@maddy floorp handles it just fine lmao

might get my browser to work with this... if possible.

@maddy i should have read that warning before instinctively opening up devtools, wondering why the source is displayed so small, and instantly freezing my browser by double clicking

@ixhby I think it's cause the html was very minimal, so it's using the video resolution, which is ~480i

☭Jan 6

@maddy oh nono i meant why the src attribute in the devtools is limited to ~40 characters, the video is a pretty normal size

Jan 6

@ixhby OHHHH, I understand now.

@maddy you couldve encoded it tighter (with av1) :3

@[email protected] Yeah, but I was reading that compatibility wasn't as good as it is with (I think it was) VP8, so I went with that.

@maddy you actually went with vp9

Jan 15

@[email protected] Ah, okay.

It's been months since I did this, and I've forgotten all the details.

@maddy av1 should be supported now in all major browsers tho, soo

Oh and you could have downmixed the sound to mono, it’s not actually stereo (opened obs and saw the two channels are identical), and thus have gotten away with a lower bitrate there

@maddy here’s a 5.8mb reencode of your video

Baa 🐑Feb 15

@maddy opens source
DEAR GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE

@maddy It looks like a single gigantic big line on Vivaldi. It's apparently clickable but it just throws me to an about:blank.

In Emacs, after I saved the page.... It's.... It's complicated, I can certainly see the base64 in the href.

Did you format the html document at all? or did you work on a single line? Or is this an export of another document?

I've never seen emacs describe the line of something as ??:49911282 (and more chars since this is only 99% of the way through)

@[email protected] IIRC, I formatted it slightly to give the page a dark background and to try centering the player, but that's about it. Definitely not all on one line. Hand-written in Notepad++, aside from the base64 xD
