Title: I was interviewed regarding electric motorcycles on Facebook
Post by: JaimeC on May 16, 2020, 01:57:12 AM
John Colandrea created the "31 Day Virtual Motorcycle Rally" as an answer to our current situation.  Today I was interviewed regarding my thoughts and experiences riding electric.  This shortened URL will take you to the Facebook site:  https://is.gd/touu6D

If you can't see the Facebook page, I've uploaded the interview to my club's webpage: https://is.gd/0fNYVM

First link is locked, the second link is Facebook doesn't share video to non-members.

(This is how they avoid DMCA takedowns)

Both links work fine for me, although I'm signed in to Facebook. Crissa, do you mean a non-member of the group (I'm not either) or that you don't have a Facebook account at all?

First link was Facebook.  Second link had NOTHING to do with Facebook so I'm not sure what you're talking about??

Well, they must use a similar player then, you're right, it doesn't resolve to Facebook.

Oh, I see, the player has a typo in the URL.  It's running in a directory but the videos are up one directory.  So it can't find the video.

The video is being recorded at the far end of the stream? ^-^

PS:  Thanks for linking the video!

As long as you're seeing the video that's fine but when I click on the second link the video pops right up in a player window.  BUT if you're using an Apple product I can see the issue as Apple doesn't support the VP9 codec (they're the ONLY ones... everyone else does).

Nice interview JaimeC.  You have a lot more fortitude than me.  I don't know if I would bounce back after multiple accidents.  I'm praying I don't have to make that decision.

Well, it's not like it was one accident after the other.  And that last one was the first time I was actually injured badly.  I just knew I had to get back on a bike and I had to get another Zero.  Everything else was just "waiting."

Yeah, I just scooped out the content URL and downloaded the video to my own player.

Macs are fairly robust if you know the insides.  And have a decent player like VLC.
