• New to Roku after finally cutting the cable cord, 2 questions.

  "Question 2: I bought two Roku Ultras" - You activate both Rokus on the same account on roku.com. I've had a Roku Ultra for some time and recently bought a Roku Express 4K for the guest bedroom for visiting relatives. When I activated the new Roku on my account it automatically duplicated all my apps on to the new one. But test each app, a few required me to log in on the new Roku. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any fellow coders out there familiar with ripping encrypted HLS streams? I've found a site that is using every protection in the book to prevent stream ripping and would love to chat

  Can something similar be done on roku.com? I tried following your steps for this video https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/67ca18fb4816521db4f188855569c21e but I noticed the type is not hls but mp4. There was a file that started with index instead of ending with index but much more complex then the sample video used in the example above. Source: over 1 year ago

  Did you reset the device & re-set it up on roku.com to be 'owned' by you? Source: over 1 year ago

• No Search Bar?

  Certain features will be missing in unsupported countries. You can see our list of supported countries by navigating to roku.com and trying the county selector option at the bottom right hand of the page. Source: over 1 year ago

• Unauthorized Roku charges through my Paypal account.

  Easier said than done with an elderly parent, but have your mom go to roku.com, reset her password, and give you the password. Then you should be able to go in and remove any payment method (presumably your PayPal), cancel any subscriptions, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

  Https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Video stops on furst frame, audio continues to play,seek works

  I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

• S23 8k video freezes when played on VLC computer

  Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable. Source: 6 months ago

• Yorick is an interpreted programming language for scientific simulations

  Https://mpv.io played it without fuss. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads

  One example is a script to quickly grab the URL of the current tab and send it to mpv¹ for playing or yt-dlp² for downloading. Or send some JavaScript to that same tab. Or grab the URLs and titles of all tabs in all windows that match a specific domain, close them, and then reopen in a brand new window. Alfred³ has a ton of automations that allow you to do that without having to code it yourself. ¹ https://mpv.io... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
