I'm downloading the files straight from the tindeck streaming URL, since the browser needs to be able to get the file somehow and it's not really obfuscated in their html. It seems to work fine for now - I tested on one of yours that didn't allow downloading and it's worked OK. Normally I wouldn't do that since it's a bit naughty and it's likely to get someone at the site mad.... but they're shutting down and deleting all their poo poo, so gently caress 'em. What are they going to do to me. Block my IPs from their non-existent site? --- I also did a quick test and it was easier to implement than I thought, so I've enabled uploading mp3s through lpix. See here as an example: http://lpix.org/2541457/Maid%20with%20the%20Flaxen%20Hair.mp3 I just enabled it for all registered accounts. If you need to have your upload limit bumped above 2MB for this then let me know, I don't mind doing so on a case-by-case basis, but some people eat enough disk space just with images so I don't want it to get excessive. Don't make me regret this. If it starts gobbling up disk space, I'll remove it.

Maybe when the same music shows up multiple times in a game? The link for Madain Sari must have been posted half a dozen times in the current FF9 Lp. Also, thank you for taking all this effort.

I checked the files in my soundtrack folder for one of the games I'm doing, and several of them are above 2 MB, going up to about 10 MB. And those are just chiptunes. I don't know how much file space other musical formats would take up.

This would be perfect for the few unused voice clips I posted thoughout Vesperia, but for some reason it claims that most of the files are "not an image or MP3 file". What is it detecting? Example file that doesn't work: http://tindeck.com/listen/rpxnw e: Is it because they don't have ID3 tags? e2: Yeah that seems to be it. Admiral H.

Yeah I don't think that's going to work well. I don't think I could upload a single one of my upcoming songs outside of a 30-second or so fanfare and come in under 2 MB.

Fixed the thing with mp3s sans ID3 tags. Apparently the filetype identification returns drastically different results and I guess all my test mp3s had ID3 tags. Like I said, if you need more than 2MB then PM or email me and I can bump it up to 10MB or so. I just don't want to do that across the board because then someone will start uploading 1920x1080 pngs of their call of duty roleplaying SSLP. If that doesn't suit, then fine, but it doesn't hurt to have options.

It looks like Tindeck fixed its issues, so it's usable for a bit longer. But I really doubt that's the last time it'll get screwed up. Site might be on its death throes.

baldurk, did you think through the copyright implications if you let people just upload mp3's to your site? If you start getting spammed with DMCA notices, disk space might be the least of your worries.

I've not had any notices from the archive, lpix and baldurdash before so I'll just play it by ear. If I get a notice, I can just take down the file and disable audio uploads again easily enough. I've got all the tindeck files downloaded now. If it's not immediately dying I'll just leave them around, if/when it goes pop I can worry about putting those files up on the archive and replacing links.

So I redid my VR intro segment by taking out the facecam and doing the microphone in Audacity with background noise reduction rather than just throwing it in the base video like a scrub. It seems okay now, but I'd like a double check before I throw up a VR thread. There's a few small things I already edited out that aren't in this video, but I'm mostly looking for if the audio sounds good and if the camera is too shakey since I was talking with my hands more than I thought (Have to avoid doing that in the future) I know that the video is letterboxed, I tried to edit it out but the software I use (Windows Movie Maker) just doesn't allow me to, plus a square video would still be letterboxed on Youtube. It's kind of a crapshoot whether the games record correctly or not for all this VR stuff, I may need to figure out a change in the future. Also, E. Didn't hear anything back so I'll assume it is passable, thread is live here. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Aug 20, 2016 |

Double posting to show difference between questions, do people usually keep their raws for a good amount of time or just the processed videos? I would love to keep everything I record but at 100-odd gigs of FRAPS raws for an hour of game play that is quickly overwhelming even my terabyte external drives.

There's a plugin for AviSynth that'll allow you to use MP4. Get that, record with OBS and never look back.

I keep my raws for a couple days after the final videos go up. If no one says anything or complains, I delete em and back up the final video in case I need to reupload or something.

It depends. For smaller projects or projects recorded with H264 via either a capture card or shadowplay, I keep the raws until I'm done. For a Lagarith project, I'll keep the raws as long as I can before dumping them.

Thanks for the responses, I see I'm not the only hoarder. Since I am doing multiple things now I might just save the raws for a few episodes and rotate them out afterwards.

I deleted the raws for my first 20-some episodes due to space restrictions, but then I decided to use Amazon Glacier. Now when I'm done with an episode I 7zip the whole premiere project, assets, and raws (which is usually a pretty staggeringly good compression ratio) and send it to a glacier vault after a couple days. Glacier is almost perfect for this because it costs effectively nothing to upload (I mean I uploaded perhaps a terabyte one month and paid like a buck fifty), and nothing per month in storage. The caveat is it costs a bit more to retrieve, but it's not ridiculous or anything, we're still talking cents or fractions of cents per gigabyte. It's perfect for stashing away raws you don't intend to grab except on very rare special occasions. E: Obviously don't do this if your internet has upload bandwidth caps.

I don't have the space to keep the raw's on hand for more than 3 updates back. I hold onto those until the next update, when I'm sure (read: I hope) that there are no problems with my uploaded and encoded videos, then I delete anything older than 3 updates back. Particularly large updates can reduce me to holding only one update back.

I delete most things almost immediately. Sometimes my files don't even make it to editing or online before getting deleted. As a result, there have been a number of LPS that I've done that have never been viewed by another person. So it goes.

Be like me and do something at the end of all your LP's that requires the source footage from every episode. Then you have a reason to not get rid of them besides just in case anything goes wrong!

I've decided to do something that seems a little more on my level than the 5-game subtitled VLP I had originally planned for my first non-casual thread LP,... and it will still involve recording somewhere in the ballpark of 7-10 hours of footage, frankensteining it all together into semi-coherent episodes, finding a goon to drag through said episodes with me, and being completely unable to delete any of the raw footage just in case I need it for any future uploads. There goes all the free space on one of my external drives.

I typically delete my raws when I begin the recording session for the next update. So the amount of time my raws survives varies between a couple of days and ... well.. 3 months.  By the time I'm doing the next update I'll just assume there are no complaints. Even if there were, I'd possibly be too lazy to fix it, unless it was some serious fault.

Fair warning. Don't get shibbotech. That guy dragged me into the Valhalla LP and I haven't forgiven him since.  All jokes aside if you haven't already, then I'd suggest posting in the Co-commentation Station thread.

Okay some quick questions about a thing I am gonna do, but I am considering whether to make a thread for it in here. 1) I recently started (as in, within the last 24 hours) playing and streaming Flower, Sun and Rain. I played about 10 minutes of it when I realised it would be a cool game to stream, and then I streamed about 2 hours of it, which is barely anything when I realised this would probably be an even better LP rather than just a stream. My understanding is that my progress is almost nothing so far into the game, I basically just finished the tutorial. I intend to play this game with people watching me figure out the puzzles, and maybe even with us working together to solve them if they prove to challenging for my dumb broken brain. The last LP from this game was from 2009, which was a SSLP, and it largely showed the game as is, just playing through it and explaining the solution to each puzzle. I want to do something different - I want to show viewers the process of coming to the solution for those puzzles. If I turn those 2 hours into 2 videos, would I be allowed to make a thread and start from that point? Or does that break the rule of "make the LP for the thread, not the thread for the LP" thing? It doesn't seem like a YT dump to me, and I intend to do this as a community thing, and this place has a community which might be interested in group playing a puzzle game. Is that cool with you guys? 2) Obviously if I am live solving it with people, there is the question of how those people are helping me. I intend to stream the game live with people in a chatroom with me, and then upload the archives. So, it is a half live LP - the episodes are recorded in a live studio environment, and archived in a thread. Is that allowed? e; I am going to be going for game completion in it too, so all of the puzzles. This will mean if I accidentally miss something when live, I will be uploading additional short episodes showing off what I missed.

They're pretty obvious when they happen. Lots of posters have turned streams into proper LPs here because, as you say, it's done as a community thing. Go for it. 2) Also fine. I've been part of live streams that were later posted in threads. You're totally fine. Go for it!

My entire last finished "LP" was streamed and I didn't actually play the game either we just talked over the AI playing. And while it wasn't streamed, I did something similar to what you intend with my last actual LP, where I had several episodes up already before the thread on SA started (there was one elsewhere, in a place without the then still active 3 month rule) So you should be fine. As long as you're not dumping a completed LP in a thread it's all right. Goons have largely loosened up when it comes to LPs. As long as it's not offensively bad people wont boo you out of the place.
