/mlpol/ Movie NightYep, you read that right. There will be a movie stream tonight as we're all trapped in our homes, slowly going insane thanks to
corona AGGGGGHHHHHHH.
We'll be watching the MLP, and then after we can decide if we want to watch some show episodes or just repeat the movies while shitposts occur as has always happened historically.
We'll start the movie at
REMINDER: Program commences at 5:30 PST instead of 6:30. If this time works out it will likely be the new starting time going forward.Link is

Currently on Rainbow Roadtrip, and for next movie night recommendations are highly welcome
Last showing of MLP the Movie
Thanks everyone for a great time!
>>318864Thanks for the stream OP.
I enjoyed it very much.
Today is ponies and slightly not quite ponery pones but still hoers like to some degree.
>Ico the brave little horse it's Spanish maybe with English subtitles<Horses and humans possibly and a brave pone also swords and vegetable abuse?>Gen 3 movie End of Flutter'svalley<The prelude to the 1990 film rise of the humans rated a ten out of twelve clops for historical purposes.>MLP THE Movie<Deja vu I've in this place before...>MLP Rainbow's Roadtrip<Ponies commit property damage commit technicolor warfare culminating in culmination (in the director's cut).Also if there's any issues or suggestions about any of this that would be helpful.
Is this a good time still?
5:30 PST (aka 8:30 EST or 7:30 CST)
https://www.joshwhotv.com/live/0/_60b1994a187f3/1https://cytu.be/r/OccultFacadeHey all, I've been on a bit of an extended sabbatical and haven't been able to participate in /mlpol/-related activities, but I've more or less returned now. I'm willing to resume running the weekly movie nights if you guys would like, though it appears that you've been managing without me for a few weeks now. If whoever has been showing movies in my absence would like to continue doing it that's fine too, I actually don't mind taking a break from it for a while longer. Let me know what you guys would like to do, also I might drop into the stream later tonight.
>>319379Take as long as you need or want.
Because it's neat finding out new movies in the Football house of FishFuck and there's still a few seasons left.
So far only been rewatching the movies.
>>319379>>319385I should rephrase watching movies is pretty fun with others. Finding them is hard. I'm probably making it harder than is really is.
Your preshows are fun and interesting as is the movies.
>>319386Hunh ID changed uhh still OP
>>319377Movie time is ready if anyone is ready.
>>319386>>319387Just verifying this is me.
>>319379>whoeverOh, cuz you havent read the thread?
>>319379please take over! i miss watching movies and episodes
Thanks everyone! Sorry I fell asleep multiple times during the showing.
>>319424That's not fair. OP is doing a wonderful job and with an outstanding effort.
The style is different but the Friendship is the same.
>>319427Thanks OP, the Spanish movie was a good pone surprise.
Very cute horses.
>>319429Thanks I wasn't sure but I'm glad. For more horsery I'd recommend peertube instance pony.tube (as in just https://) there are other instances with other things.
Very neat concept.
>>319428It's fair, the implementation and selection is superior. Thank you I do appreciate that.
>>319428This. That anon stepped up and took responsibility for continuing movie night in Elway's unplanned absence is exemplary and laudable.
Thanks filly fren
I missed part of last night. Does someone have a copy of Ico?
>>319437I recommend checking out pony.tube
>>319459Cool link. This is a bit off topic, but another cool link is derpy.tv . It's a livestream of MLP episodes. No chatroom, but it's where I go when I just want to watch pony and don't care about which episode. The fact that it's always playing means that it's basically a randomized selection for me, and I like that.
a movie night sounds nice
>>319533It is. We've been doing it every week for more than 4 years now.
Sadly, I tend to be so busy on Fridays that I keep missing out on it.
>>319540jesus has this site been around that long?
>>319548Ever since the first week of April 2017.
>>319551I've heard of mlpol but I never bothered lookin it up
>>319552that's an oddly specific time
>>319553alright I'll bite why specifically the first week of April 2017 I'm dying to know now
>>319553>>319554I don't remember the exact date, but it was a couple days after the April 1st board merge of 2017, when 4chan staff combined /mlp/ and /pol/ for a day. After the merge, a lot of Anons wanted /mlpol/ back, so the weekend after we were all autistically screeching on /qa/ to let us have it. The 4cuck staff didn't comply, so Atlas (the site's creator) made mlpol.net, so we could keep the ride going.
>>319555well that's pretty neat, so atlas is the site admin then?
>>319556Atlas is no longer with us, sadly. Site ownership has been transferred to Pupper, the head developer.
>>319540What would be a good day (plus time) for you frien?
>>319569Oh jeez, I'm not sure. I'm so busy these days.
Tbh, maybe that's partially a mistake I made for not wanting to switch mediums from the old cytube things we used to do, but I find myself occupied with prior obligations almost every evening.
I guess I should try to attend some week, for old time's sake.
>>319569I'd be able to make it monday nights
>>319570>>319572Which program would you prefer (or suggest something): I replay the previous mlp movie selection from last Friday or do a new selection that would be also played this Friday?
>>319377>>319604So replay of movie time is happening / going to happen if/when anyone shows up. Just uhh post something somewhere.
>>319428sorry it's just that everytime i joined it's the mlp movie and im like where is the comfy episode watching with muh horse bros :(
>>319604>>319614>>319570Since I missread the IDs whenever during the week I can play the stream. It might be a little empty maybe not.
>>319630OP, the herd is asking for episodes.
The movie as an opening should be moved to the end.
>>319633Didn't want anyone to miss out on poner episode time. Moving the movie to the end sounds like a good idea (previously it was at both ends).
>>319637And the opening perhaps should be a movie like Football used to stream, bonus points if that movie has hoers.
>>319637I'm more interested in the episode viewing. I've already seen the movie like 20-something times.
episodes = more pony frens in stream
For Movie Night the playlist is currently unless there are suggestions
National Treasure 2 (revenge of the glowniggers)
Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost
Season 8 1 - 5: The Infestation Saga!
MLP The Rainbow Roadtrip Movie
MLP The Movie
>>319684Theres been a dedicated mlp stream in the past. The only thing barring up to episodes every day or whichever day is anon stepping up and making it happen. No one is advocating for less episodes
>>319685WOOP. okay now we're talking OP! Thanks for listening to us anons, we appreciate it
Is the dual chat worth having?
Other times / days of the week?
>off topic question
How do you feel about streaming of different content for times other than movie night.
>>319769>How do you feel about streaming of different content for times other than movie night.Don't try to bite off more than you can chew.
>>319769Back in the beforetime there were weekly philosophy/psychology streams (lots of Jordan Peterson), anime, mlp, cartoons, and movies. It would not be unprecedented for there to be a non-mlp night/stream, but if one goes the way of benisarea they will be disavowed and/or stricken
>>319769>Is the dual chat worth having?Dual chat? More than one live chat service for a small stream? Splitting a stream's viewership when there are usually less than 20 people in it sounds like a bad idea to me. I didn't think that anyone would see that as being a positive.
>Other times / days of the week?Wednesday evenings and Thurs/Fri are tough days for me. Saturday or Sunday are good. I can probably swing almost any time then. Other weeknights, depending on the time, also work for me.
>How do you feel about streaming of different content for times other than movie night.I'd be a bit concerned about scattering the viewership a bit too much if we did that. I'm open to the idea, but it might cost a lot of time and organization effort on your part compared to the amount of community engagement you'd get.
>>319777>I'd be a bit concerned about scattering the viewership a bit too much if we did that.Checked.
Yup, the point of saturation will be reached very soon.
>>319769>How do you feel about streaming of different content for times other than movie night.I would like to see more documentaries or educational stuff on interesting things.
>>319685Same time same place. Going to try a different kind of preshow for a bit live. (Gameplay of pone being violated by hard fast things that may burst with loat of moving sand. Noita but with pony.) Aka now.
5:30 PST (aka 8:30 EST or 7:30 CST)Movies actually start whenever people actually want them to start.
https://www.joshwhotv.com/live/0/_60b1994a187f3/1https://cytu.be/r/OccultFacade >>319931>>319935In the mean time the dating Sunset tries get power.
>>319940Got caught up in a couple of other things, but I am making haste!
>>319945>>319943sorry for the technical difficulties earlier
I suggested that we start showing some fandom videos in between the MLP episodes. We're watching two different recap series'. One with MS Paint, and another "Totally Legit Recap" series. It's fun, and it's going over well. I think we should stick with it.
>>319962I disagree, those videos are disruptive and frustrating. They extent Movie Night beyond the time allocated and delay what the poners want, either the movies, or the episodes.
Better straight to the cheese as always has been.
Thank you everyone for coming.
Should there be a Saturday movie night? Or other day?
>>319962>>319966Going to trim the excess back. While having thematic buffers is interesting it is a buffer to do other stuff and consumes more time. A time to watch them would be good, and it'll be taken more into consideration.
There were lots of good times had even with the impromptu additions, and my poking around with stuff didn't help matters. Such as audio and resolution issues.
>>319962I like them a lot, though maybe showing two videos after every episode is excessive. It's like a dessert.
>Saturday movie night
One a week is enough for me personally. I wouldn't be able to make it to Saturday.
Also I just found out that Rainbow Roadtrip was actually produced in Ireland, explaining not only the Irish accent but why it felt very wholesome. I actually prefer it to the MLP movie since the plot was less ambitious and it felt like an extended episode.
>>319987>me personallyAnd what about those that cant make the stream? Shit outta luck? Oh well, better luck next time?
There is no prohibition on hosting media streams. There is no authorization process, if u wanna stream ponies on whatever day, then by all means stream ponies.
Movie night used to be on sat and/or sunday, so dont 'hold to tradition'
>>319966I disagree with you.
Having two different movies plus a bunch of episodes plus the handful of short recap videos makes for a very long movie night, I agree. I think that if we're to cut things down, then we should cut one of the movies.
A movie night with one movie, a bunch of episodes, and one recap video after each episode sounds like it would take a more reasonable amount of time.
The main draws of the movie night are a regular hangout, a slice of non-pony content, and pony content. I think that fandom videos like the recap ones fit perfectly in this.
Going from 8:30 at night to 3:30 or 4am is excessive and really hard to sustain. I think that 4 hours would be a big enough amount of time to be satisfying, and would still allow for a bunch of content.
How does the streamer manage the streams? It looks like you run some sort of screen capture program and stream stuff from the internet while also watching your own stream in the chatrooms. How do you do the website integration? If I could get a rundown of how the streaming was done on a technical level, then I could maybe look at getting a stream up and running of my own. There are plenty of types of content to stream, so I don't think they'd look too similar. I don't know if I'd be doing it regularly, but it'd be interesting to try running a stream.
Who was using CyTube? Why use Cytube instead of JoshWhoTV? I have a second browser specifically so I can go to the JoshWhoTV streams, so I can understand not liking the technical hurdles. It just seems like cutting the chatroom population in half cuts down on the fun.
>>319971>Should there be a Saturday movie night? Or other day?I think something on the weekend might be easier to make for a lot of people. For one, it could be scheduled to be at a time where people don't have to be awake at ridiculous hours compared to their normal work-sleep schedule. At the very least, I think it's worth a trial run. If I figure out how to do it, then I'm willing to try hosting one.
>>320043Why are they not able to make the stream? Is it on too late, or is it on during a day where they have other commitments?
Tomorrow (or now of enough people want to its the same time as yesterday) I'll be doing the exact same stream (and extract same line up) at... whatever time is good. Maybe again next weekend as well to get a feel for the times people are able to be here.
>>320056>How does the streamer manage the streams?Using joshwhotv I take the stream from OBS (they have instructions for that integration, and VLC player) and then I embed the joshwhotv steam (it's in the options tab after clicking Go Live).
Because it's only going through one place, the only difference would be the chatrooms for either.
>Who was using CyTube? Why use Cytube instead of JoshWhoTV?So
My Computer -> Joshwhotv -> Cytube (or where ever you want your stream embeded)
Doing it that way is so far the simplest way to extend the stream with no other additions.
So OpenBroadcastS while it has its flaws is open to everyone, all the other stuff is built in functionality that OBS (and importantly VLC for automation and autoplay).
OBS is also old enough to be extensively documented multiple times in different ways that would suit your needs.
The setup time to quickly do stuff is maybe 15 minutes. There's some...
interesting little quirks about the program but nothing that is absolutely fatal.
https://www.joshwhotv.com/menu/faqhttps://www.joshwhotv.com/v/1443?channelName=JoshWho+TVOtherwise it's straight foward.
Most of my technical issues stem from me trying something new and messing around beforehand that persist onward accumulating until it becomes a problem.
With that said I think making the Cytube the main movie host sounds like a good idea if I figure out how to get picture uploading to be nice (because it has emotes... and that's about it). Only thing is Joshwhotv chat supports uploading local pictures into chat as is and it'd the first place the stream goes to, the delay for either is almost none compared with each other two sites.
Either way both are pretty easy to get into. Having only the chat for either is also nice, so if one site isn't nice for the device the other one might be. For an easier viewing experience for everyone.
>>320063My reasoning is that it appears to be the most widely compatible for many people.
And it does make sense to have everyone is one location for more memery and funposting. Then it's just a question of which place is more fun.
>>320063>>320064It's a pain and a half currently online images can be pasted into cytube chat. The line embeder is over zealous. But overall not terrible, actually pretty good.
>>320064>CytubeI like Cytube but I can't use it, no matter what browser I use, it causes 100% CPU usage plus a memory leak in my main browser.
So, I'm stuck with the crappy Joshwhotv.
>>320089Idea!
I will try Palemoon, Librewolf and Falkon next time.
>>320090Hop on whenever to test them out it (the specific cytube page/channel) should always be open.
>>320090>>320078If you don't mind me asking what is your main browser?
>>320093Just found out through rumors that System1 (data harvesting company) owns the company that owns Waterfox. This may or may not be true. And probably prone to error.
>>320091Okay, I believe I found a solution.
Falkon gave me an average of 35% CPU use
Vivaldi and Librewolf around 45%
So, Cytube will be my next Movie Night.
>>320098Yes, I confirm, Waterfox is riddled with spyware, but I use it because of the addons. It is hard and time consuming to migrate to a different browser and get the equivalent addons.
>>320099Dang that's...
While I can't confirm how private Epic browser (chromium) actually is it's another browser if you need something like that.
>>320101>Epic browserI just researched it and I didn't like what I saw.
It is the product of a private enterprise and the visible spokeperson is the direct product of American universities, a NO-NO.
>>320102Makes sense.
>>320099The current setup so far does work so no pressure.
>>319940Any who shooting for running a rerun today for those who missed it or want to watch the same things again.
Otherwise more shitposting.
>>320162Speaking of rerun, doing Noita with pony mod (and maybe other mods...) as a preshow again mostly to get a feel for the broadcasting software in different circumstances.
>>320164Currently running assload of mods with Applejack the bringer of Apple flavored doom.
Any interest in doing an /mlpol/ streaming of the G5 movie?
>>320166I'd watch it. I want to know if it's as bad as anticipated.
Rerun Movie time is habbening!
National Treasure 2
https://cytu.be/r/OccultFacade>>320175Currently on Scooby-doo and the witch's ghost.
Anyway due to Monday coming around the corner and such movie night is cut a little short.
