/MLPOL/ Watch Party Part 4: We Endure/MLPOL/ Watch Party Part 4: We Endure
The horrors persist, but so do we.
Welcome, newfags and oldfags. This is a thread about a weekly get-together some of us like to do on Fridays.
Account registration is not required.
Starting at around 7:00pm EST (8:00pm Central Time), and continuing until the end of the night.
Cytube is the current site hosting the Watch Parties, and the normal room is
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl . This may be subject to change, so double check the announcement post in the thread.
These nights consist of going to a website with a video player and a chatroom and having a good time. The format we're using lately starts with the first hour being a series of pony animations and music. This is followed with a couple episodes of a show, then we switch over to a livestream portion for a brief intermission, followed by a series of classic shorts, followed by a movie, followed by two episodes of another show, followed by MLP episodes, then the room is usually pretty open to whatever.
The mood of the nights is “Good Vibes”, and we tend to like more classic content compared to a lot of what's on offer these days.
Feel free to swing by at some point after people filter in.

Oh, wow. The 4chan hack definitely shook things up.
While we're here, if any curious newcomers, or regulars, want to ask any questions about the Watch Parties, feel free to ask.
Also, feel free to make requests for this week. I want to put something together that's a little special, but don't quite know what will suit the occasion.
>>383660Forgot my name/trip.
Here when relevant, not used when not relevant.
>>383660I just wanna lurk.
and be but ass naked in my bedroom.
But with 4chan gone, my bedpan has been filling up out of angst.
>>383660I'll probably check this out on friday. How long does it usually go on for?
>>383664That can work. The room's population usually isn't active enough to have a potluck most nights, so I almost always go with pre-made playlists.
>>383678The nights go from about 7pm Eastern time and then for 5-6 hours. That said, it's common enough for people to keep the room going and watch a bunch of other stuff until after the sun comes up. Time zones are weird.
I don't enforce an end time. Once the pre-planned content ends, I'll either put on some agreed-upon other episodes of a show or will open the list for a Potluck where people can suggest their own videos. I normally start to crash towards the end of the night, so I won't be able to be as attentive. I'll have to leave it to one of the mods. Or, if there's a huge upswing in population, I'll try nominating one of the regulars as another mod. Someone who can stay up super late.
This week the movie section of the night will be out, so I'll be figuring something else to do. We definitely won't have the regular shorts and episode leading in to the movie, followed by ponies, but I'll be poking around with setting a movie or some other series' up.
If you have some movies from Internet Archive or other streaming site like YT or Rumble to plug in to the CyTube room, then feel free to suggest them.
>>377109Looks fun
I have the idea of shilling this around the bunker sites so there can be an crosssite exchange between this watch party and the rewatch stream
On friday the nor/mlp/eople can join your stream and on saturday you can join ours
Would you be ok with that?
>>383998raising awareness of mlpol is just a good idea in general; of the varios altchans I've been scouring, this place has the most potential.
>>383683I have a growing interest to do a cytube of Epic the Musical, but don't think that should be the dedicated feature of a movie stream and will probably opt for a Saturday or Sunday
>>383998OP would be fine with it i'm sure.
>>383998I'd appreciate it.
I might have to start putting the start time of the stream on in UTC or some other universal time code, so people don't have to do mental math if they're in a different time zone.
Happy Good Friday, everyone! Both to the regulars and to the newfrens.
This is your reminder that in just a little more than six (6) hours, we'll have one of our wonderful weekly traditions. A Watch Party! It's not a livestream, it's an hour of pony fan content, some episodes of tv shows, a movie, and then pony episodes.
The idea is to get a pre-made block of programming so we can all hang out in the chatroom for a few hours. No registration is necessary, but you do still have to pick a name.
You're also encouraged to pick and post images from PonerPics in the chat for some more lively emotes.
I think you'll enjoy the movie picked out for this week.
>>384817>11PM GMT startI'm gonna be absolutely hammered by then.
>>384825Then glorious shitposting will be done!
I have last week's playlist for the first half currently running in the room if anyone wants to pop in for a sample.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl Kind of shitty timing considering the sudden influx of new people, but I’m at Babscon this week and won’t be able to stream anything tonight. If someone else can fill in for my portion this week I would appreciate it, the regular program will resume next week.
How late do these streams usually stay active? I'd love to pop in but I don't get off work until like 3 hours after the stream starts.
>>384887The streams usually go for about four to six hours. If people are still feeling up to it, we go for longer.
The movie this week will start about two hours and twenty minutes after we start the Watch Party.
The second portion of the night usually starts off with an intermission, several shorts, and then an old TV show, and then the movie. I haven't timed that, but our normal movie portion guy is out this week.
>>384876I got some sources for the movie portion of the night. I had some help finding a show and a movie on Archive.org.
We got you covered, Elway. Have an /mlpol/ gathering for us!
for shits and giggles I set up an IRC channel on irc.canternet.org #mlpol
People who haven't used IRC before or don't remember anything about it, IRC is one of the oldest group chat protocols in existence that has IRC clients for every device and platform imaginable.
Hexchat is probably the best "normal" all-around desktop client. -
https://hexchat.github.io/I've included a couple screenshots to help out, it is very easy though.
After hexchat is installed, just put in whatever nickname you want, if the nickname is already chosen then it falls back to the second or third. There is also a list of popular networks, Canternet is already in the list.
You can just select that and join the network, then /join #mlpol after connected to the server, or you can edit the network (where the mouse curser is in the first screen shot) and add the channel to automatically connect to that channel when joining the network.
There are quite a few additional options and things that can be done, but all that is optional. registering an account and username is totally optional.
>>384966Use a VPN prior to connecting, as Canternet doesn't mask your connection IP
>>383660Never been to the /mlpol/ streams, how do you decide on whats loaded. Is it like a mysterybox stream where you never know what you're going to get? Does the community have a say in what to watch?
>>384990The idea is that it's a pre-made program of content. The first couple of nights ended with me spending more time managing things than actually being in the stream night.
After the pre-made stuff is over, I'm fine with putting other stuff in. There are some people who want to make sure they show up specifically in time for the movie, and adding more content before the movie messes with the time.
The first hour-ish is where we have the most content and the most variety. Then it's longer form content, then a movie. On normal nights, after the first hour and episode, there's usually an intermission where we start off with old animations, an old show, then a movie and a few other things. Check out
>>382808 for an example.
Shorter videos and songs I'm fine with adding, but stuff that's 10+ minutes can throw off the schedule.
We'll have space after the pony episodes after the movie, if you can stay up that long. That'll be for the longer videos.
The main issue is when people are just sitting in and not actively adding enough content, I have to do that myself. That takes away my ability to enjoy the stream myself.
>>384999Got it, I may not make it around the first hour or two but I'll check it out at some point. I didn't really get involved in the emotespam of /mlp/ streams and preferred watching an occasional movie or listened to tunes with mlp's /bootleg watch2together. I've done some of my own cytube stream setups before so I know it can be a hassle to get everything ready.
>>384966We are watching the China Show right now. It's a fantastic show digging into what china government is doing
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl Welcome, Regulars and Newfrens!
This sure is an interesting day. We had a bit of a sit-in pre-stream watching random stuff before starting up the stream night, which is a new thing. We're also doing something a little different for the second part of the stream to keep the whole event on CyTube.
We've got our regular mix of music, some short video bumpers, and a couple of videos showcasing /mlpol/'s founding. I've also grabbed a new video from Homestarrunner.com talking about going back to a website.
The big highlight of the week is “Pony Kombat: Fluttershy vs. Derpy” by Space Oddpony that was released just last week.
After this, we have our weekly episode of Farscape, then we'll move on to the second portion of the night, which I'll put in a later post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rhapsody in BlueThe crew finds a colony of Delvians. Z'haan goes down to be with her own people for a while, but one of them wants something from Z'haan and will do almost anything to take it from her~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Pony Theme of the week is /mlpol/ related characters.
See you in the room! We'll be going for around four to six hours, and then we might go further if people are still up.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylhttps://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylhttps://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactylWe're getting closer to the end of Farscape now, and we're moving towards the second phase of the night.

Dan Vs - E2 - New Mexico
Dan has a grudge with New Mexico which leads to a road trip.

I'm putting the playlist for tonight together. It'll be a bit late tonight.
The order is usually Playlist - Ordering - Post - Pictures - Anouncement Posts
I should have my schedule together shortly as well.
Once again we meet, my fine fellows.
Another week is past, and another Watch Party beckons. With the passing of last week's BabsCon, we have a full Watch Party with our regular programming this week. This will affect only the portion of the night after Farscape, wherein we will move to a different website. There's something about how it does the video and audio streaming that makes it hard to pipe into the CyTube room, so that's our current option. I think you'll like the extra variety in programming that it allows us to bring to these events.
In this night we have our regular mix of pony fan music with some bumpers (Nigel and Marmalade bumpers again this week), and we've got some music videos and comic dubs.
Our Farscape episode this week will see us split the party again. What could possibly go wrong?

To go with the Space theme of Farscape, I think tonight's Pony Theme of the Week will be Constellations.
With that, the prep for the week is pretty much ready. See you in the room!

>>387825I was wondering why the stream was just playing the same few files on loop.
>>387803The South Park guys kept making a bunch of different kinds of movies, huh? It might be same-y and corny in a lot of ways, but I'm pretty impressed with their range.

This is an announcement post to remind you that the voting for the top ten pony videos of April has started!
Vote for between five and ten pony videos of 30 seconds or longer! Further details are at the relevant link.
https://www.thetop10ponyvideos.comParticipation helps keep discoverability of fan content rolling!
If you aren't familiar with how this works or what it is, here's a link to the Top Ten Pony Videos for March 2025 (the most recent top ten vid as of this post:

There's also a Top Ten Pony Music channel (mentioned in the YouTube video), a Mastodon account (
https://equestria.social/@TheTop10PonyVideos ), a Dicksword channel, and more besides.
I hope the day is treating you well, and that you remember to swing by tomorrow evening for our weekly Watch Party. I'll try to get a few more of the Top Ten videos on the list.
Hi, hello, how the heck are ya?
Many of us have had one hell of a week, but the Watch Party marches on!
To continue the development of it, I'd like to add a bunch of the videos from last month's Top Ten Pony Videos. A bit more thickening up of the list, and pretty soon we'll have a great evening ahead of us.
We've got several animations from the list, a two part (with alternate ending) Batpony Vampire music series by PrinceWhateverer (alternate ending by Twital), some bumpers, and miscellaneous music. Animations from Agrol, Makaryo, banquo0, Kaciekk, and more are all in here. Furthermore, we have some recent music releases to pack out the time for a well rounded experience.
Tonight's Farscape episode involves the return of Durka. Remember Rygel? The small muppet character who is a deposed royal? This is his torturer whom he's going to meet again. A previous episode suggested that he had died. The crew really can't catch a break.

Durka ReturnsWhen a Starburst goes badly wrong, Moya collides with a Nebari ship. On board is Durka, Rygel's former torturer, who has been mind cleansed and now serves the Nebari.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For tonight's second step forward, I'm re-naming our room! This time, it'll be more descriptive, rather than the more improvised room we had before. I'll spend the first section of the night getting the emotes and plugins up and running.

Hello everyone!
This is an alert that the Watch Party will start a bit later tonight, as something came up IRL that will take a little while. I'm hoping to get things running by about 7:30pm Eastern Time.
Hello all, looks like we'll be getting a bit of a late start tonight, but here is the schedule for the movie portion:
Looney Tunes: The Wise Quacking Duck
Jeeves and Wooster: The Hunger Strike
Short Circuit 2: Electric Boogaloo (1988)
Sequel to the movie we watched last week.

>Ponie:>S2e24 - MMMystery on the Friendship ExpressWe will also be watching the next G% Make Your Mark episode, title is "Growing Pains" I believe.
Alrighty, I clearly underestimated the time involved in that little adventure. To keep things going, I'll say that tonight is a potluck night. I'll just toss a handful of songs or skits in the list, toss an episode of Farscape on, and then we'll move.
Farscape announcement and details later.
https://cytu.be/r/MLPOL-WatchPartyhttps://cytu.be/r/MLPOL-WatchPartyhttps://cytu.be/r/MLPOL-WatchPartyOne warm week of waiting has passed, and now it's time for a full and normally scheduled Watch Party. The FishFuk tiem.
Tonight, our Pony highlights include a three part mini-album by Vylet Pony titled “The Magic Show”. No prizes for guessing which blue cunt of a whorse is featured here. Added on to this is k00l's Pone Thread Simulator 11, and to cap off the pony section, our crown jewel will be Alumx's full Griffon Village animation / music video. It has his characteristic animating style, with that wonderful mix of cutouts and lighting effects.
Our bumpers will include some skits of less than a minute and a couple of skits that are around four minutes long.
Outside of this we have our traditional mix of music and comic dubs.
In this week's Farscape episode, things get a little weird, and this small episode becomes surprisingly important later on.
May your good days be great and your bad days be more bearable.
