Grumpy: Go running Python

Re:Grumpy: Go running Python by zardeh on Wednesday January 04, 2017 @03:44PM (#13321861)

You could perhaps write a feature-bare clone. Here's some basic features:

    - search (the various search pages)
    - trending
    - channels
    - subscription
    - video uploads
    - history
    - comments
    - likes
    - upload
    - video editing (most of this is in browser, but still)
    - livestream
    - video analytics
    - payment and ad management
    - video comment review and moderation
    - translation
    - captioning
    - video replication, multiscaling, caching, and resolution management based on network speed
    - video recommendation
    - cards, overlays, annotations, etc.
    - music and sound effect search
    - antispam
    - dmca and copyright tooling

And that was 5 minutes of poking around.

Not so much a feature of YouTube as it is a feature of HLS/Dash... but yes, it means you've gotta transcode the source video into multiple different bitrates.

Even outside of that, I can override the bitrate in some instances. But yeah, I was mainly talking about the necessary replication, cache, and transcoding (and I actually forgot about the multiple codecs, which they also provide, in addition to multiple resolutions/bitrates)
