Because we all know pentium is never going to fix his habits of using a shit host I provide the following piece of javascript to proxy images via my server so they actually fucking show up for once. Should alleviate the issue of people wondering why pentium is worried when the only evidence of the death threat was in an image that doesn't load. [code]tags[i].src = tags[i].src.replace(/http:\/\/(.*?)\.photobucket\.com\/(.*)/g, 'https://subsonic.helifreak.club/sandyballs/$1/$2');[/code] Now Kiwi doesn't have to waste her time doing it manually.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;51977136]Techmoan is best.[/QUOTE] I really like how he doesn't admit to be the expert on everything and declares when he thinks he is out of his depth. He's like The Gadget Show except not absolutely awful.
Well the gadget show declared the pc dead by throwing a beige box off a balcony. Don't you love their 2002 format.
sounds like something rooster teeth would do
I keep forgetting Rooster Teeth still exists.
[QUOTE=Xanadu;51977412]I'm disappointed that I don't even vaguely resemble anybody here.[/QUOTE] You want to look like a fake pentium? [QUOTE=gman003-main;51976923]Well that was a waste of an hour. And reading this will be a waste of five minutes, unless you're really into hardware trivia. After watching some Youtube vid of a guy showing off how he modded almost all his old consoles with an SCART RGB output, all going to a single switcher that multiplexed it to two displays and a recording PC, I was thinking about how one might build a custom entertainment center with as many connections as possible integrated into the actual unit, to make it as neat and tidy as possible. So I just researched every home console from Nintendo, Sony, Sega and Microsoft, nailing down what video outputs they have, and what power connector and specs they need. Video is fairly straightforward - modern stuff has HDMI, and with effort everything can get S-Video or SCART (modding would only be required on the NES). If I were actually doing this (I've concluded it's way too much work, and also I can't afford hardware collecting), I'd probably do S-Video since SCART would require importing a lot of PAL versions of the consoles and finding a somewhat rarer display. But that would leave all the power bricks, which are the real mess. Would it be possible to build a PSU into the entertainment center, and then run a DC rail or two to power everything? Did many consoles end up using the same voltage by any chance? Could it even be one of the voltages from a standard PC power supply, to make things incredibly simple? Haha, no. You could get pretty far with C8 connectors for the ones with built-in power supplies, but some use polarized and some don't, and a few insist on being special. The DC ones are all over the place - 5V, 9V, 10V, 12V, 15V, and the N64 even needed two different voltages if I were to power it from a rail instead of using the AC adapter. 12V is most common but isn't even half of it. So that part of the plan was crap. Better to just run an AC power socket to each nook, and build the woodwork so it isn't visible from the front. You'd still have needed unique power connectors for everything, and it's not like you can buy just the connector when it's some proprietary nonsense like this. Maybe 3D printing will get to the point one day where it can be used for making connectors, but nothing the home user can get will work yet. I did determine you could neatly fill a 12-port Ethernet switch if you wanted to connect everything you could to a hardwired network. Eleven devices, and one port for the upstream. I'm not sure what the point of hooking the Gamecube or Dreamcast up would be, since the online is long since shut down and not many games support LAN, but this project idea is the epitome of "why not?". (I actually [I]have[/I] the ethernet adapter for my Gamecube, I've never used it and didn't even bother hooking it up to my router when I redid my network) In conclusion: fuck all of it. If you want a console collection with perfect, flawless cable management, and good-as-possible video quality, just build a good PC and emulate.[/QUOTE] You can take the connectors from the power bricks, getting some power rails going isn't hard either, a Computer PSU would work fine, just adapting the voltages not found on it, or just piece together a custom one. Really, these days getting the consoles is the hardest part.

So it seems YouTube has a 500 KiB/s speed limit on 720p dash video: [t]https://www.helifreak.club/image/20170318125904205.png[/t] Audio component wasn't in dash format so once the video was done it went to line speed. Line is way too consistently flat to not be an artificially enforced limit.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;51978267]What was the bitrate of the video?[/QUOTE] 369 kbps video, 141 kbps audio.
[QUOTE=helifreak;51978289]369 kbps video, 141 kbps audio.[/QUOTE] Explains a few details, It wouldn't be limited directly to 500kb, but as the video track was under, it is around that figure. There are videos which have their bitrate higher, I've got one that's easily over double. Youtube-DL has no issue with this, so it comes down to how it's being buffered in the web browser
