My mental model is that when the tutorial was written there was one file, now TG4 have gotten more cautious and split it up into tiny one-second segments. Is this hypothesis right?
The Media Presentation Description (MPD) is a document that contains metadata required by a DASH Client to construct appropriate HTTP-URLs to access Segments and to provide the streaming service to the user.
Not quite. What you see is normal. Browsers look at MPD documents to know where to download video segments. They then play these video segments. You probably saw a 5 second long video segment that displays the TG4 logo.
DevTools only record network traffic after you open the DevTools. So maybe try to open the DevTools, refresh the page, and play the video. You’re looking a link that starts with manifest.prod.boltdns.net/manifest/v1/…/bccenc and ends with manifest.mpd. Here’s the decryption key id and key itself at the time of writing, separated by a colon:
If people give up on maintainable solutions like Wayland, then there’s no way in hell anyone picks up Xorg ever again. My Xorg issues remain wontfix. Wayland issues are now wontfix. Nobody works on Wayland and Xorg. Linux desktop is officially dead. I either switch back to Windows or buy a MacBook. I won’t invest time into an ecosystem that’s destined to die a slow, but guaranteed death.
I’m sure a lot of people try to hold onto their beloved abandonware to keep their Linux desktop alive, but why should AMD, Intel and NVIDIA care about Linux desktop now that the Linux community doesn’t have enough fucks to give to maintain Linux desktop? May as well save driver development costs and drop Wayland and Xorg support from future graphics cards.
