X needs a way to easily find video media for a source—say SpaceX—in one spot. High res video, with a windowed mode (vs the current potato or full screen choice).. I search for @spacex, go to the profile, then select the "media" tab and scroll the vids and pics.

Yeah, that works, and they are in order... but each launch has the stream, plus liftoff/landing/deploy shorts (maybe more), then stills, so it's a LOT of scrolling to find a particular vid.

Yes, much scrolling. An issue I have only with the X video player on mobile is that when I have the audio going to Bluetooth speakers, the sound works fine but the visuals freeze. No Bluetooth, works fine. Works fine for YouTube, Rumble, etc. They got a long punch list to get the video player polished and media search working well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Prediction: F9 will be around a lot longer than most would predict. The design, given launch numbers and reusability , has become the Ford F-150 of rockets and I can even see the design eventually licensed out and an after market for once, twice, nth, flown boosters. Maybe even aftermarket non-OEM repair/refurbish parts. Export bans are the big variable for this prediction, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegarrison Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Just gonna drop in here that SpaceX using Tesla cars for transporters and X-exclusive broadcasts and the like is exactly the sort of behavior that led to anti-trust laws being written in the first place. And since the ownership of those different companies is not identical, if one company gives something to another (such as SpaceX giving X valuable exclusive content), that potentially constitutes transferring value from one set of minority shareholders to a different set -- probably without their consent.

Not the battle I'd pick, but out of morbid curiosity what do you think is the monetary value being unfairly moved about in this allegedly improper behavior? Ma Bell levels of money? Standard Oil levels of money? Who is the victim? What consumer choice is being limited en masse? What monopoly over what market are they unfairly squashing competition within? I'm not seeing how using a few Teslas or streaming free videos on X at no charge equates to violations of anti trust laws. The fact that the shareholders are separate groups makes it less likely to be an anti trust issue, not more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceception Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 No more "pending regulatory approvals"! I might actually be able to catch the stream.

Its just for PR and its an minor expense. Now starlink is more questionable as it an major system but spaceX might offer bid for the launches don't think many would fight for that. Stroke might for replacement runs. 1 hour ago, tater said: Elon replied it was guaranteed to be exciting, but did not correct the time, so...

PiHole doesn't help in this regard. 15 hours ago, tater said: You can run adblocker and open in a private window as well, their restrictions were based on your account. It's not even quite that bad. If you clear your cookies and site data for youtube, it should stop it too. All I had to do was re-log in. Did that a couple weeks ago now and I haven't had problems since. *edit: I will note that I am using Firefox, and not the browser made by the ad-serving conglomerate that owns YouTube. 1 hour ago, Deddly said: Yep, on https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-2 I temporarily blocked *.x.com and *.twitter.com on my pihole and the stream on spacex.com still worked. (I was worried since it has embedded links to watch... there.) So hopefully that won't be an issue. Although I am still hoping for a YT stream. Edited November 16, 2023 by Geonovast FF addendum.
