Now this is weird.

These mp4s worked yesterday.

Today they say "404"

This can't be real. What is going on.

sigh

It seems it was just archiving player code and the actual video didn't get archived :(

>>19604

Now this gets even weirder

This archived mp4 is actually on the wayback machine website:

The video is

http://web.archive.org/web/20200714100855if_/https://media.8kun.top/file_store/d168ce02340a4e7ef96d50fd6576bd9b1843168b6b45894ee4db3770b35ce83b.mp4

Maybe it only stores videos up to a specific size?

You simply get the MP4/WEBM URL by right-clicking on the URL after "File".

For example for my last post that would be:

https://media.8kun.top/file_store/a5ef73ba049811ef59fde1eded68eb5cd34a0ac6239ed6c734ed4e2c6b1ea629.mp4

You then archive that link and you are done.

This will only work for wayback machine. Archive.Today doesn't archive videos.

>How to verify

Just get a URL of one of the threads in the catalog. I'm archiving the lower 80% of the catalog each day. So grab a link of a thread, then look up that URL on archive.today as well as on wayback machine.

For wayback machine go here:

https://web.archive.org

and enter that URL. An up-to-date archive should exist.

Same for https://archive.today

And for wayback machine you look for MP4s within that thread and click on the same link as before (first link right after "File"). That should also point to the archived video.

I can't verify every single thread, it would be helpful if a few anons would check randomly.

I'm not from US and for my country I would have to make my real name visible on the site at least for now which is a big no-no. I don't want visits from Antifa.

Also hosting videos would require tons of bandwidth, which means it would get expensive.

I would also have to upload everything, and my internet connection sucks especially for uploading and when these people can censor content on wayback machine and archive.today, they surely can get rid of a website.

I could look into uploading automatically to bitchute, if that's even possible. But bitchute is censoring videos as well, not many but they do. And even if this worked out, the original video URLs would have to be used to find these videos.

I could also look into automatically uploading to mega, but that's also not safe and I would also still have to upload everything which takes ages.

Oh well, another idea would be to upload to anonfiles.com, but these URLs go down after 6 months if no one accessed them.

I could in theory upload there and access every URL every few months, still I don't even know if you have to just access the anonfiles-URL, or if you need to download the content as well.

And for that one would have to same issues like for bitchute - how to link original video URLs and anonfiles-URLs together.

>>19699

I forgot to mention that the JSON data should be verified as well.

For example this thread URL is:

https://8kun.top/comms/res/18935.html

And the JSON data is accessible using

https://8kun.top/comms/res/18935.json

(replace .html with .json)

Please verify that both URLs exist in the archives. JSON data can be used by programs.

>6 months anonfiles.com

Update:

https://anonfiles.com/faq

I'm surprised. This was waived.

It's unlimited.
