Engagement bait.
Probably because it’s annoying and takes a decent amount of work for a minor improvement
And yeah, it doesn’t need to be censored here but also it really doesn’t ruin it that much
I’m actually amazed by how the Pornhub and Xvideos players, after all this time, are still better than the Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok players, like it’s not even comparable. The way people can just accept whatever slop any corporate will feed them is just insane to me…
maybe I’m missing out because I don’t watch content on pornhub, but how good does a video player need to be? it’s a video player, seems like a solved problem to me.
Iirc PH was first with the thumbnail pop up when hovering over the timeline. They also had the “waveform” thing of where users watched the most. Sure a video player is just a video player. But all the extra features like changing quality, playback speed, buffering tech, subtitles, and so much more really add up to a better experience.
Decent buffering, decent scrubbing with thumbnail preview, double tap to skip 10 sec forward or back, proper fullscreen on desktop, and orientation on mobile. That’s just to cite the very least. Imagine how good the YouTube player is, and how smoothly it works 90% of the time. Pornhub works that smoothly 100% of the time, with 90% of the features.
TikTok doesn’t even let you scrub, at all.
I’m a seeker. When I’m on mobile and I double tap and instead of going back a few seconds it pauses and unpauses, or changes from full screen or something, or worst of all “likes” the video, I have literally left websites before and been like “I’ll find this somewhere else”. I cannot stand having to wing it with a tiny scrub bar under my thumb.
A button that skips back is fine, but often this comes without a skip forward which is sometimes annoying.
When my phone is in portrait for browsing, and then I hit full-screen on a landscape video, I expect it to rotate for me, rather than showing the video the same size it already was but with huge black bars above and below. Some sites do it, it’s not technically impossible, figure it out.
And then never use TikTok 😛
I mean, I agree that in an ideal world, people would just not use TikTok, and let it die. But they use it, because it hijacks their dopamine response, it uses pavlovian and skinnerian conditioning to trap people into cycles of behavioral control, and they don’t know or care enough to stop using it. It’s literally the same thing a drug like weed does to your dopamine receptors.
And you could say “just don’t use it yourself”, the problem is this mass compliance leaks onto every other platform. Stories/shorts were a Snapchat issue, now they’re an internet issue. Everyone is getting brainwashed, and as a result, we get shit software spilling over from their shit platforms.
Maybe I got a little too doomer with this one, but how could I not, when taking about modern day social media…
Sure, maybe in the same way that the Ford Model T-500 is a solution to the problem of automobiles.
Pornhub is a car from the 201Xs. And most other media players are varyingly from 1960 and 2025, i.e. out-of-date and over-engineered.
It needs to work
- no ads or sponsor crap (sponsor only if sponsor is <5s and only at the start of vid)
- buffering is efficient and quick
- subtitles available in widescreen, small etc
- can change volume and resolution
- can be judged by community with a non-karma system
- little to no algorithm or AI slop
- can custom select videos (by date, popularity, tags, or whatever)
- peer to peer, decentralised and FOSS
- privacy friendly
- can download, usable offline
- none of that copyright bullshit
In short, a no-nonsense normal video player without a profit motive.
pornhub is p2p?
I think he was answering the question “how good does a video player need to be?”, because many of those points don’t apply to pornhub, which also goes more into the site behind it than the player proper
tbh pornhub is p2p (porn to person)
For what it’s worth, PH is better than YT in most regards now, I feel.
Does anyone stream directly from ffmpeg? I have a 24/7 music stream with a static background image and playlist, running headless off a raspberry pi, and I’d love to see what other people have come up with to expand the idea
I did a few times just to test it out on peertube, i wrote a script to broadcast all videos in a given folder in random order. I would like to eventually have something going 24/7 but i havent gotten to setting that up yet
Thank god someone scratched out a letter in that mysterious word. Otherwise I may have seen something obscene. Now I have no idea what is meant to be written on that block 🤔
As someone from the UK, I’m glad they did that. So I can see the image without going through passport control.
Same here. I have to smuggle Brits across the border daily going through and from the internet highway and its tiring; sometimes they try to run out the car and I have to get them back in the box.
I take it you’re not a big fan of censorship, so can you kindly tell me what the word is? (I’ve heard something fun happens if a .ml user writes “porn”)
Pornhub? I don’t think .ml censors “porn” (I can see your comment just fine), just some slurs/offensive words afaik.
Edit: And I can see my own comment just fine.
Go figure, coulda sworn I saw another user have theirs corrected to removed, but I guess that must’ve been the app they were using
You wouldn’t see it if you’re not on .ml. The removed censoring is clientside so I’d see it using the .ml hosted web client.
Reminder FFMPEG can execute simple edits all on it’s own & has built-in automation
At first I read that as FFMPreg…
Glad to see ffmpeg is still going strong, I used it years ago to do some project 1999 EverQuest streaming on twitch running on a Manjaro dist install running EQ in wine.
FFmpeg doesn’t deserve to be such a tiny block. Nothing else comes close to matching its stability and simplicity. There’s a reason it’s practically part of the foundation for all media software out there.
Tiny block in the grand scheme of things.
This picture doesnt work if you replace the stick with the huge boulder.Maybe if you visualize it as the foundation of a building.
Then it makes sense.Absolutely - very powerful and capable, even just from the Linux command line.
what will you do? edit the meme template?
Removed by mod
What about just using GIMP?
Another thing you can find on the hub
It took me a second to realize you didn’t mean github.
I didn’t. But now that I see both answers work: I meant both
They didnt??
30 min
I’m on mobile and more importantly, too lazy to open it just for a meme.
This would have taken two minutes in Photoshop or even MSPaint.
But it didn’t produce a lot of carbon emissions like Gemini
Ew
But ffmpeg is a small binary (compared to the others there) and still performs well
Well eh, the binary seems to be about 130MB while the ffmpeg source repository is only 80MB (and the version with separate .so files (all part of the project as far as I can see) is even larger)
I like how this implies Twitter storage is encoded in YouTube videos which are really just hosted on PornHub.
Create a FUSE library to use that as backing storage for a filesystem, and you can make use of the infrastructure for free cloud storage. Maybe
twityouhubfs.
Why don’t they change the licence of FFMpeg to GPL so that everything uses it is open source? It’d be a win-win.
deleted by creator
Yup. Just imagine them changing it the other way on a whim.
Probably big tech companies would fork it from an older version.
Then all these companies just wouldn’t use it and would use something worse instead. Everything will be inferior and ffmpeg becomes less prominent and loses out on contributors and donations. It’s a lose-lose.
Reality is complicated, GPL is awesome for a lot of things but in some cases it can hinder adoption.
Dammit
youtube and facebook runs on pornhub. well said
Well, video streaming was AFAIK pioneered by porn sites, though not necessarily pornhub, but it could be seen as a representative
oh yeah, the early html5 video days
Pretty sure YT started off using FlashPlayer
Technically at least YouTube shorts and other short video formats run on people who try to grab attention to market their onlyfans.
Can we PLEASE make ffmpeg use GPL for everything?
Actually, can we do that for just all open source software. I’m getting kinda tired of large multinationals using open source for free to make billions over billions and then give back a dollar or so for each of those…
Maybe there are exceptions here and there but most companies give back shit
Or make a license that companies making money from the software have to contribute.
You mean one like the GPL?
That’s cute. As if commercial entities don’t contribute to foss 🤣
I bet you there is at least 3M worth of investment from folks bring paid in this thread.
Moat don’t, and those that do still contribute only pennies to the dollars they’re making
They… Usually don’t.
Not a single company I’ve worked for actually makes FOSS contributions to the dependencies they rely upon.
They usually don’t but some do. I’m only cherry picking this because I don’t know much about Big Tech and FOSS. Bootstrap was developed in Twitter, React is maintained by Facebook/Meta, AngularJS was maintained by Google in the past but it’s now discontinued. Google also has Summer of Code. I’m not a Big Tech shill but the larger ones do make some contributions.
Yeah, they do, but it’s still pennies to the dollar, and usually they only do because it benefits them to do so.
Companies using open source must be forced to contribute back fairly
You’re talking about absolutely massive companies who represent their own shared interests. And just by volume, they will produce an open source projects through engineering culture variation within a company itself.
And represent only a fractional part of the tech workforce and companies that don’t contribute back to open source.
Then you work for shitty little companies. These companies put in millions a year.
Yes, some do, but it isn’t an incredibly small number given the quantity of companies that rely on open source technology.

I’ve read many times that Linux wouldn’t be where it is today without the commercial funding and code contributions it receives.

Jackass. It’s not hard to even attempt to look into this shit. But this place is only for circlejerks 🤦♂️
I mean when you’re only here to call people names like a petulant child. Don’t expect good conversation.
I’d rather a place be filled with circle jerkers than assholes.
I’d rather not either, which is kind of why I came to Lemmy instead of being on Reddit. Perhaps you have found yourself lost?
But they don’t though, they take more & give less (if not outright steal)
No, they don’t. And I didn’t know where you guys came up with this. You honestly think any real development to shit like k8s, Kafka, and most of Apache foundation software is just being tinkered with people working for free?
Sure there are areas where there is more “free” support. But the shit that runs servers and the web, highly highly corporate supported. Nothing about it is free.
& then they steal & engage in rugpull & never contribute.
👌👍
