It's arbitrary that it uses some glitches but not others, and that is does some things with the magnet beam but not others. It certainly isn't glitchless.

Hey Nach, similar to MarioUniverseZone's pic, trying to access the 'Movies by statistics' page also produces that long list of "error_handler" undefined offset text.

Looks fine to me: Ensure you properly reloaded the page. If it's still not working, see if there's a second copy of that CSS elsewhere. Edit: I checked Chrome too: My Chrome view looks different than yours, and is graying out that CSS for some reason, but I don't see any page errors.

Sorry, forgot to mention that as part of the major update, DiscoRico's reported bug has been fixed. CrazyTerabyte, I also put in the CSS change you requested. Please force refresh and confirm the fix.

New version of TVCMan (v1.6) has been uploaded. What's New:
  • Now limits upload chunk size to 10MB to adhere to new limitation being enforced.
  • Switched to faster MD5 hash implementation.
  • Libraries updated (Fixes against new TLS attacks).
New versions of PHP allow for the server to be easily DoS'd if large chunks are processed by it. Therefore, I'm going to be enforcing a new length limit, and this version will be required to upload any encode greater than 10MB in size. Please test this new version as soon as possible so I can ensure the site changes aren't problematic.

I judged a previous run of this hack? I don't see it here: Wiki: Nach/SubmissionJudgements Did the hack used to have a different name? To be honest, I try to forget hacks, but still I for some reason have no recollection of seeing this hack before.

It's not good to jump to conclusions. According to someone who told me they saw her suicide note, she wrote she couldn't deal with living in pain all the time from her terminal chronic disease. If that's true, whatever it was was more than simple depression.

Back in 1st year when I did it it was super stressful, I had diarrhea pretty much all the time and a headache due to a problem with my eyes/head that hasn't been diagnosed yet (I've been to eyes doctor, and have been to a neurologist who said I'm fine), since teachers would use projections in class. I would feel dizzy and drowsy every single day. Which caused me to skip school a lot. Because of how badly motivated I am, for exams I would wake up at as early as 3:50 those days to start studying. I don't want to go through this again. And be judged with numbers. And end up with a shitty body. I'm actually in a state where I only need to go down and up stairs and I feel exhausted.
I don't want to sound insensitive, or offer diagnosis without firsthand knowledge, or claim to know more than professionals you've seen, but what you're describing sounds like a dietary issue. Are you eating healthy? Have you tried shifting your diet to foods with a lower glycemic load? Are you getting enough sleep at night and enough sunlight during the day? Precise issues are hard to track down when you're dealing with a more general destabilization of what the body needs. If you are managing yourself correctly, then I'm sorry for offering this suggestion.

If anyone says "go outside, go for a walk". I can't bring up the motivation to do it. It's not fun to walk around.
Indeed, it's not fun, but a little bit of exercise is important. Just working out for a few minutes a day doing some push-ups and jumping jacks can cause a vast improvement in a person's system.

New version of ytu (v2.0 RC3, and hopefully v2.0 final) has been uploaded. What's New in 2.0 RC3: It seems YouTube has the same bug in their API as the previous build of my fixed, not offering any real fix. Although I managed to quickly find a work around. So this should now be fully fixed. Please test and provide feedback right away, as Google demands that we switch to the new version by midnight.

Please test that it's been fixed. Since fixing this also required some architectural changes, please ensure that nothing else was broken in the process. Please test and provide feedback right away, as Google demands that we switch to the new version by midnight.

I'm sorry for the long wait on this, Google's new stuff is crazy and broken, and on top of everything, I had to spend considerable time in the hospital with a relative. For those of you who haven't been paying attention on IRC, Google has deprecated their old authentication and YouTube APIs, and are going to be shutting things off shortly. I've spend most of my recent time working through Google's ridiculous new APIs, figuring out how they work, how best to make use of them, and working on switching ytu over to the new stuff. Since this was very high priority, I haven't been around here, or done much of anything besides work on this. I'm sorry if anyone felt like I've been ignoring or neglecting you. ---- New version of ytu (v2.0 RC1) has been uploaded. What's New in 2.0 RC1:
  • Switched to new Google Authentication system. This new system unfortunately requires a ridiculous initial setup process.
  • Switch everything over to new YouTube APIs, except for Captions, because Google deprecated the old API, but did not create a new API for captions yet. (Thankfully the old API seems it can be coaxed into working, and theoretically this technique being used should have about a year of life left, unlike the other components of the old APIs.)
  • Removed many permission settings Google no longer supports via their APIs.
  • Added ability to delete videos.
  • More information is stored about each upload, and can be retrieved using the new info option.
  • Category numbers changed for new API.
Please see the included PDF regarding how to obtain credentials for this new version. Those of you who couldn't obtain credentials with previous versions of ytu should now be able to do so. Please test everything as thoroughly and as soon as possible, as the old APIs that prior versions of ytu uses will be shut off in a few days, and we don't want our YouTube related activities to stop working, nor run on buggy code. With this new version, I also started work on allowing authentication to be proxied from another account. This means, once it's ready, all site encoders will be able to use ytu to directly work with the site's YouTube videos. While that's not useful for videos that you're unable to uploaded within Google's time limit, or have a really bad connection, it will be useful for uploading smaller videos very quickly if you have a fast connection, or performing your own updates, deletes, and caption uploads. Stay tuned.

New version out. Now supports multiple torrent files at once, so you can use it en masse easily. 
Usage: torrent <parameters> <torrent file 1> ... <torrent file N>

Parameters:
  -p     Remove private flag if found.
  -a     Insert/Replace announce list with TASVideos' and open trackers.
  -u     URL list has HTTPS converted to HTTP, and archive.org seeds corrected.

I believe Ilari meant, that the private marker can only be set at creation time (that is, you need the actual file to be torrented be present).
No, you can change it on the fly, that's how the application works. What Ilari is saying is that changing that part of the torrent file makes trackers see the torrent differently, so those who are downloading with the old file and those downloading with the new file won't see each other as peers. However, using the option would not be an issue for newly uploaded torrents.

Ilari said -p could be problematic to run site wide. However, we can certainly automatically run it on new torrents as they're uploaded. If you guys deem it safe and no problems, I can add a full sweep of existing torrents with -u, and cause all new torrents uploaded to be ran through -u -p.

I just put out a new version. This new version in addition to recognizing url-list being an actual list, it can handle the field being a string too.

The program which I posted to this forum like two years back, is capable of fixing this in a matter of minutes. No need for alarm, just need to get a script running. For reasons like this, when I post stuff, people should test it, so we aren't forced into using software in emergencies when it's not ready yet.

With this new version available, what would you say is the more superior version of emulating SNES games? Bizhawk or this?
The vast majority of the time, they should be equal. On the other hand, if you look into which you can make a more sophisticated TAS, like the crazy stuff Masterjun is doing, or if you want to write extremely powerful LUA scripts, then you're better off with lsnes.

Hi Nach, I'm not sure how to do that. Last time I think it did it automatically for me. This time I submitted the wrong file (a save.jrsr) so I'm wondering if that's the reason why it wasn't added. I've since uploaded what I think is the right thing (the movie file I saved to use for the dump that created my quick encode).
I've replaced your submission file. In terms of that, you followed the correct procedure. However, the site does not automatically generate disk image info. Your last submission had it because Ilari added it: http://tasvideos.org/diff.exe?page=3317S&rev=2&prev=1 You can get a listing from JPC-RR, please do so and add it to your submission.
