Strypey<p>What's even cooler is I learned I can subscribe to a PeerTube channel using AntennaPod, and download videos to watch offline. Presumably this works with any podcast app that can handle video. The only missing stair I found in the experience so far was when I locked my screen during playback. The video not only stopped, but got deleted and marked as played.</p><p>(2/?)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIL</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/VideoBlogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoBlogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/WebVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebVideo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/PeerTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeerTube</span></a></p>
James Bartlett :terminal:<p>I have a minor gripe with modern video apps (<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/videoblogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>videoblogging</span></a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/videoconferencing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>videoconferencing</span></a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/videochat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>videochat</span></a>… basically every app where the user has a camera pointed at themselves, and the app renders a preview of the camera&#39;s perspective).</p><p>I&#39;ve been using <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/webcams" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>webcams</span></a> since the 640x480 days, and the early implementations were all set up very intuitively. The preview would always show a <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MirrorImage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MirrorImage</span></a> of the camera&#39;s input, while the actual video, whether it was recorded, broadcast, or whatever, was left unmodified. This was great!</p><p>But sometime in the last decade or so, all the video apps started doing this annoying thing where they give the user an option to toggle the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/mirroring" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mirroring</span></a> effect, but that&#39;s exactly the problem – they treat it like any other effect! When you turn mirroring on, it&#39;s on for both your own preview AND for the actual video, and vice versa. </p><p>Why on earth did they do this? When I&#39;m on a video call, I want my preview to be mirrored, but I want everyone else to see the unmodified video! 🤬</p>
