Featured on Apr 29, 2026 by Null: Site Update: Videos are now post-processed and auto-subtitled and translated.

(the audio being bad is my own fault)

Someone ("K") gave me $6000 to fix our videos with. So, now when you upload a video it will enter a queue for processing. When it finishes, your video will get the "Kiwi Tube" player as above. This should also help with issues where videos people upload don't work on certain browsers or devices. Now, everything should work.

The system supports multiple codecs. Right now: 360p H.264, 480p H.264, 720p H.264, and 1080p AV1. It encodes in 360p and AAC as immediately as possible, and will work its way up in the queue to 1080p AV1 with OPUS. While it is queue, you will have the option to play the original video with your browser's player.

I have also tinkered with uploading and today successfully uploaded a 1.21GB copy of the Matt Jarbo boulder stream. It processed correctly and I was able to scrub through 6 hours of it without issue or significant buffering.

If you have feedback or issues please poost it here.
There is a download icon in the top-right. This is how you download the video. The video you download is the original upload without any modificaiton.


Remember to support the site because it lets me spend time doing things that actually improve the site.

I ended up going with 3x NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada in an existing machine, swapping our the blowers for a small company's copper passive coolers.

TO-DO / KNOWN ISSUES:
1. Automatic subtitling is coming. The ADAs can handle AI transcribing and I will be exploiting that.
2. Constrain vertical height on 9/16 videos.
3. Graceful restarts of media processor. Some videos were skipped because of this, will need to fix.

Assuming there was supposed to be a video here, I'd say the implementation is a resounding success!

Yes, that's what that means. There's some rights issues between Apple, Android, and Windows and between Chrome and FireFox, so certain combinations of OS and Browser support different media formats. H.264+AAC is supported on everything going back like 20 years. It should work universally after it gets through that low quality 360p pass.
