but hey aint that how google started 😄

2018-12-16 03:09:43 UTC  

I'd love to see about the encoding side of things

2018-12-16 03:10:04 UTC  

actually we need ideas in that side of things

2018-12-16 03:10:25 UTC  

will users / video creators encode things themself or should we build it into our end user applications...

2018-12-16 03:10:33 UTC  

I think there's an opportunity for something similar to bitrate peeling to be integrated

2018-12-16 03:10:41 UTC  

people don't seem to use these tools, but they exist in most good video codecs these days

2018-12-16 03:10:45 UTC  

including VP9 and AV1

2018-12-16 03:11:09 UTC  

H.264 didn't have it until an extension, and I'm not sure it's even implemented, so that's a no-go

2018-12-16 03:11:43 UTC  

@xorgy well , ive been wondering , what does the future of content hold for us.. is it 4k, 8k? or 480p?

2018-12-16 03:11:51 UTC  

because once people have to actually host their own videos

2018-12-16 03:11:56 UTC  

they may not wanna pay 2000 a month for 4k

2018-12-16 03:12:22 UTC  

on a distributed platform, somewhat reducing the size of multiple resolutions (and framerates? color depths?)can actually have a pretty good impact.

2018-12-16 03:12:34 UTC  

especially when it comes to the cost of caches

2018-12-16 03:12:45 UTC  

then again, YouTube is probably right not to be using it right now

2018-12-16 03:12:56 UTC  

cool. so multiple resolutions. we have just a Single Post to IPFS right now.. just pushes entire video to IPFS chain

2018-12-16 03:13:01 UTC  

There are some basic quality of life things, like loudness normalization, which should exist

2018-12-16 03:13:05 UTC  

no encoder on our DAPP

2018-12-16 03:13:07 UTC  

lbry

2018-12-16 03:13:09 UTC  

hmm

2018-12-16 03:13:15 UTC  

lbry centralized.

2018-12-16 03:13:16 UTC  

how do they get the multiple resolutions?

2018-12-16 03:13:19 UTC  

lbry is weird

2018-12-16 03:13:25 UTC  

they don't @xorgy just one

2018-12-16 03:13:32 UTC  

I was thinking of going to work with them

2018-12-16 03:13:32 UTC  

is it?

2018-12-16 03:13:37 UTC  

but I never followed through with the hiring shit

2018-12-16 03:13:43 UTC  

I thought it was block chain

2018-12-16 03:13:46 UTC  

yeah their admin of discord said it wasnt then i really looked into building on it

2018-12-16 03:13:49 UTC  

it's centralized APIs

2018-12-16 03:13:52 UTC  

not even like dtube

2018-12-16 03:13:53 UTC  

I don't really like the blockchain bit

2018-12-16 03:13:59 UTC  

the technology reeks

2018-12-16 03:14:01 UTC  

plus it's Shitty PoW chain

2018-12-16 03:14:05 UTC  

that can be attak'd

2018-12-16 03:14:21 UTC  

hm.

2018-12-16 03:14:27 UTC  

I like the simple human WoT + asymmetric crypto approach to things

2018-12-16 03:14:52 UTC  

money is a hard problem though

2018-12-16 03:15:10 UTC  

not everyone lives in a country where their cash is more efficient than even bitcoin

2018-12-16 03:15:19 UTC  

which is an atrocious thing to be able to say about your society.

2018-12-16 03:16:01 UTC  

@Zer0 i mean steem is better, no TX fees

2018-12-16 03:16:10 UTC
