• Bored?

    I've put a subset of the photos and videos together.

    It's taken me far more time to make than I thought it would.

    47 minutes long. I can't put it on YouTube because too many copyrights.
    I'm not sure my little server will cope with many simultaneous streams
    so it might fail miserably.

    Let me know.

    I tried to play the video, which seems like it's available but being
    heavily buffered, presumably since the other five people reading the
    group are also trying to view it.

    I thought I might try the 'Download' option in the three dot menu, but I
    got this error:

    a839acc8-c9bc-4277-8b62-e234761296df.mp4
    Failed - No file

    I'll try to view/download it later.

    worked fine for me in Firefox via Airband broadband and a Proton VPN

    I was able to skip to various points in the video and it resumed seamlessly

    Probably won't sleep very well tonight, with so much cheesy consumption
    this evening.

    Yeah I think I disallowed downloads on the link. I'm thinking of giving peertube a go at some point.

    Only started watching it (12:40 Saturday) but I liked the bit where
    smart police officers were directing the road chaos and being largely

    The Bad Gateway error is now gone, and now the video appears to load,
    but in a Chrome browser (Chromebook & also Windows 10) I don't see
    any video, just audio. In the Edge browser, I see the opening text,
    plus audio, but playback stops a few seconds in. I didn't have any
    of these issues with the larger file in the original link.

    Maybe it's encoded with a newer codec that my browsers don't know
    about? Dunno.

    I've kinda given up with using Immich to host it - not really the right
    place. There's a copy on Google photos (which I think I already linked
    to) for now and also soon on a Peertube host (not mine).

    FWIW it worked fine for me in the Brave browser (W11) but spent more
    time buffering than actually playing when I tried it in FireFox, so
    it's likely that it is browser related.
