  • Tell HN: If You Are in Russia
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Mar 2022
    I am in Ukraine right now. In a small village to the north of Kyiv. I am the author of PhotoSwipe (https://github.com/dimsemenov/photoswipe).

    Yesterday I was filling bags with sand to make a fortification for local defenders. I hear artillery as I am writing this. And by the way, you get used to it.

    In the last few days I received about 20 emails offering support, none of them were from russian devs. One asked a technical question about my lib, I answered "do you know what's happening in Ukraine right now?" - no reply.

    I see a few russian companies and personalities openly condemn the aggression (such as JetBrains) and I'm very grateful to them. However most are silent, or have very weak Instagram post "no war" with a sadface, or even worse - post with "we are out of politics".

    And that's IT people, which are presumably more informed. Unfortunately, due to misinformation most russian people have no idea what's happening here, that's why sanctions should affect regular people, and not just putin and his close allies.

  • Stream to Chromecast with resolved, vlc and bash
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Jan 2024
    For people who like to watch with subtitles, VLC currently doesn't support streaming to chromecast with SRT subtitles.. there are several issues for it and I believe support is slated for the next major version of Chromecast, but not sure when that will be.

    The typical "workaround" is to reencode the video file to include the subtitles directly, but that sounded like too much work, so I hacked together a static page using https://videojs.com/ to embed a player and load the video and subtitles in a browser window.

    Here it is in gist form if anyone has a similar issue: https://gist.github.com/HartS/9bb2721fa73b6798efcdbf5c463e87...

    This was hacked together as quickly as possible for my own needs, so definitely not intended to be an example of clean code. You need to run the python server separately to serve the SRT because video-js can't load it from a file URL IIRC

    Thank you! This is the kind of creative solution I was looking for. Your comment helped me find video.js which has first-party support for opening M3U8 streams.

  • Did the IJF Live player switch from YouTube to their own?
    1 project | /r/judo | 6 Jun 2022
    It looks like the IJF has switched to using the Video.js player on their portal. I'm not sure what to think of that. This could be the IJF taking more control over their IP which is ultimately a good thing. If you want to watch specific matches and see when certain actions happen then you must use their portal.
