 Midou | youtubers would leave unless youtube pay them very well | 12:29:51 |
| Midou | if they try to copy netflix | 12:30:00 |
 iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> @Midou, looks like I got it working last night. | 12:50:02 |
| iv-bot | <midou> Nice | 12:50:17 |
| iv-bot | <midou> It would help if you tell to others how you did it just in case they stumble to the same problem as you :p | 12:50:45 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> "<DFX4509B> Or at the very least they could start implementing WideVine DRM on their streams." oh, i saw widevine and started getting worried. this is a potential negative reaction to invidious by google. | 12:51:46 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> hmmm... | 12:52:13 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> oh, i am pretty sure that it was that indenting/formatting thing | 12:52:37 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> i need to change that password...brb | 12:52:53 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> nano's ^T is great. | 13:03:19 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> what's that password for btw... and how do i add users? | 13:03:38 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> oh they add themselves. | 13:06:47 |
 Onno | Re: YT will start distorting viewer experience for non-compliant clients:
Why won't they just build in a check to see if you're using a recognised client and leave the rest behind? APIs can be subject to change, after all. | 13:07:48 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> i wonder if google's sent people to #invidious | 13:13:42 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> like as an official directive from a manager that would have been recorded in an email | 13:14:41 |
| Onno | I'm not trying to troll here. I'm worried that they will cut us off with a modified API. | 13:15:02 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> not saying you are. | 13:18:23 |
| Onno | Ok | 13:19:03 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> let's say this: i know someone who posted some code on how to break Midwest Tape's (who own Hoopla, RB Digital) DRM and they were not happy. | 13:19:34 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> the code was posted on github and they sent a cease and desist to github and to the account holder. | 13:20:08 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> from Midwest Tape's real counsel | 13:20:37 |
| Onno | Ok, so you're worried about a poison pill? | 13:20:42 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> i'm not worried about it at all; i rarely use youtube, but i heard about this on audiobookshelf's discord... | 13:21:15 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> it is just obvious that Midwest Tape found the github repo because their programmers are people too... | 13:21:35 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> so they go out and use github and irc, etc., | 13:21:45 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> so why wouldn't a yoututbe programmer look at the invidious code and maybe poke around in the chat rooms? | 13:22:11 |
| Onno | fair enough | 13:22:54 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> anyway, that hoopla download script caused hoopla to change their DRM scheme to wide vine | 13:23:37 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> probably years before they would have otherwise. | 13:23:46 |
| iv-bot | <iconoclast_hero> (that's pretty wild speculation in terms of when they changed it and even why, but the timing was right after the C&D was sent) | 13:24:23 |
