Fun! Thank you for this.

I just wanted to watch this fullscreen so, here is a simple oneliner to do that with mplayer from the CLI.

    Haha! Awesome! We actually will try to implement full screen aswell. But you're faster... :)

This is what we hacked the last 4 hours at the 4hourventure.com event today. Feedback welcome! :)

This is wonderful! One of the best hacks I have seen in a long time. I guess you may want to improve video response time though.

  • dittesOP 13 years ago

    Thanks a lot! These comments make it worth hacking that stuff together! :) We will continue improving the site, but the actually stream the videos from archive.org, so maybe we have to host them on a faster server.

This is cool. Now, make this into a universal iOS app and allow me to IAP videos so they're stored locally in the app.

You will make money on parents who need a way to keep a kid/toddler occupied in a place that doesn't have wifi.

(I'm assuming these are in the public domain)

    They are and perhaps there will be a phone version in two weeks. We still need a project for our next 4 hour venture...

    oh, that one slipped through the vetting process. It is removed now

Sounds great, doesn't render on iOS Safari: fragment of border, video unsupported.

ETA: whole frame in portrait orientation, half in landscape (doesn't show on scrolling). Still no video.

Eager to use!

  • dittesOP 13 years ago

    we are working on that as we speak. reload, it should work better now. the formats are different, but we try to filter them for ios...

  • hecht 13 years ago

    should work much better now.

    Actually we just have a bunch of videos right now, but it should be more than just those. You can use the chrome knob on the TV to switch to the next...

You just added a good bit of fun to my day, thank you.

I don't remember receiving that many channels on a TV like that, though!
