Submission + - Free open source YouTube-clone alternatives for DIY hosting? (gamespot.com)

Submitted by BlueToast on Sunday December 22, 2013 @02:50AM

BlueToast writes: With the recent waves of content ID take-downs and backlash, what alternatives and options do YouTube content creators have to host videos themselves while still having the user friendliness of YouTube video browsing, channel management, editing, annotations, and highly-compatible automated video transcoding processing?

I like being able to take recordings straight from my phone and camcorder and upload them straight to YouTube and be automatically processed into different quality versions and guaranteed compatibility, but do not have the same experience with DIY self-hosted solutions that often are sensitive to the video format and troublesome to get working in Flash/HTML5-players. I just want to have something as easy to install and configure like WordPress while being as functional and powerful as YouTube and in my full control through my own resources. I have uses for this privately on company intranets and in public on the web.

Remember, this is CBS we're talking about here; mainstream media. Mainstream TV media wouldn't know a good TV show if it came up and slapped them upside the face.

So that explains why Person of Interest never went past the first season...

Oh wait, it did.

Submission + - Sourceforge spreading Adware-InstallQ virus

And boom, the anti-virus detected Adware-InstallQ. I've found out that some projects bundle their software with this install-wrapper in order to make some cash, but that was restricted to 'dubious download sites' [ref]. I didn't know sourceforge has now turned into such a filthy dirty swamp...

If you read the comments in the Community Hub the Linux version is there and can be installed, it's just not advertised on the Steam page yet.

Yeah, I just threw up in my mouth a little when I read that - and I speak German as my first language and thought I could stomach everything.

Of all the words they could have chosen it absolutely has to be the sleaziest one besides "Anwalt"?

(No wait, "financial advisor" in this day and age might even surpass "lawyer" as the sleaziest one...)
