Vid.me Support? #568

Closed bgiesing closed 8 years ago

bgiesing commented 8 years ago

Do you think Vid.me support is possible to be added?

calzoneman commented 8 years ago

So you can already add the direct links to the videos by using the JS console on their website:

console.log(document.querySelector("source[type='video/mp4']").src)

And then plugging the resulting link into CyTube. But I took a glance at their metadata API and it looks like it would work for native support, I'd just need to be convinced that it's worth doing.

Well a lot of people are using them as a censor free alternative with the whole #WTFU DMCA and other YouTube issues.

Plus they allow anonymous uploads with no account so it could be a good alternative in addition to Google Drive/Photos support for uploads that aren't super public and people who don't like Google.

Their API looks pretty simple, I'll take a look at it.

You can try this out on http://beta.synchtube.me

I just tried it in two separate windows and it works. (I'm guessing it being off by a few seconds is expected since I'm running two on the same computer?)

calzoneman commented 8 years ago

it shouldn't behave any different from any other video type in terms of synchronization

I left a cheeky message on your commit regarding this. :shipit:

I intentionally left this open for visibility until the change makes it out to live.

This is live now.
