Update: YouTube has just reinstated the video, after what I presume is a human review process. I wish it didn't take making noise on socials to get past the 'AI deny' process :(
Go forth, and self-host all the things! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hFas54xFtg
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
@geerlingguy nice!
Btw, is Nebula of interest to you? I know @notjustbikes uploads there and a few of his videos can only be uploaded to Nebula due to YouTube's corporate-first fair-use policy. (Such as his "Samsung City" video)
@bedast @geerlingguy tried infuse on the appletv?
Might have to pay for it depending on which features you need
@Dragon @geerlingguy AppleTV doesn't support TrueHD with Atmos nor audio passthrough so the best Infuse can do with ripped blurays is extract the TrueHD PCM audio and play it without the Atmos metadata. Infuse is good if you don't care about this.
LibreElec doesn't support Dolby Vision, but it does support HDR10. With audio passthrough, you get a pretty good audiovisual experience from bluray rips.
🙄
Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (to Google's bottom line).
FTFY, Jeff!
@michaelgraaf Not sure why it's doing that. I uploaded as .mov accidentally, then I updated the file name to .mp4, and it was briefly playable, but now shows that 'can't be played' message.
If you click the file it works though.
@geerlingguy BuT yOu rIpPeD tHe pHySiCaL dIsCs aND bRokE thE cOpyProtection. the only true legal way is to build something like a remote controllable jukebox for all types of media!
btw, I didn't got the "car suffix rhyme" reference :(
@utf_7 @geerlingguy Yup also my suspicion: under DMCA, by passing a protection is illegal, even if the encryption is equivalent to "ROT-13, now with double rounds for moar protection!".
So probably Google uses that as an excuse to have AI bots auto scan video's audio track for mentions of "ELEC", "JellyFin" and the like.
...
@utf_7 @geerlingguy ...
And to give instructions to the poor underpaid/overworked reviewer in some 3rd world country that if the 0.5sec excerpt they got contain those names, they MUST click "appeal reject" (and MUST process 10000 such 0.5sec clips per day to meet the quota for their meager pay).
The cherry on top being that (as others mentioned in the thread) this helps Google kill potential competitor to the time users sink into YouTube.
@geerlingguy we have a European Commission sponsored project https://fediversity.eu that tries to find a way out of the “golden handcuffs” situation, but it is a tough problem.
Of course the reason for Google to be able to pay that much money is that they unfairly profile the hell out of your viewers. It seems that there is no “fair” way to give you a decent living without extorting the personal data of 100’s of 1000’s of people.
A project like @Taler might help here, yet the mental barrier for actually actively giving money for content when so much of it is available (seemingly) for free is quite high. Even for people that completely get the unfairness of the situation.
Would you be interested in doing some experiments? Like us hosting a peertube server for free under the project and adding taler to it for micropayments?
@geerlingguy regarding the PeerTube part of that post:
And what about releasing on multiple platforms? E.g.: keep releasing on YouTube for the big viewership that sponsors like, while at the same time also upload to PeerTube (and maybe an extra YT competitor like Vimeo) as a backup for situations as this one?
Or is it something that YouTube would punish you for?
Fab analogy, especially with Google's history of killing off apps and services, leaving users scrambling for alternative solutions; you never see that coming either…
@geerlingguy would it be feasible to start a Peertube channel in parallel with the Golden Handcuffer? Honestly I don’t want to be Joe Random Internet Guy demanding that you do more work. I’m asking in the hopes that you could re-use much of your video on Peertube, so that it isn’t so much more work.
You’re influential. People see a guy like you making a move, maybe more will follow, maybe a critical mass will … Well you know how this stuff works, who’m I telling?
@geerlingguy is nebula any use as a backup/secondary to YouTube?
Have no idea how the revenue model works there, I presume less than floatplane given you don't subscribe to individuals
