content: I'm getting sick and tired of Google's shenanigans (Youtube Heros, demonetization, restricted videos, etc) and was wondering if there was a (official) way to watch EEVblog without using Youtube?Thanks

content: Quote from: EEVblog on August 09, 2017, 04:41:42 amI haven't searched for such apps, but I'm fairly sure that something like that must already exist. In that case, might not be worth the effort.Edit: A quick search finds some tools, but most are premium. If there isn't a good app for this already, and if you decide to write one to fill the void, perhaps consider releasing it?

content: I think that you can upload to them. As I recall, my Podcast years ago I uploaded there. (The Buckeyecast...the early "test" ones are still there) and I did that with software that I downloaded from them. It wouldn't suprise me though, if they have an automatic component to that these days.73 and All the Best!DE W8LV BillSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

content: How the Rights work on that if they uploaded it directly from YouTube is beyond me... Who would own the Rights...Dave, YouTube, Archive.Org, or Nobody?The whole "Creative Commons" thing was in its infancy then... No idea now..does anybody know?

content: I had a strange experience today. I started one of the EEVBLOG videos and there was a Tek scope and a voice I recognized as W2AEW talking about it. I thought --WHAT?? did you tube show me the wrong video?Then I realized it was a Tek advertisment....
