  • Having dealt with a few it seems nobody really cares about specs and just implements something that returns a token.

    The result is you end up doing a load of work every single time and none of that can be used for anyone else’s implementation.

    I get the idea of oauth, but the implementations needed a whole lot less wiggle room, because it turns out when you’re a massive corporation every other poor bastard just has to adapt to your nonsense.









  • That and DVDs were like £3 most of the time. I’d always be picking up stuff just for the hell of it. Got shelves full of them.

    Blu-rays and especially 4K Blu-rays were pretty much always full price of £20. That’s at least a whole month of any streaming service and sometimes two. Plus I can barely tell any difference between streaming and disc, especially on the picture quality. The audio is more noticeable, but not worth £20 a movie.

    The current streaming services will slowly decline as well until they realise they need to switch to a music industry model where nearly everything is on every service. I installed Jellyfin ages ago, and the experience of just having one service to look through is so much better than dipping into half a dozen apps to see if any of them have what you want to watch.

    I know what I’m after as an experience, it’s up to them if they want to provide it at a reasonable price.
