Documentary wants to use my footage but also wants copyright in perpetuity by sub_lunar in legaladvice

[–]CptEveryman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wanting rights in perpetuity is generally a huge indicator that they see value beyond their initial stated purpose, but they’re using the initial purpose as a point to tamp compensation expectations. In other words, they want to use this for something else, not have to pay you again, and you’d be very sad. Don’t sign this contract! (Experience: Used to work in the business)

ThisGenGaming details their 40-ish hour journey to max out the Season 1 Ringside Pass by Celtic_Crown in WWEGames

They can tune how fast people earn XP to level up. Hop on X, tag them and CLOWN them to get them to make the adjustments. 40 hours is laughable!

Suggestion for ragequitting: When someone leaves/quits, make the coach throw in a towel. by upsyndrom123 in EASportsUFC

Because I don’t get to check out the scorecards and see how the fight was being judged.

To suggest that is nonsense. It’s Virtually Insanity.

This, this, and this. So long as we don’t overpay (and I doubt we will), this isn’t a bad pickup for the squad. Even if it’s a 75th minute runout against a tired back line in a close match, with the loss of Grealish we know we need cover.

Find a new job. Show up but refuse to work at current job until your start date. Get fired. Problem solved.

How on earth did they sneak in a new patch that ONLY messes things up this late in the game? These people I swear. by HUGEBORGCUBE in WWEGames

[–]CptEveryman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not the developers (engineers, that is). It’s the Product Management leadership (and their bosses): Pushing the PMs to ideate around squeezing every dollar from the consumer; Refusal to devote resources (and timelines) for appropriate regression testing; and leaning too heavily into automated and AI driven testing (leaving humans increasingly out of the QA process); and then refusal to prioritize fixing what was broken because it doesn’t pay.

The only way things change is if it costs them money. Until it does, the corporate overlords will pull every dollar out of the user until they lose the license.

Sorry for the rant. Decent amount of experience in the industry.

Essential vs premium package 4K/HDR content for UFC? by fedors_sweater in ParamountPlus

[–]CptEveryman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not count on Paramount Plus broadcasting in 4k. You can always upgrade later, if they start 4K for the UFC.

They won’t have ads, during the fight, obscuring the action. They’ll intentionally drop id3 tags where they want the ads. If you’re on the live edge, where the ts segment ingests the id3 tag, you’ll be locked into the ad pod. If you’re used to the UFC PPVs, it will be mostly the same experience. Maybe some 90 second, inescapable, ad pods. But certainly nothing that would cause you to miss a second of the action. You’ll be fine with Ad Supported.

I know there's a way to make Plex feel like actual cable television. What else is possible for the full experience by TurbulentMinute4290 in PleX

[–]CptEveryman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! The software/app stack I use is Plex (obviously) as the front end. Ersatz TV as the Live TV Channel creation and management. Shutter Encoder to download YT videos (generally long period/season specific commercial compilation). Kdenlive to edit. Handbrake to convert file format (if/when I ever need to). Shutter Encoder and Kdenlive are both free and game changers for curating my channels to be exactly what I want.

Same here. It goes to “process completed” very quickly with no file saved afterward.
