Anyone having good luck watching the video? I have tried all 3 major browsers and none are buffering and playing the media seamlessly. Maybe it's Vimeo's player

Anyone having good luck watching the video? I have tried all 3 major browsers and none are buffering and playing the media seamlessly. Maybe it's Vimeo's player that is bad.
- JTon 12y agoJust watched it in FF 34.0 without issues. Buffered fast too :/

You're not going to stop the vast majority of downloaders. Go study King Canute. 3. Video playback is vastly superior under local clients than in a Web app. Controls are uniform, I don't have to deal with buffering, I can start/stop/pause without hunting for controls in different places in different GUIs, I can vary playback speed, have pitch adjust to speed, mute audio, etc., I can queue up several videos without hassling with browser tabs, and I don't have the problem of trying to track down which browser tab, in which window, on which desktop, is playing and/or making noise (it's far easier to find and track down my video player(s)). While the Vimeo Web player is decent, it does a miserable job at starting/stopping and repositioning playback. Most of what I download I delete immediately on viewing (or after a few seconds of playing). Some, yes, I keep. Most of it's for research purposes. As it turns out, I skimmed through your video rather quickly with the sound off. Pretty, but frankly not all that interesting. And you're pegging yourself as another creative who 1) I'd never have heard of before but 2) has identified himself as really not constitutionally suited to online realities.

- dredmorbius 12y agoThe audience is, implicitly and deliberately, more than just him. Hence: an online public forum. But thank you for your kind words.

- redacted 12y agoThe story of Cnut and the waves isn't supposed to show the King's hubris at trying to turn back the waves but rather his humility in accepting that, despite being an incredibly powerful man, his powers were nothing in comparison to the divine: 'Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws.' I have no idea why I'm replying of course, the tone of the rest of your comment is wilfully and unnecessarily confrontational. Or, in other words, you're just being an asshole.

- huskyr 12y agoAs it turns out, I skimmed through your Hacker News post rather quickly with my eyes closed. Pretty, but frankly not all that interesting. And you're pegging yourself as another commenter who 1) I'd never have heard of before but 2) has identified himself as really not constitutionally suited to the rules of online hospitality and kindness.
- Gravityloss 12y agoVimeo has had trouble with click to play flashblock for years. I keep one browser without flashblock for vimeo and soundcloud mainly.
