I’d like to do the same, however on VLC (in Linux)… is there an easy way? (sorry for my ignorance) EDIT: I found a tutorial and tried to open a random youtube video, I think I may be missing a codec or something. When I click play nothing happens, but I think it i accessing the video since I can see a thumbnail. I think this is a problem on my end.
I usually watch youtube (well via Freetube) on 480, maybe 720 when I am paying attention and 360 when I am laying down. I prefer these small file sizes because I can skip left and right in the video time with the arrow buttons like the file is local and not online. I haven’t pirated a movie in years (I would not want to watch anything new) but I download a lot of old racing from the 80s and 90s and it is already 480p, so as long as it is in english, not black/white I am happy.
me too but back in october of 23… works so much better than youtube for me even if ads weren’t the reason
There are lots of terms. I discovered this because there is an older song I like that has his vocals over some trance - it is by Chicane called “don’t give up”. I also found Chicane is blocked. This causes a streisand effect for me where I will purposely search for and share items that are censored regardless if I like them or not.
Years ago I sold my TV (the big kind with the heavy back) and my DVD player on craiglist for 5$ usd each. I only watch video via a 30 inch monitor connected to my linux PCs. It’s nice having full control over my hardware. I would never buy a “smart” tv out of principle.
Upvoted - if you want to do cool things… learn how to use the command line interface. It’s what separates the men from the boys…
I started using freetube for linux a month or so ago. This is so much better than native youtube. The entire interface is smoother, I get less “loading” moments (none really) and it does not try and constantly reduce my resolution by “auto adjusting”. No ads, no BS. Just better all around.
And this is fine, because you’re using your cash to “screw the system” which I hold utmost respect for.
can I ask- what kind of OSTs? I have about 5000 individual OSTs, composed of games mostly from the 80s and 90s.
