Damn Lemmy users are no different from Reddit. Don’t read anything. Take anything you did read out of context. Be sure to rage post your own ignorance so we can all read about it.
You can help by clarifying the article
He shouldn’t have to, the point is read before commenting about a clickbait headline. If he has to spell it out that only furthers his point.
Yes, he has no responsibility to explain it. But if he would like to help anyways, he could.

We’re do you think Lemmy got all its users?
Was this comment meant for another thread? I’m confused
You forgot to mention it’s no different from Reddit with the horrible titles either.
Yeah sure it’s user fault and not the click bait headline, I’m sure they can describe the whole article in one headline without any confusion, oh and probably half of lemmy user are used to be redditers
What are you even talking about? Do you feel better after getting that off your chest?

Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”
Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities.
The last time I tried, VLC could already do that.
That’s great, I had no idea!

Now you put it that way… 😃
You can already watch youtube ad-free with VLC…
That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know!
Some of the new stuff looks cool, and for all of these knee-jerk reactionaries… optional.
Changes are looking good, great to see it is still very active!
I’d rather be able to stream a file from my PC via VLC to other people with VLC.
If that’s already a thing, then I guess I just gotta figure it out…
VLC support RTMP, streaming a live feed like twitch. https://wiki.videolan.org/RTMP/
VLC also support reading from network https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Play_HowTo/Basic_Use_0.9/Opening_modes/#Opening_a_Network
You are also able to generate a stream through multiple interfaces though I couldn’t find how. Still, it is officially reported as being possible. https://www.videolan.org/streaming-features.html
Yeah, I know about RTPM, but what I meant was more akin to streaming the file itself.
Take for example, me and my friends want to watch a movie. One of us has the movie. We all have VLC. The one with the movie loads the file, the others… Somehow… Connect to the VLC with the loaded file and have it directly stream to their own VLC.
I dig a little and there is an option on the GUI to easily stream. On the media menu, there is a stream option (CTRL+S) which allows you to stream a file using the interface you want. It will create a server and it’s up to you to make that server available to your friends (port forwarding). They will the open your video from a network interface link.
Though, while I did manage to stream between two instances of VLC on the same machine. It was after many attempts and I did not have any sound.
Not incredible, I will admit, but I’m quite confident it can work well once you understand what parameters to use.
mpv is our saviour.
Fork incoming.
Oh god, no…
Not a fan of that tbh
Dude, they are not starting their own ad supported streaming service. They are merely adding dupport for one more streaming protocol that happens to be used for that. If these services were using RTSP for their streams, they’d already be supported. This is absolutely in line with VLC’s swiss army knife-approach.
Otherwise, new GUI sounds good to me. The old one is proven but a bit clunky.
I think there should be local-only players. VLC was one forever. There are tons of streaming service clients out there and I personally don’t want VLC to add this feature. But it is just my personal opinion. I never said it’s bad
But it has had networking capabilities for like… ever? RTSP, HTTP, …
Idk about that. I don’t even care much cuz I don’t use VLC at all. Lol I just wanted to send a regular short controversial unpopular opinion comment. I hope it’s not considered wrong here
One doesn’t have to use the feature and it’s not like it’s going to be felt, nor noticeably use any resources when not in use.

Maybe read more than the headline.

Damn this dude loves to delete themselves I guess
For the sake of lemmy civility and prosperity I just didn’t want to start an argument.
Let’s just say I did read the whole article before posting and shouldn’t be assumed otherwise unless there was something incorrect being said, which was imposible due the nature of the comment itself.
Stick a fork in it, it’s done.
