[21:31:03] <Bytram> maybe write up a quick SN journal article?
[21:30:29] <FatPhil> indeed
[21:30:25] <Bytram> :: sad face ::
[21:30:07] <Bytram> have too many blockers in place; so I have no lucj with viewing youtube live.
[21:30:06] <FatPhil> there was a discussion on the chiark newsgroups recently, and they tend to be reather smart people there, smarter than your average stackexchange bod. Lots of people were hitting brick walls with all kinds of BBC stuff.
[21:29:34] <Bytram> yeah. I
[21:29:07] <FatPhil> youtube itself has stopped working on my browsers in the last month or two, so even if there are pirate uploads there, they're hard to find.
[21:28:42] <Bytram> you can't be the first to want to do this... stackexchange?
[21:28:35] <FatPhil> google reveals nothing.
[21:28:19] <FatPhil> so it really will need a brit to help
[21:27:58] <FatPhil> alas we don't even know where the other auxiliary programs (containing the final frames of the single most interesting match) reside.
[21:27:53] <Bytram> okay, good to know. That's about all that comes to mind offhand, but...
[21:27:16] <FatPhil> youtube-dl works for the TV stuff, that's what we're currently using.
[21:26:41] <Bytram> you want to watch it live? or would a download work? if so, youtube-dl can handle a *wide* variety of formats
[21:26:00] <FatPhil> we used to use get_iplayer from inside chiark, and then scp the files here.
[21:25:42] <FatPhil> alas, VLC sits in Estonia, and they do geoblocking.
[21:25:34] <Bytram> okaaay
[21:25:23] <FatPhil> that no longer works, even a recently compiled version from source
[21:25:22] <Bytram> FatPhil: If you a URL, try giving that to VLC player
[21:20:25] <chromas> FatPhil: there's a package called get_iplayer. Maybe that'll help

[21:15:33] <FatPhil> Excuse me as I go to the bup.
[21:15:22] <FatPhil> dump? I've been in a finno-ugric country for too long.
[21:15:02] <FatPhil> ANy brits know any smart (or preferably dump) ways to download the BBC coverage of the World Snooker. The 4 programs per day on the BBC TV programmes page does not include the stuff that's "red button" or "iplayer".
