As someone who has only used ffmpeg for very trivial scenarios this was really interesting to listen to. It's nice knowing it's getting a proper refactor (not that I knew much of its internals until now)


I've been using this for years to download YouTube videos when I go on trips, it makes it super easy since you can just share the link directly from YouTube to NewPipe and it'll pop up a neat download UI to select quality and threads to use.

Really great app for that purpose, although I will say I just used ReVanced for general YouTube browsing on my phone.


I believe the one thing i see lacking for newpipe is viewing livestreams. Revanced is the way to go for a good youtube experience, but i use newpipe for downloading and saving a video offline.


I've watched livestreams in newpipe. A few hours after it ended I used new pipe again to download the whole thing to see the parts I missed (new pipe wouldn't let me rewind to the start of the livestream after I joined)


v0.26.0 (the next release) should support viewing livestreams. See https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/10471


I can view live streams in NewPipe 0.25.2 and I think I airways did.

This is a live stream I just watched to check that it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydYDqZQpim8

It's a water pool in the Namib desert, so safe for work


Confirmed, with seeking.

There were times in the past where this was not the case, but it was likely 0.24 or before.


This is what I love about the MX Master 3, it's like a hybrid for this where it has precision scrolling when moving it slowly but give it a flick and it will automatically unlock and go into smooth scrolling. https://youtu.be/KTzZui0nrrs

I wish this feature was on more mice


> I wish this feature was on more mice

Logitech owns a patent[0] on this mechanism which prevents it from being incorporated in other products (without licensing it).

[0] https://patents.google.com/patent/US20110227828A1/en

> The present invention generally relates to a control device, such as a mouse, and more particularly relates to multi-mode roller for a control device having a selectable smooth-roller mode and a ratchet-roller mode.


I find this feature annoying and am very unhappy when it randomly activates due to some driver bug (requiring me to open the Logitech software and possibly reboot the mouse).


Yeah I’m addicted to it. I can't use any other mouse since trying the Mx Master 3 scroll wheel.


I switched to an Elecom huge trackball and miss that wheel every single day.

A year ago I figured out I could use a spare button to toggle using the trackball itself for free scroll, total game changer, but still miss that wheel.


MX Anywhere 3 also has this, the only ambidextrous option!


No. It's fake ambidextrous like most of Logitech's mice. It has buttons only usable by the right thumb and a subtle change in shape to accommodate them. The G903 is actually ambidextrous letting you customize whether you want buttons on the left or right side and still has the same sort of scroll wheel (although not automatic but I hate that feature anyways).


I click forward/back with my ring finger, but I guess it depends on your grip how achievable that is.
