Huh. I was wondering why this looked familiar: I took that photo in Berlin, during the QtCon 2016.
Good to see u/jbkempf and VLC getting some love outside the Free Software bubble. I had the opportunity of talking to him live and he told me how they have to fight off patent trolls and aggressive copyright lawyers all the time. He also told me a fun story about the beginning of the project.

/u/PPMD1 Something you might also want to try is pre-downloading the vods you plan on analyzing with something like youtube-dl and just playing them on stream with some video player on your machine like mpv or VLC that lets you do things like frame advance. This kind of strategy really cuts down on buffering time that might arise from trying to do small time adjustments on YouTube.
If they’re strange video files something like VLC media player might be able to open it, it’s open source so it’s able to open most video files.
Here’s a link to it: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
On a related note, VLC is something of a swiss army knife of media. Those who don't yet make it available to users through their internal app-stores should consider doing that. After updating to VLC 3.0.7, of course!
How do you not have VLC? You need this program in your life.
It's the play anything do anything video player. So many settings and options you can configure.
You can view and record from a webcam, convert videos, stream files to and from with it and edit MP3 tags. along with other great stuff.
All that for the low cast of 0$ because it's free and open source.
> VLC is specifically closed source
What? Go to their main page and read the first sentence. Then go here for the source code.
Also... what does VLC specifically have to do with anything?
There is no such thing as "a laptop that won't accept MKV files". It's a native software issue regardless if you're referring to a Windows PC or a MacOS PC.
Of course, if your laptop has really outdated hardware specs, and if the videos you're trying to play are encoded with the newest video codecs (x265, VP9 or some AV1 codec), it simply doesn't have the processing power to play the files.
Download VLC media player or basically any 3rd party video player. That will solve the problem.
OR install the Microsoft Media Feature Pack (you didn't mention what OS you're using, so I'm assuming WIndows 10). This latter will add MKV container support to Windows Media Player.
If the files are too big/hard to decode, you can re-encode them with Handbrake (use one of the HQ presets with Slow/Slower encoding speed) and maybe reduce the resolution eg. from 1080p to 720p.
- load the page containing the video; don't click anything yet, and wait for everything to load
- Right-click anywhere, and select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" (Chrome/Firefox respectively). A large panel will come up; select the "Network" tab.
- Click once on the video to load it, and then another time to start playing it. Click pause after the video starts playing.
- The "Network" tab will fill up with a list of files. You want the last one called "index.m3u8". Right-click it; under "Copy", select "Copy link address" or "Copy URL" (Chrome/Firefox respectively)
- Download and run VLC. In the "Media" menu, click "Convert" (or "Convert / Save", depending on your version). Paste the URL you've copied into the URL text field. Depending on your VLC version, this might be under the "Network" tab, or it might be right there as the "Source" text field.
- Pick where to save your video under "Destination".
- Click "Start" to start the download, after which the lecture will be available as a video on your computer.

Anyone has been able to compile and offer ARM64 Win32 apps since Microsoft released the SDK in May. See for example https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
As for Chrome coming to the Store, I doubt it. Google probably wouldn't want to distribute it via the Store even if they were allowed to.
If you're really tired of twitches bullshit hit them where it hurts, in the pocket.
Check out Streamlink. It kills ALL of their advertisements by streaming through VLC.. Then you can just open up the pop out chat through your browser.
It's a great tool.
VLC media player is a very prominent and long running open source project that might be a good example for French students. I say this because it's something that some of the kids have probably used and it's a project that started in France.
For some documents I suggest taking a look at the various types and licences of open source projects:
https://opensource.org/licenses
For non-software but creative works that share a similar ethos to open source software, I suggest checking out the creative commons initiative:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses
Although I haven't experienced this exact issue myself, is hazard a guess that VLC player (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en-GB.html) will be able to extract any thing salvageable from the video file.
Video files are written to disk in a stream of data, the beginning part can be absolutely fine even if the tail end didn't get written correctly. Some players will expect to be able to read both ends of the file before playing the video and if the tail end is damaged/missing, they will refuse to play even the good part.
I've seen VLC player behave better and play partly damaged files in the past.
- Copy this link to your clipboard: https://v.redd.it/7t1aoomiibz11/HLSPlaylist.m3u8 (I got that URL by right-clicking and choosing "Inspect Element," then finding it in the HTML.)
- Open VLC.
- From the Media menu (On Mac, the File menu), choose "Open Network Stream," paste in the URL and click play.
- From the Playback menu, choose Speed -> Slower. Then do Speed -> Faster (fine) until the speed reaches .80x. With VLC, you can either do .70x or .80x, but not .75x exactly.
- Scrub back and let the video restart from the beginning.
PS: You can also play YouTube videos in VLC (more easily than the above).

it's open source, so there's no funny business going on... at least.. if there were it would have to be in plain sight in the code which is publicaly available...
VLC is free because the people who work on it believe in free and open software. if i recall correctly the original coder was offered a lot of cash for it but turned it down on principal. don't know much more about it than that.

How To Use A SRT File In VLC Player (if you don't have VLC Media Player, you should get it)
I've been watching all the ones posted here in frame-by-frame, and they actually aren't very clean.
Download the video/gif, use a video player such as vlc or mpv where you can jump frame-by-frame with a keypress, and you'll see what I mean. This will help you for all future videos/gifs posted here:
VLC download link -> https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

"Generally, open source refers to a computer program in which the source code is available to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design. Open-source code is typically created as a collaborative effort in which programmers improve upon the code and share the changes within the community. Open source sprouted in the technological community as a response to proprietary software owned by corporations."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
And you'll probably find the code at the projects web-page (usually linking to something like github/sourceforge)
Here, for example, is the VLC Media Player source code:
- Click on a video you want to watch/download
- Download the version of the vlive video that you want to watch
- Download the subtitles for you want (usually .SRT file)
- Open the video file with a video player that also allows you to associate a .SRT/.VTT file with the video (ex. VLC)
- Watch the video
The free VideoLAN audio player includes an audio effects tool called a compressor, which makes loud sounds softer and soft sounds louder.
Here’s an old Reddit thread with suggested compression settings for VideoLAN:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/vdrlq/lpt_watching_a_movie_and_the_dialogue_is_too/
I am a Linux and Windows user, but ffmpeg, which is available for Macs can convert formats.
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/MPEG-4
edit: Vlc, which is a good video reader, that can use almost any format and works with multi channel videos, is available for all oses, including mac https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
VLC Media Player has the default UI using Qt5.
But you won't see all the Qt5Base, Qt5Gui, Qt5Widgets, Qt5... dlls, all you have is "c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\gui\libqt_plugin.dll" which is 16MB in size.
And I don't think VLC is using a commercial license of Qt.
Telegram Desktop only ships only one executable.
But both applications are GPL licensed...
Step 1 Install the 32bit version of VLC.
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
Step 2 Download ibaacs.dll
http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/files/win32/libaacs.dll
Step 3 Download KEYDB.cfg
http://www.labdv.com/aacs/KEYDB.cfg
Step 4 Copy libaacs.dll to the folder which you installed VLC.
C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\
Step 5 Copy KEYDB.cfg to this directory.
%APPDATA%/aacs/ (To get to this folder you can hit Windows key + r and paste it. Then hit enter. If that fails try %APPDATA% and create the folder aacs.
Step 6 ????
Step 7 Profit.
If you want your player to be really lightweight but full-featured then foobar2000 or Boom (Boom is a "simplified" version of foobar2000).
In a pinch I can do with VLC.
Actually, if you want to be a technical fuckwat.
It's VLC media player.
Here is their site.
Which also proves how wrong you are.
You aren't even technically right, Fucko.
LPT: If you're gonna try and be smart, fact check first.
Hi
​
Try to play the video using VLC https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (Open Source and Free)
That will usually play any video no matter what the codecs are
I looked into this and I'm pretty sure it's the same guy. He did a podcast interview as Stone Toss starting about an hour in here, and he had a debate with Sargon as Redpanels titled "Debating Classical Liberalism and Anarchocapitalism With Redpanels" (deleted from youtube but I googled and found it here as a .webm file, to download it scroll to the bottom and click the last of the four 'Debating Classical Liberalism and Anarchocapita..' links...the free VLC program can open .webm files). The recording conditions are different so his voice sounds a little more tinny in one but it's pretty close, and other than the tone, the way he talks sounds exactly the same to me.
You can use VLC player to play the video and either drag the .ass file into the video once it's played, or you can rename the .ass file to the exact same filename of the video and put it in the same folder.
If the video name is something like Fresh50.mp4, then name the .ass file to Fresh50.ass.
No you don't. Just use Livestreamer. Which makes dangerous software like Flash obsolete. With the
--player-passthrough hls
option and a media player like mpv or VLC you can even seek in VODs. Also, this setup allows me to use hardware video decoding on Linux for those streams. Otherwise, if your browser already supports HLS, you can use the beta player of Twitch.
There is an relative easy fix for this. Download VideoLan Client (VLC), open the video with vlc then go to Tools - Effects and Filters - Video Effects - Geometry - Click Transform and select the rotation you want from the dropdown menu (rotate by 90, 180, 270, flip).
VLC Player will play webm files, and just about everything else. It should play one file after another if you open them all at once. Name them something logical like [file_name]_1.webm, [file_name]_2.webm, and so on so that your computer will alphabetize them and they should play in the proper order.
Hey there,
The free option: If you use VLC to play a music or video file, it can boost audio via it's interface up to 200%. Or if you want to take the trouble to increase a very quiet music/video file, you can boost it up to 800% via the command line - see the ticked answer here.
For a list of paid apps that will boost audio on Macs, someone has done all the research here.
1) as for which video player, Definitely go VLC whenever possible. And on Mac it's possible.
2) Adjusting to an entirely new ecosystem is tough, don't beat yourself up over it. You're not stupid, this system just operated in a way you're not used to.
3) You can install windows OS on a macbook. Worst cast, just do that. It's different depending on if you have an intel macbook or an M1 macbook, but you can do it if getting used to MacOS is just more of a pain than it's worth.
If you have VLC player in your 'Watch Now' playback option list use their Chromecast option (Playback>Renderer>Chromecast)... just to see if it works? https://i.imgur.com/VfJaFWM.jpg
If you haven't got VLC 3.0 - download it from: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html.
Does your Samsung TV (DLNA) show up in the 'Watch Now" ... just curious?
Did it work at any time?
Edit:
Try the latest dev build ( it has some improvements).https://ci.popcorntime.sh/view/All/job/Popcorn-Time-Desktop/279/
Make sure you delete the old Popcorn-Time support folders from AppData\Local\ ... for a clean install.
Right click on the link and choose "Copy Link Location".
Open VLC, Select "Media" then "Open Network Stream" then paste the location into the URL box and click "Play"
Well, since it's open source, you can view the code for yourself to find out if they're collecting your data. (Spoiler alert: they aren't)
Believe it or not, there are still some philanthropists left in the world. :)
That somebody being VideoLAN themselves.....
Who are distributing from their proprietary platform that tries to limit freedom, known as their website.....
You need a media player, something like VLC, which includes the necessary codecs to play your DVD. It is available for Ubuntu and should work under Lubuntu as well.
What the hell is all this haha? Use VLC to carry out conversions. This is a guide on how to do it.
Hola, desinstalar Popcorn Time y encontrar la carpeta %localappdata%\Popcorn-Time y eliminarla, luego descarga e instalar la <em>última versión</em>. Si el problema continúa descarga <em>VLC media player</em> y utilizarlo para reproducir vídeo de Popcorn Time. (Aparecerá junto al botón <em>watch now</em> una vez que lo instale)
Try using the Free Video player VLC. Use the Convert/Save option to convert MTS file to MP4 format
Download/extract/convert audio from YouTube video as mp3. 4K Video Downloader will do that: https://www.4kdownload.com/downloads
OR
Convert MP4 video to MP3 with VLC Media Player: https://www.videolan.org/
- VLC: Media --> Convert/save --> + ADD (choose file) --> Convert/Save --> Profile: Choose Audio - MP3 --> Browse Destination location/file --> Start
Once you have MP3:
Download and install Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/
- Click/Drag MP3 to Audacity or from menu: File --> Open file in Audacity
- Ctrl-A
- Effect --> Change Speed --> Speed Multiplier: 1.25 or 1.5 or 2 (whatever speed you want) --> OK button
- File --> Export --> Export as MP3
Sigh. I kinda gave up on it and taught myself to use ffmpeg on the command line. Which is on the far other end of the usability scale, but is at least capable of doing pretty much everything when it comes to transcoding, muxing, demuxing and then some. But I do miss my QT Pro 7.
VLC plays a lot of formats, but I never liked its interface, and it's not really designed for doing pretty much anything with media besides linear playback.
Switch (commercial) comes closest to the feel of QT Pro, but is just a bare-bones player/inspector in the base version, and unreasonably expensive in the more advanced ones.
avidemux comes closest to the kind of package QT Pro offered in terms of functionality, but has a terrible UI. And I do mean terrible.
Watching this post, maybe someone will know something that comes closer.
Which part of it don't you understand?
Apparently there is a bug in the version that you have currently installed. Normally the upgrade procedure would automatically start the newly downloaded installer. The bug prevents that, and you have to launch it manually.
You can also read the message directly from the horse's mouth.
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
https://obsproject.com/wiki/GPU-overload-issues
Also, this is not a "weird case", but as there is no information that can actually be used to identify a possible cause, who knows?
Bulk download the videos using a tool like the 'DownThemAll' plugin for Chrome, then run them in VLC.
If you are using Windows Movies's & Tv you might experience that issue. VLC is a free open source alternative that vastly outperforms Movies & Tv in format support and playback performance: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Yes, but you may need software to actually play them. There is a basic DVD player "Windows DVD Player" you can buy in the windows store. Or you can use a free player like "VLC Media Player" https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
...I'm sorry but this is nonsense.
I had a load of mp3s that I transferred over to my Windows phone, and I used VLC to play them.
Good post, but I would also like to point out that if you buy the Rebellion DVD rather than the blu-ray, you can use VLC Media player (a free program, available here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) to play pretty much any region DVD, as long as your computer has a DVD drive.
I think there is also a program that works similarly for Blu-ray discs, but I'm not very familiar with blu-rays and I think having a blu-ray player for your computer is somewhat uncommon.
Bundle one or more versions of VLC - the current and older versions can be found here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
The current version supports macOS 10.7.5 and later, so it will probably work on almost any mac.
There is also IINA (https://iina.io/) which is listed as supporting 10.11 and later.
Is it a video file you have on your hardrive? VLC has a pretty simple record function you can use.
I guess another solution is recording your screen via display capture in OBS while muting your mic and making sure random notifications and system sounds don't come in over the desktop audio channel. This is probably overkill, but since I don't use apple products I'm not really knowledgeable about what's good and what isn't.
Suppose I should include links and not take for granted people know what VLC and OBS are. They're both open-source and available for mac computers.
Nothing I know of. During hurricane season, I've used vlc with the links provided by synology to see all my cameras. Go to SS, and get the link and set it for the desired duration (or forever) then type that into vlc. Worked great for me.
install VLC player on your computer, then restart PT
Then instead of clicking the "Watch Now" button as usual, first click the right side (on icon) of the "Watch now" button, and select VLC
Then click the "watch now" button
build 1803 ?? O_o
Never mind! , the issue happen because PT for windows can't decode Xvid videos... that's why people recommend to install and play in VLC (will require to restart PT to detect VLC).
Other series works because there aren't encoded with Xvid but another format.
I looked into this and I'm pretty sure it's the same guy. He did a podcast interview as Stone Toss starting about an hour in here, and he had a debate with Sargon as Redpanels titled "Debating Classical Liberalism and Anarchocapitalism With Redpanels" (deleted from youtube but I googled and found it here as a .webm file, to download it scroll to the bottom and click the last of the four 'Debating Classical Liberalism and Anarchocapita..' links...the free VLC program can open .webm files). The recording conditions are different so his voice sounds a little more tinny in one but it's pretty close, and other than the tone, the way he talks sounds exactly the same to me.
EDIT: Here is a direct download link. .mov files can be played with VLC
https://dejoblue.com/addons/WoW_Addons_New_Author_Tips_Info_and_Sources.zip
I uploaded this new version with louder/clearer vocal audio to YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O-z1kRAbDw
But YouTube's audio compression is still amplifying the small amount of noise in the video. I ran this through Logic Pro with occasional barely audible noise but YouTube amplifies everything and squishes it. Two ceiling fans, and a box fan in the other rooms is the noise, AC is turned off. Sorry, can't do much else in late July.
Hope it is clearer. :)
Cheers!
There is a 64bit version, there is a version for basically every platform. Just Click the side arrow, and choose which windows version you want to install.
Question only has the 'bare bones' ... a bit more detail is always better (esp with cast issues)?
Do you mean there's no cast-icon present ... or you don't know where to look?
Which OS?
Which Chromecast (internal or device)?
Powered by usb or mains?
Try rebooting PT (on-off) a few times (sometimes 'Discovery' is a bit "tardy")
You've re-booted all your network devices (incl. router)?
Are you using a VPN?
Is yours a smart TV (does DLNA icon show in PT)?
Can you see the CC icon in https://www.sodaplayer.com (copy/paste a magnet link from PT to activate).
If you accept the premise "Chromecast should work in PT" [sic] then all you have to do is find the culprit in your set-up? However, it can be a difficult (or seemingly impossible) task sometimes. Local OS/Wifi/Network/Router setting, rules, security and third party interactions (firewalls, antivirus) can all add to the deadlock .... really difficult to emulate!
Try this build: https://ci.popcorntime.sh/view/All/job/Popcorn-Time-Desktop/279/ (delete all the old stuff!) See if it shifts something?
Edit:
Does Chomecast show up in VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) playback > renderer > Chromecast ... if so you could playback through VLC (at a pinch)?
It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!
Here is link number 1 - Previous text "VLC"

Use the VLC plugin, you will need to make sure you download the correct version though.
If you are using 64bit OBS you need 64bit VLC, and for the playlist feature to work you need to download a older version of VLC with a version number under 3.
- Go here https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.en-GB.html
- Click older versions in FTP archive
- Go to 2.2.8
- Click win64 if using 64bit OBS (check OBS title bar)
- Download and install vlc-2.2.8-win64.exe
When you have installed the correct version you can add a VLC video source like any other source.
I always check the release notes before updating Vox because the dev is clearly thrashing around looking for a working monetization strategy and I expected something like this to happen eventually. Taking away existing features is a dirty, dirty move. I already paid for the radio feature because I wanted to support the dev but have no interest in the subscription online storage plan.
I've made zipped copies of vox.app and simply don't plan to update it. If I do update it accidentally I can always unzip the backup.
In the meantime I suggest VLC as a similar lightweight player. Only downside is it doesn't have Vox's Winamp-like behaviour in loading every file in a directory (i.e., an album) when you open one of them by double clicking. And of course it doesn't support audio units. But then... neither does Vox, without a subscription now.
If you don't have the appropriate software, VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.en-GB.html) is free and works with most file types. The latest version lets you advance one frame with the "e" key, play/pause = space and skip 1 second with "shift+left/right". Unfortunately, it doesn't let you go back one frame for unclear reasons.
Watch this gif in a frame-by-frame video player, and you'll see that nothing in the gif actually lands except for the little palm tap in the beginning.
Download the file, use a video player such as vlc or mpv where you can jump frame-by-frame with a keypress, and you'll see what I mean. This will help you guys for all future videos/gifs posted here:
VLC download link -> https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

What's the issue you're having with mkv if you don't mind my asking?
There are lots of different ways to play it: VLC (Linux, Mac, Windows) - https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html Media Player Classic (Windows) - https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/
If you're stuck with using iTunes, then you need to convert it with handbrake (Linux, Mac, Windows) - https://handbrake.fr/
The video probably wasn't corrupted completely. If you played it on VLC I bet you it would still work. If you still have the video file, try dragging it into VLC and I bet you it will play.
I am not sure, but a quick google search should be able to help you. Its essentially this:
- Download VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
- When the application is open, go File > Open Network Stream
- Copy/Paste the NFL stream link into the text box
VLC does everything. I wouldn't say it's very heavy on system resources either, if you're looking for something lighter then thank I'd be wondering what else you're doing on your system while listening to music :)
edit
I'm procrastinating from study so I made you one from scratch.
edit edit
Okay, so because mine uses the windows media player framework, it is still a heavier tool then vlc. go figure...
- Use VLC
- Go to Media > Open Network Stream...
- Paste the video link under that address bar, then click on the Play button.
- Give it a sec or two and VLC will play the video.
- Pause the video.
- Tools > Media Information.
- Copy the entire link at the very bottom (Location:).
- Paste the link on your browser.
- It should show you the raw video file hosted from youtube itself.
- Right click on the video and 'Save video as...'
- This will basically give you the raw file or you could rename it to .mp4
You can use VLC to watch Youtube streams, just paste the whole Youtube URL in the "open media location" spot. VLC can be used to save streams. You can also use VLC Command Line to save the stream.
(1) use this website to download the video from youtube in 1080p.
(2) Open the video in VLC and forward to the scene you want to screenshot
(3) Take a snapshot of the scene using VLC. In windows press Shift+s, and in Mac OS press Command+Alt+s
Hope it helps.
It's the swiss army knife of video players. It might be overkill in a lot of cases, but, if nothing else, it's a nice fallback when QuickTime won't play something or spends a long time converting an AVI in order to play it.
Not to mention that the current QuickTime player is a quite stripped down version of the older QuickTime Player 7.
I guess that the Sampler addon for the VLC player should do the trick. If you look at one screenshot it seems to offer a 'random position' for the sample, which should suit your needs.
//EDIT Alright, I just checked the addon and fortunately it does exactly what you want - the screenshot is pretty self-explanatory and it's kinda easy to set up.
I think it stands for VideoLan Client. It is a media player. Download it here.
Here is a guide for how to set it up to stream GameCenter Live for free.
Download VLC Media Player if you don't have it already.
- Open VLC
- click Media ---> Open Network Stream
- Paste the stream link in the box
- Check the "Show more options" box
- Paste this in the "Edit Options" box at the bottom:
http-user-agent=iTunes-AppleTV/4.1 - Press play
If memory serves that is correct, you can't use quicktime to play mp4's. Apple tries to to shove their own format down your throat. Try downloading a different player like VLC: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
The video file sure sounds like it's been damaged in some way. It's unlikely to be Vegas that did it - it doesn't write anything to video files as it works with them. There's a few things you can try though.
If you don't have it already, get hold of VLC Player. VLC can play many files that are damaged. So try playing the file in there. VLC can also try to repair files that don't work. Method 2 and Method 1 (in that order) from this guide will talk you through it.
There are a lot of utilities out there that claim they can fix video. Most of them are junk. Even the ones that do work will not be able to rescue a completely destroyed file. So have a go with VLC and see if you get on okay.
If you aren't able to fix the file, can you remove it from the project? You can at least drag the file out of the folder Vegas is expecting it to be in. Vegas will start the project and complain it can't find the file. Tell it to ignore missing files and leave them offline. The project should load just fine.
Some people have had luck with creating a new project and copying and pasting the old one into it. I've never tried that myself though.
As for what caused this in the first place, it's very difficult to say.
Good to hear you got it working! :)
> I also have mutagen-1.45.1 as both a folder, which itself contains five folders, and as its original .tar.gz file. There's no .exe for this one, but there're plenty of other little files, including a .py, and many others that don't have any extensions.
You don't need mutagen on Windows. It's already built in to yt-dlp.exe.
In fact all the needed Python stuff is built in (that's why the Windows .exe is so much bigger than the Unix one).
> Should I install Python?
Not needed for yt-dlp to work; see above.
(unless you want to build yt-dlp yourself of course, which is what I do when there are interesting changes in the source code, that I want before the next release version comes out)
> Earlier today, I installed the K-Lite_Codec_Pack_Mega. > > That won't help with anything yt-dlp related, will it?
No, that's only for being able to play all sorts of media files.
But if you play them with e.g. VLC, even that codec pack is not needed, because VLC has the codecs built in.
Well more convenience.
sudo apt install vlc
Much faster then going to their site. The GUI store is faster to open up, then going to their site.
I prefer GUI APT frontend package manager call synaptic. I like it better then the store.
Plus going to any site. You have to decide which package you suppose to download and install. If your don't know or confuse about it. Then it's not as convenience as the store.
Are you sure you are not just recording multiple audio tracks and whatever is the first track is what you hear when you play back the recording?
See if the player you use (I recommend VLC) has an option to change the audio track during playback to check if this is the case.
Also have a look at this, it should explain what I mean and also offer a solution: https://imgur.com/a/8FQEpmu (read the words below the last picture)
It's a known downgrade, they fixed it in this commit https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/141e07e12fd73ebd957d3d1227aa9bdbe58e3ef3, so it should be back to normal in next update. You can Switch to Direct3D9 in preferences> Video>output, stay on older version https://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/3.0.12.html or download the newest experimental build(it doesn't support auto updates) https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-win64
MP4 is a video format. It might require to download a another video player than the default Windows player - try VLC.
If you send the .ppsx it requires people to have PowerPoint installed to open it. It will require that the people opening it also starts it. F5 starts the presentation. You might be able to get around the PowerPoint installed requirement by hosting it online in e.g. OneDrive or a Corporate SharePoint.
I'm not expert in PowerPoint.
Your options are: Switching to Direct3D9 in preferences> Video>output, stay on older version https://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/3.0.12.html or download the newest experimental build(it doesn't support auto update) https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-win64
Is it really not recording or is the media player simply just playing back the first audio track?
You can check this if you change the track in your media player (I recommend VLC).
The additional audio tracks should also show up when you import the video file into your video editor, however not all video editors support that.
And/Or follow this guide: https://imgur.com/a/8FQEpmu (read the words at the end).
Windows Media Player is really not the best for testing video files coming from a completely different device. You could have a hard drive issue, but you could also have a Codec issue.
Unplug the drive, restart the computer, set your explorer view to List and hide the preview pane so it does not try to load any information regarding the files. Install VLC: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Copy a few of the videos over to your laptop and then try playing them with VLC and see if the results are better. If they are, try playing some of the other videos directly on the external drive and see how that goes. If you still face the same problem, you may have had some corruption during the file copy process.
Consider downloading and installing a different Media Player to see if your experience improves. VLC Media Player is a very popular and free choice.
Official download of VLC media player, the best Open Source player - VideoLAN
The free media player VLC (Video Lan Player) allows you to place subtitles in the player using Menu>Subtitle>Add Subtitle File but you must search the internet for a subtitle file for the movie you want and in your language. There are larg-ish sites dedicated to subtitles so you will find titles for most popular movies and even some very obscure ones. VLC has many other great features.
The gopro 9 can record in hevc mode only and if you have an older laptop, it might not be possible to play the videos on it. It needs a dedicated chip or a lot of computing power from the laptop. There is a setting on the gopro itself to record in older H.264 codec. https://community.gopro.com/t5/en/HEVC-Explained/ta-p/394284
1) try vlc player. does not need any codecs. https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
2) If that does not work, try uploading the clip on youtube to see if the file is not corrupted.
3) a lot of phones now have those dedicated chips to play the videos, so you can try to play it on the phone.
Not sure what revo uninstaller does exactly but google says
> Revo Uninstaller is an uninstaller for Microsoft Windows. It uninstalls programs and additionally removes any files and Windows registry entries left behind by the program's uninstaller or by the Windows uninstall function
so i assume it fully removed it meaning you'll most likely need to transplant the files from a fresh win10 install to get it back. Or you could use vlc.
If you watch it on the google doc the audio does get funky when you get to live action ROTS so I recommend downloading the movie and watching it on VLC player
