Dear Liberty Media,
please have a look at such a tool and maybe reconsider your addition of defective by design (aka DRM) technology to f1tv streams. It broke on three (!) different playback devices I own.
thank you,
a valuable customer

What is the 3pm saturday blackout?
No matches are televised in the UK on Saturday Afternoons between 3 and 5:30(?). Allegedly, it's to encourage people to attend games rather than watch them.
Not so much to encourage them to watch Premier League games (the ones that would otherwise be televised) but to encourage them to go to support their local team with hundreds or thousands of others.
In this way, at least, the motivation is pleasingly different from the US blackouts which are aimed at getting you to attend the home games of your big league team.
I don't understand why half the games are still played at 3pm on Saturday at all. Yes, it's a very convenient time, but if 60% of the games already get moved, why not move the others?

#123So, a lot of users in this thread seem to be misunderstanding what Mux is, and how the "soccer pirates" interact with their service. Let me clarify: Mux is a streaming infrastructure provider. They provide services for companies who want to stream video to their users -- news web sites, video chat services, etc. Kind of like web hosting, but specifically for video. They are not a video content provider; they do not s…
There's probably a point here that they offer free credits and other ways for people to get "free bandwidth". So this is a way to avoid less friendly strategies to get pre-payments on this stuff, at least without going through a sales team.
I enjoy being able to sign up and just try a thing without interacting with a sales team, but... I mean. This is a video CDN, not a newspaper subscription. I definitely know what I would do (but I am not a successful business)

#124There's actually a group that streamed pixelated FIFA-gameplay during games with the correct streams and all.
It looked good enough so that people actually watched and they got the ad revenue off it :D
Also: perfectly legal, they're just streaming a video game =)

#125> The contractor can escalate or silence the alert using the buttons on the Slack message. If it is a false positive, they will press “Silence,” which activates another n8n workflow that adds the asset to an allowlist, so it won’t alert again. So if I were a prospective soccer pirate hoping to take advantage of Mux publishing the specific details of their content moderation system, could I just stream myself harmless…
No one would watch your shirt collection, so it wouldn't get flagged for review until you stream the football game.

#126> Is the email address suspicious looking?
I wonder what this looks like? Everything that isn't Gmail or outlook?

Wait, Steam offers you a "share library" feature but then locks your account when you use it?!
Not as in an account ban, it just only lets one copy of the game in question (or one game total? Haven't used it much) run at any given time. No different to lending your friend a Nintendo cartridge, except that it requires less running around. :)
Only one person can play from your library at once. So you are essentially lending the whole nintendo.
The frustrating thing is just that I cannot play free games on my steam account (hi dotas) whilst lending a paid game to ma famile.

Re: We glued together content moderation to stop soccer pirates
#129This article could use big improvements in both its tone and organization. People don't have a lot of love for greedy sports broadcasters, and tech people are often associated with a kind of "information wants to be free" ethos (for better or worse), so starting out your blog post with: > identify and take action against soccer pirates and other delinquents who try to stream copyrighted content comes across as pretty…
Not the author, but I am a Muxer with edit access. I agree that the "delinquent" bit isn't hitting the intended tone there so I went ahead and made a quick edit to at least address that piece. I think the author intended as a reference to the payment kind of delinquency, but I can see why it wouldn't read that way.
Thanks for the feedback!

Someone who pirates content, does not pay his bills and probably earns money through adverts I don't mind calling a delinquent.
