I will take AI seriously when the data used for training is gathered with consent from its authors.

This project was started when Subsonic became closed-source in 2016 (which made me very upset). I wasn't too excited about using that API at the time. Nowadays, OpenSubsonic looks like a protocol worth supporting so I will be looking into it!

Not at the moment, although this fits well into the project scope.

In Firefox, go to Hamburger menu -> Settings -> General -> Language and appearance. There is a big three-button setup with Automatic/Light/Dark options (where Automatic is your OS-wide choice).

After 30 years of using and developing for Windows, the last straw was the repeated full screen ads pushing Windows 11. A couple months ago, I took the plunge and built an AMD desktop w/ NixOS. Goodbye forever Microsoft.

Now I get to look at the continued enshittification from a distance. It's still sad but at least it's no longer my problem.

Re: 7 I think in the end all the videos did upload successfully, but the client UI stopped reporting progress at some point.

A couple more suggestions:

- Would like a select-all button instead of clicking videos 1 by 1

- An option to switch from grid view to list view could be useful

- Home UI shows 25 items per page but the grid has 3 columns so the last row is never full - which makes it seem like there are no further pages.

- When moving items, the item count in the title of the destination-selection dialog keeps increasing for every move operation. I think items are not deselected after moving?

Thank you!

Some feedback after using it for a few minutes:

- When clicking the "+ create" menu, left-clicking whitespace on the page does not close the dropdown

- Home page takes very long to list videos (even with a single video). Updates after moving videos/deleting videos/creating folders also feel unresponsive.

- On home page or inside folders, videos do not have thumbnails (just a generic camera icon)

- While a video is being moved to a directory (spinner be spinning), the delete/move options under the search bar are still present

- Would like an option to apply resize/compression settings to videos on upload to help manage storage space

- When failing to upload due to size limit, the UI does not say what the size limit is

I think this is a promising service so I'll upgrade and hope the quirks improve over time!

Edit:

- Trying to upload 30-ish 100-200MB videos at the same time in the web UI, many error with `Unable to mark session as finished`.

Incredible timing, I was just looking for somewhere to store and share my video game clips. This looks more appealing (cheaper) than Streamable.

I love that there is a Linux Appimage but does it also work with just a browser?
