn about replacements for YT.

Got an update for LibreTube from F-Droid the other day, so I can finally use it again. One upside of having it not work for a while, is that I gave NewPipe another go. It's improved a lot since the legacy version I used to use on my old Android.

Anything to avoid using SpewTube's default apps. Every time I see someone using them, I also see a flood of ads, of biblical proportions.

Still hoping for a mass exodus of vloggers to PeerTube...

#video #WebVideo #PeerTube #LibreTube #NewPipe #YouTube

Today I did a search for "Indymedia" on SpewTube. Despite more than two decades of radical videographers uploading web video to projects affiliated with the Indymedia network, I found very little. What I did find couldn't be easily downloaded, despite being public interest media, created to be shared.

If only we'd had a tool like PeerTube in the mid-2000s.

A little context...
