no. i used a throwaway 10minutemail account, and had no problems signing in. you have to pay to use the chat feature though. i'm using firefox. maybe other browsers might have problems with the site idk
Thanks, turns out it was my piece of shit email provider silently blocking the verification emails or something. Re-registered using 10minutemail and the verification arrived instantly, if anyone else has problems, try this.
 
Is there some kind of paywall on the fishtank.live site? I'm having trouble verifying my email but if I'm gonna have to throw shekels to watch anyway then I'm not even gonna bother.
No paywall, but their system is just struggling with the amount of sign ups. You can wait or try again and you'll likely get in working. The site is bad though, and hogs cpu (suspected likely crypto mining).
You can also play the streams directly using MPV or VLC. This pastebin link has the URLs and if you save it as a playlist you should be able to hit skip to cycle through all cams. https://pastebin.com/LNk5B4T2
 
does anyone know how the site performs on mobile? Don't have access to test it rn but soon imma have to use it
 
Anyone wanna place bets on which fish ends up with a kf thread first? fat pig thing is a given at this point.
simmons for sure also, pretends he acts like he isnt a sperg and immediately tries to take control when he comes on. He also has a 10k average following on tiktok and insta with tons of content already there.

I was watching on my lunch break and it worked half decently, your mileage may vary though.

I missed the Sam intro, I hope somebody archived it. Why the fuck is the slampig up at 4AM?
Here you go. Honestly, incredibly cringe imo. Don't need his demonic autism to put people on edge, they're already entertaining as is.
Same youtube channel has a bunch of other clips btw.

Also, if any admins or mods are around, 90% of the posts in this thread would be better suited in a chat. Is making a separate fishtank.live chat a possibility?
 
It runs all 10 video feeds at the same time, so likely horrendously
i guess i'm really in the minority, because the site runs really well for me. it's not as if i have great internet or anything either. very average internet speed, and a pretty average computer.
no clue why i got lucky, but i won't complain
Video streams can use a massive amount of resources if your system is a little older and the CPU doesn't support hardware acceleration for the codec used. Learned that the hard way when setting up CCTV systems with a lot of cameras.
If that is the case and the site really does run all 10 video feeds at the same time, it wouldn't be a surprise to run like shit.
 
Does anyone know what the book in the living room was?
Schizo theory but I wonder if there's foreshadowing for a future trap in it...

Also, someone in the /tv/ thread had a cool theory that there's crazy shit written on the walls in invisible ink and a blacklight will appear some ways in.
 
Just a couple of things to note:

  • Fishtoys and TTS go live today at 6pm EST
  • They won't do any kind of inteference while Nick is streaming; he streams for three hours beginning at 7PM EST on Tuesdays and Thursdays

It doesn't hog my CPU power, so I don't think a miner is involved.

Have no issues either. The signup was pretty annoying though. But I think singing up is going to get better from now on. A fuckton of people were online at the start of the stream.

I have severe autism and ended up writing a script which automatically sets up all 10 cameras using i3 and mpv. If you use i3 on Linux and also have autism, might be useful.

Bash:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

# Sets up the Fishtank camera grid like:
# |    Living room    |     Kitchen     |   Laundry room       |
# |  Bedroom 1  |   Bedroom 2   |   Bedroom 3   |  Bedroom 4   |
# |    Garage    |  Hallway (downstairs)  | Hallway (upstairs) |
# Double click to focus a view. Press M to toggle mute. Starts all of the feeds muted by default.
# Uses compressor to make the feeds more audible.
# Run this on a workspace that doesn't have anything else on it.

MPV_OPTS=("--mute" "--no-terminal" '--af=lavfi="acompressor=mode=upward"')

spawn_video_in_background() {
  AREA="$1"
  mpv "${MPV_OPTS[@]}" --x11-name="fishtank-$AREA" "https://d27j2syygqshcy.cloudfront.net/live/$AREA/chunks.m3u8" &
}

do_for_area() {
  AREA="$1"
  shift
  i3-msg "[instance=fishtank-$AREA]" "$@"
}
