Since it's probably not clear to most HN readers, this is maintained by the Swedish public broadcaster (SVT: Sveriges Television) which provides a video streaming service (similar to BBC iPlayer) at https://www.svtplay.se

The documentation has a story about how the project came about (as a replacement for the proprietary system they were using) https://svt.github.io/encore-doc/#projecthistory

I was assuming it was part of Intel's SVT encoder project

Speaking of that, today is the last day to see the 24/7 "slow TV" streaming of the moose crossing the stream [1].

Not sure if it’s georestricted or not, but if it is that’s probably easily solvable with Mullvad VPN or a similar service.

It's not for the US, Denmark and Swtizerland at least.

Verified access from US although I think they ran out of moose.

Most of the time, you only see them (or other animals) rarely, but sometimes there are a bunch non-stop. That's how it is.

Great. I guess they mostly do that for stuff they don’t own themselves.

I think so actually, stuff they're getting a license from someone else for.

It's also on twitch, shouldn't be geoblocked there https://www.twitch.tv/svt_slow
