Chrome does not support HLS.
DASH isn't plug and play. It's an XML representation describing how to ingest media streams using something like Media Source Extensions.
There are a lot of players out there that will do this heavy lifting for you.

morsel ingests h264 & aac and produces fragmented mp4 files & playlists. plainview reads the playlists and uses MSE in the browser to play them via the web pupil is a WIP server that reads h264 & aac over TCP and passes that data to morsel, then uploads to any s3 compatible storage (AWS, Minio, etc)
The swift stuff works on Linux, iOS, tvOS, etc
edit:
There's also a WIP project called "kubrick" https://github.com/krad/kubrick
It's a simple POP wrapper around AVFoundation that allows for building media processing pipelines.
There's an example in the project for reading video samples and passing them through a series of Metal shaders to produce fun effects.

Implementing the feature is pretty trivial and works on a file by file basis

The first thing you're exposed to is its sounds and symbols.
They look & sound strange and your brain instinctively tries to make sense of them by comparing it to something you are already familiar with.
Then when you dig into it you begin learning vocabulary and grammar. You focus on that for a long time until the sounds sound less like gibberish and resemble something like what you've been practicing putting on paper.
Once you get comfortable with the constructs and stop focusing on them you can start conversing - putting more effort into what you're trying to say then how you would go about saying it.
After that then you can start picking up all the idioms, colloquialisms, cliches, double entendres, etc
Finally you can start inventing your own.
First thing I thought of when I saw all the func calls, curly braces and beaks (->) was "this looks like in between Lua and Go"
After starting to dig into the book, it's pretty apparent that isn't the case
Plus they'd be calling REAL cops. Ones that have to enforce and abide by real laws or actually face consequences.
I was able to see it and assumed everyone else would be able to as well
Not too difficult to get it wired up with papertrailapp.com either - That combo makes it VERY handy
That's what I was getting at with my "Breaking Bad" comment.
A sort of "total depravity" is already a big part of pop culture, so it'd be easy to ignore false positives of people crying wolf.
What I was getting at is that what they're looking for is kind of a big unknown. If media about illegal things is so popular and they ignore it, it leads one to think that data being mined is possibly being used in a fashion similar to a personal agenda.
That's what's truly dangerous about monitoring at this scale. It's not so much that it's happening it's that they're creating something that could grant someone almost god like powers.
If I were to make an analogy, I'd say it's like a man buying a pistol to protect his family and then his child finds it loaded in a night stand.
I call them my cable modem and tivo
In my opinion that would be an exercise in futility.
I think a proper response to this issue is to simply promote social depravity on a grand scale.
Everybody should just constantly read/watch/listen to media involving things like methamphetamine manufacturing, nuclear & home made weapons/chemicals, illegal currencies, human trafficking, hardcore pornography, armed rebellions, the middle east, famous terrorists, serial killers, bon jovi, etc
All of those are a lot more interesting to the common man than lessons on how to use PGP....which is theoretically breakable thanks to the advent of quantum computing.
If everything is being sniffed and stored, there have to be a number of very specific topics that are being sought after in that data.....in my opinion it'd be far worse if the government wasn't searching for things like human trafficking and nuclear weapons (things, hopefully, we can all agree are not good).
Television series like "Breaking Bad" are already pulling weekly audience number of around 3 million plus. One could argue that you wouldn't even have to do much promotion, as these topics already seem to be mainstays in much present day pop culture
You did not have a hand in authoring the iPad app, correct?
You submitted a claim to Apple about clauses in the GPL not being compatible with the App Store's distribution model, correct?
In my original statement, I don't think I made any point that could be considered "wrong". I stated one fact (a 3rd party developed the app) followed by my opinion. I'm sorry you don't think my opinion is 'correct', but that doesn't mean I'm going to bet against the proliferation of GPL'd software because of these actions.
So no. This does not mean there will be more focus on VLC for Android.
If anything I think this is a bad thing for all software currently using the GPL.
I understand the claim and ultimately it's the author's decision, but I feel that using the GPL in this fashion is ironic at best and hypocritical at worst.
Also I felt the whole "I scored 1600 on my SATs" and shooting down his professor with some technobabble about memory management was a little much. I understand there needs to be elements to add dramatic effect, but I can't help but feel there's a whole generation of assholes out there taking notes and thinking that being arrogant all the time = being right all the time
Right place at the wrong time I suppose. Just wasn't happy while I was there.
I was absolutely miserable living here.
If you're young, you should head to one of the coasts. That's my opinion.
Austin would be great if I was older and in a position to buy a house/ start a family / etc
The story is they had this at burning man a few years ago. Great technology for setting up little "communal" nodes in different parts of the world.
Could easily be abused. Would probably drive the cost up.
If shared between a small group though, could be a cost effective way to bridge small&remote communities across the world.
Could diversify our internets.
If you buy something and then a number of your 'followers' buy the same item a few days afterwards, that information is very valuable.
I can't try tyrone :(
Not sure where to submit bugs because the article tells me to use thor instead and that pixii isn't maintained.
Will anyone benefit from having read this article?
Are there really that many people interested in this?
Are you all really up voting this stuff because you're legitimately interested?
