I’m using windscribe VPN from Italy and it works without issues right now

Uhm this could be a good workaround, I’ll look into it, thanks! It would solve the movies problem, but not any other screen sharing problem

Thank you!

I already have a jellyfin instance, but syncplay didn’t works very reliably for me, some users experienced freezing, jumps and other problems

Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

It would be just me sharing to everybody else on the internet (no more than 6 people)

Jitsi meet works great, the only problem is being able to share only “a portion” of what it currently does

I think the problem is not something related to jitsi, meet, discord or matrix, but rather to the OS screensharing capabilities

Is this real or just a meme?

Other answer seems to suggest that the problem is that the same podcast can be available, depending on where and who is listening to it, with different length due to different ads injected into. Here’s my probably stupid and completely ignorant suggestion: instead of using timestamps for both begin and end of the ads segment, you could use a timestamp for the beginning, and an hash of the first part of “non-ads” segment. I’ll try to explain better:

|----------------xxxxx--------------------|
                ^     |___|

The xxx is the ads segment, the ^ is the timestamp of the beginning of the ads, the |___| is a small duration segment (for example, 0.5 seconds) right after the ads segment. The data of that segment is hashed and used as “end ads segment indicator”.

On the other device, with a different duration of the ads, you should start hashing it to find the corresponding segment.

Is this doable or did I just said a bunch of idiot things?

This… This is amazing! I can finally write an application switcher optimized for my touchscreen device! Thanks KDE devs!

The pacman effect

Wtf

I always see “this doesn’t work, why?” posts, it’s the first time I see a “this works, why?” post XD

Will this change something for italian pirates?

Holy words

Go to settings to activate KDE

uhm that’s strange, I just tried executing it on your link and it worked. have you waited at least 5 seconds after running the script?

Ugly bikes ftw!

hi, sorry for the late reply! I finally wrote this nodejs script:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

// This is where we'll put the code to get around the tests.



function findPlaylistUrl(networkUrls) {
  for (const url of networkUrls) {
    if (url.startsWith('https://vixcloud.co/playlist')) {
      return url;
    }
  }
  return ''; // Return an empty string if no matching URL is found
}

(async () => {
  // Check if URL argument is provided
  if (process.argv.length <= 2) {
    console.error('Usage: node get_network_urls.js <URL>');
    process.exit(1);
  }

  const url = process.argv[2];

  // Launch a headless browser
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: 'true' });
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Enable request interception
  await page.setRequestInterception(true);

  // Capture network requests
  const networkUrls = [];
  page.on('request', (request) => {
    networkUrls.push(request.url());
    request.continue();
  });

  // Navigate to the URL
  await page.goto(url);

  // Wait for a while to capture network requests (adjust as needed)
  await page.waitForTimeout(5000);

  // Print the captured network URLs
  console.log(findPlaylistUrl(networkUrls));
    
  // Close the browser
  await browser.close();
})();

the first argument passed to the script is the url of the webpage. The script uses the puppeteer module to “fake” a browser, in order to receive all the network calls and so on, and then will search through them for the m3u8 playlist. It is very specific and only works on this website, but it can be easily adapted for other websites as well

Oh shit, new fear unlocked

This is AWESOME! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!
