Saw Wendell do this on the latest GN video and for some reason just knew it needed to be a thing.

Edit: I ended up piping ffmpeg into ssh to which through single quotes (or the -t switch, according to the manual) I gave the MPV command. I also needed to encode the streams, because either the layer one infrastructure couldn't handle the transmission or the receiving/playing computer couldn't decode fast enough (an old T480). Thank you @[email protected] ! The only thing I missed was that I had never actually ssh:ed into this particular computer, so the command got caught up in weird... "Situations" haha. Enabling public key authentication solved that. The final resulting command:

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i [my video card] -f alsa -i [my sound card] -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset superfast -c:a flac -f nut pipe:1 | ssh -p [port] username@otherhost 'mpv [a buttload of options] -'  

I am watching VHS tapes with ffmpeg and piping it into MPV with ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i [my video card] -f alsa -i [my sound card] -c copy -f nut pipe:1 | mpv -. The reason I'm not just playing the video and audio stream off of my capture device is because I want to be able to adjust audio delay in real time with MPV hotkeys. This works well so far. Now, I want to grab the stream from another computer on my LAN. How do I do that? I've been thinking of sshfs, but I can't mount the capture card. Should I stream into a file on the server which I then mount on the client side with sshfs? If I did that, I'd have to delete the file that my command created every time I watched something, no?

Holy shit, it's happening, guys. Paint.net is getting official wine support. You know the windows situation is getting bad when even the developer of an app exclusively aimed at Windows is now shifting support to wine...

They're contributing to the wine project and everything 🥲 https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60276

I came on here a few months ago ranting about direct 2D stub functions. Two days ago the dev stopped calling those exact direct 2D functions https://github.com/paintdotnet/Paint.NET-on-Wine/releases/tag/v5.200.9785.36400

What a time to be alive. Truly a great time to be a Paint.net enjoyer.

For those unaware, Linus Torvalds this year has deeply cast his lot with the hyperscale LLMs for development of Linux code, dismissing arguments that this is an abdication of responsibility over that code base.

I'm learning to make beats and made this first project, had much fun making it and learned a lot.

Made with LMMS. Special Thanks to freesound_community (@pixabay) who's wonderful audio I mainly used for this (by the way).
