Let them rot there. The ones that cares and wants to have discussions would find their way here, just like we did. That subreddit has been cancer for a while now.
(didn't see you posted this one as I was posting it)
yt-dlp youtube-dl fork that is more current and works better for tons of sites to download media.
Means the same thing, that there was something wrong with the original upload. However, it doesn't mean that what was wrong was the encode itself, but it could be the torrent that was created that was wrong (like a client adding padding files that blocked some users from completing the download).
Il manque une communauté sur lemmy similaire à /r/rienabranler. Ce sujet irait bien la dedans.
Yes. That's the guarded secret I was talking about, no one in the know will share it publicly so it isn't patched.
I started to archive podcasts like Small Town Murder and Crime in Sports, but also downloading stuff from the BBC, I really like their audio dramas. I'll probably expand to other podcasts once I find more good ones.
Also a bit off topic, but I also like to record/archive sports radio broadcasts.
Croisons les doigts !
Bypassing L1 encryption (highest level) is a well guarded "secret" and almost impossible to bypass, since the license keys are exchanged with approved hardware, and not software decoded like that extension you're talking about used to do. L3 usually have the low quality options of streams.
RedFox anystream I'm pretty sure is for L3 (anyone can correct me if I'm wrong), It's not free, and personally have not tested it so I can't vouch for how well it works, but I'm pretty sure you won't get 1080p (even though it says so, that's usually behind L1) or 4K from this. However you can give it a try with the free 21-day trial version limited to 10 downloads, and see if that's something you would be willing to pay for.
mkvtoolnix create/edit mkv files. Very useful to remove or add subtitles or audio tracks amongst others.
