f1viewer VS mpv

Both - before the widevine DRM was introduced last year the live stream through f1viewer also had the higher bitrate. They're using different CDN depending on the endpoint used to access the API one with lower bitrate and other one with a higher.

F1 viewer is the big one i think

Download on your PC (f1viewer is multiplatform if you're a linux or macos user) and copy the video to your phone - i haven't seen any mobile apps that support downloading yet.

https://github.com/SoMuchForSubtlety/f1viewer (desktop, CLI-based, without DRM support, not actively developed)

Race Control is one of the previously popular 3rdparty clients for f1tv, but like f1viewer, they rely on external players that don't support streaming with widevine DRM.

This ia one of the reasons many people on /r/F1TV suggest /r/F1MultiViewer and previously other 3rdparty viewers like Race Control and F1Viewer, before they introduced DRM to the live streams this year in April.

f1viewer is not f1mv :)

I just discovered https://github.com/SoMuchForSubtlety/f1viewer but I haven't used it yet. Does anyone here recommend this tool? If not, do you have any suggestions?

Also, I will use f1-viewer, this is a trusted application for the login. You can read their documentation.

Race Control or F1Viewer

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9053

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
