Is the Piped Link Bot down? No activity in the last two weeks. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 3 points 2 years ago

It should be back now! I've migrated it to a new server earlier today since the old one had some issues.

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 1 points 2 years ago

Zorin OS, which was the second distro I ever tried, I hated how outdated their repos were since they were using an older Ubuntu LTS repository for packages. It was quite painful to install software that would otherwise have worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu. I hope this is no longer the case today.

Introverts of Lemmy, what do you do when you feel lonely? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 6 points 2 years ago

I try doing something productive, like working on developing a new skill, or work on some of my hobby projects. That prevents me from feeling lonely.

What would be a good name for a federated Wikipedia? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 10 points 2 years ago

Here's some that I thought about:

  • Wikipub
  • Wikihive (A bee mascot)
  • Academoo (A cow mascot)
  • LinkLynx (A lynx with a magnifying glass maybe?)
  • Encyclonet

Hi, author of the Piped link bot here! I think this is meme great feedback to throw light on some issues on the experience with the bot. 😂 I'll open an issue at https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot to track this later.

Autoplay playlists? in c/piped@feddit.rocks
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi, when you're playing a video, you can enable "Auto Play next Video" checkbox on the same page below the video description.

I chose to sleep with Marilyn Monroe not because she was easy, but because she made me hard! in c/memes@lemmy.ml
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey, thanks for the message! I've fixed the issue already, which was caused by a regression in one of my changes. To prevent this from happening in the future, I've added unit tests for the same. Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

I'm having trouble getting piped to work. I don't have it signed in. I'm using it on a Samsung Galaxy s21. I've used it with and without a proxy NordVPN. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I hit th in c/piped@feddit.rocks
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Things should be fine from today onwards on the official instance. We're now using a VPN for some (and maybe soon all) traffic to Google.

Author of Piped (and also a member of TeamNewPipe and LibreTube) here.

I haven't seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I've seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.

Piped isn't letting me create playlists in c/piped@feddit.rocks
[–] kavin@feddit.rocks 1 points 2 years ago

Hi, is this on the official instance? I'm unable to reproduce this..

DeArrow is now Supported (elk.zone)
 

We now have support for DeArrow in Piped! You can enable it on the preferences page.

DeArrow is an extension that allows for video titles and thumbnails to be crowdsourced for better accuracy and less clickbait.

YouTube has recently introduced features to let creators A/B test video titles/thumbnails to measure the impact on viewership. DeArrow is a great way to take back control of what you watch.
