I think zzz was proposing something like that, uop23ip
dr|z3d
you want an option (button) to open the data directory with your file manager, right?
uop23ip
dr|z3d, nope :)
uop23ip
if i play this 1 torrent mp4 with a app player, it often shutdowns the video window and i have to open again. I don't have that in the browser and caneasily just click refresh in the browser to update the file
uop23ip
in the detail of i2psnark there is the file location. i copy this into my browser and it opens up the video in the browser
dr|z3d
so what are you suggesting?
uop23ip
data location clickable:file......
not_bob
misuse?
uop23ip
false use.sorry. pdf are not partally readable as example i mean.
not_bob
Ahh, yes.
dr|z3d
fringe use case, why not just wait until the video's fully downloaded?
uop23ip
just try to download a 1 mp4 only. start it, use sequencial downloading, wait till file is written, go to details of torrent, data location pathtofile, copy this into new tab in browser.
uop23ip
dr|z3d, to have it more like a tube
not_bob
I could see how that would work, yeah.
dr|z3d
I read a great argument against sequential downloading, something along the lines of "it selfishly screws over other downloaders" in brief.
uop23ip
dr|z3d, probably, but you can play the file with less than 1% downloaded if mp4
dr|z3d
yeah, not a huge fan of "I want it now, fuck everyone else" mentality.
uop23ip
it faster to get it to play and i think the header has also something to do with it
not_bob
You can play up to the part that's not downloaded anyway...
not_bob
The only use case I can see for this sort of thing is to preview things before they finish.
not_bob
IE, to see if a film is a crappy cam copy, or decent quality.
not_bob
Yeah, with an mp4 you need the header to play it.
uop23ip
and if it seeded by some peers, there is no big problem. In release it is something different
not_bob
Grabbing the file in order removes the randomness that helps other users get parts of the file quikcly.
uop23ip
if it is fast enough, balanced with the av bitrate, than you can watch while downloading, with some refreshes
not_bob
I've rarely seen any torrents go anywhere near fast enough for that.
uop23ip
more a tube, as i don't think somehow telling i2psnark just to download the block where the pointer of the video is placed is possible
uop23ip
not_bob, for the future :)
not_bob
I'd suggest taking to idk or zzz about it.
not_bob
I'm sure they will read this here.
not_bob
But, best to just let them download naturally.
uop23ip
not_bob, think of smaller file like video tutorials 25-100mb as another example
uop23ip
quite fast to jump in the files while downloading
dr|z3d
with a couple of decent seeds, 100MB files can be downloaded in less than an hour, maybe less than 15m if your connection's good.
not_bob
The idea of streaming a video in real time though is just not really an option.
uop23ip
and i can look if its crap while downl :)
not_bob
Yeah, that's the only real use case I can see for this.
uop23ip
people watch youtube with steady buffering :) If you want more tube than you have to make mp4 in more streaming rates
uop23ip
or it can be likely to cake or other file hoster service in usage if an mp4 video is wanted to be shared in a forum or like. Post a preview gif/webp under the magnetic link. THen it's with i2paddon: click link, add, wait, click mp4 data location to see the video. Quite practical in this usecase
uop23ip
forgotten: click detail
zzz
git.idk.i2p/zzz/i2p.plugins.sqldb if you want to laugh at it. Don't try to install or run it
dr|z3d
:)
dr|z3d
what about keepalive code? where dat?
zzz
on my hard drive until january as previously stated
dr|z3d
** i2ptunnelHTTP keepaliveDone, most bugs fixed, needs much more testing
zzz
I also can't login to git.idk.i2p as reported to eyedeekay several days ago
dr|z3d
come on, you've got it classed as done on your 2.5 roadmap page. let's have a pre-xmas look at it :)
zzz
it needs some cleanup and I don't want critical bug reports over the holidays
dr|z3d
I can give you an assurance that you won't get any bug reports, and I won't put it on the /dev/ branch until you're ready for it to get wider testing, if that sways you. otherwise, no worries.
zzz
I also need a discussion w/ eyedeekay on how he wants the MRs first
FMae
noticed another issue. on 127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/list i cant see the full b32 of a standard tunnel and a streamr tunnel but can see it for the webserver tunnel
dr|z3d
is the webserver tunnel started, FMae?
FMae
yes
FMae
everythign is running
dr|z3d
have you toggled the full (expanded) view?
dr|z3d
[+] button on the Global Tunnel Control heading.
dr|z3d
let's have a look, if that site decides to load.
FMae
still cut off with that toggled
dr|z3d
ok, so..
dr|z3d
for the webserver tunnel, you have a preview button which is your b32.
FMae
i need the b32 of the retroshare tunnel lol
dr|z3d
for standard and streamer you have a truncated b32 when unexpanded, and should have the full b32 if you toggle the full view as decribed.
dr|z3d
either way, if you click on the truncated view and then copy it, you'll have the full b32.
dr|z3d
so where you have bruz.. next to the stars, for example. click, copy -> full b32.
dr|z3d
or hit the [+] button to expand the view and the full b32 should be visible.
FMae
the selecting and copying works but not very intuitive
dr|z3d
sure, valid point.
dr|z3d
what's up with your browser fonts? it looks like you've got an addon preventing downloadable fonts from working.
FMae
librewolf with noscript and addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i2p-in-private-browsing
FMae
127.0.0.1 with js allowed
dr|z3d
see if you can enable fonts, probably in noscript. everything will look a lot better.
FMae
oh and its running in wine
FMae
probably wine
dr|z3d
oh jeebus *laughs*
FMae
font smoothing is active but probably missing some fonts
FMae
it looks way better than when i first installed wine lol
FMae
oh god default wine is horrendous
dr|z3d
no support for woff2 fonts, probably. i2p+ supplies its own fonts, so they don't need to be installed.
dr|z3d
can't you run a native browser?
FMae
i "can" but am testing some things
dr|z3d
ok, as you were.
FMae
the console does look better in the normal browser
FMae
so probably wine-related
dr|z3d
one more thing.. when you hit the expand button in the tunnel manager, does that expose the full b32s?
FMae
they still look cut off
dr|z3d
yeah, that's that nature of having a 56 character string when your viewport isn't wide enough.
dr|z3d
dunno if it's worth the effort, but I could do a copy to clipboard on click with a notification, similar to how the copy magnets function works in snark.
FMae
well, 14in isnt that small for a laptop lol
dr|z3d
well, you can try an override if you like, for the expanded view at least.
FMae
i was hoping the new "retroshare-friendserver" was about like a chatserver but not sure. the gui doesnt even have the friendserver tab its supposed to so cant fully test it
FMae
i really want to get a retroshare chatserver over i2p/tor going but not much luck so far
zzz
looking for testers of our new deb repo deb.i2p.net
zzz
if anybody is on ilita please ask R4SAS to give it a try
