/jp/ - Otaku Culture

The previous thread dying caught me off-guard. Why do people become the most active only after the bump limit?
That said, I know I have said it before, but this month I will for sure finally update the github, while going through probably a year of threads.
That said it will be some day past the 15th, before that it won't be very possible.
As I have said before, I will try add categories in one way or another.

>The previous thread dying caught me off-guard.
Same here, only noticed as i was about to post the last post, but then again i never really keep track of the post count.
>Why do people become the most active only after the bump limit?
Just a Friday night with nothing better to do here.
In general i can only record mornings and late nights because of my timezone so unless my sleep schedule is fucked i am not contributing as much these days.

>large temple
>http://www.insecam.org/en/view/24441/
Just noticed, it has been under renovations for years now, it used to be covered by a large scaffolding with outer walls and tarps blocking the view.
I have been waiting for it to be complete, nice to finally see what it looks like.

It's really coming down in Obihiro:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDYhNe46wEk

>>22543485
Same here. It snows far less here than the Sea of Japan coast, but we get the cold they can only dream of. -24 tonight so I'll be in my good blanket.

I'll give that timelapse another attempt and try to cut its framerate/resolution to see if it's possible.

Nice little Aomori airport cam. Seems to have sound too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urSZLadl494

>>22546681
I fuckin love Hokkaido

>>22546784
I mean... Aomori would be pretty upset if you called it Hokkaido anon.....

>>22546858
whoops. I wasn't reading carefully.
Aomori's actually on my list of prefectures I need to travel to, their (Tsugaru) culture is a great interest to me.

If you were curious what they're up to regarding that bridge in Ueda
http://www.ucv.co.jp/program/f201912/mm1203-4.html

Updated my playlist of cams for the first time in a while, feel free to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbHCxvoRop_v39stfc2HF1doVRu8rjHQo
Any videos that are deleted are there for me to remember which to look for when they come back up, only one currently.

>>22546681

>>22547262
Just ribbing you anon.

Aomori is beautiful and the people are chill as anything. If you ever get the chance while you're up there go to Asamushi-Onsen and eat at this shop on the seafront. The piles of Tuna they provide are incredible plus it's an incredibly chilled out little resort. (recommend autumn as it's quiet there then.)

Tsugaru culture is also damn interesting!

>>22548131
A lot of cool stream, but I would guess many often restart and change links.

>>22553976
Yep, that's why I had to go and change all my bookmarks to be channel directories instead.

There seems to be a real proliferation of youtube streams of late, and a bit of monetisation going on as well, I guess it's good.

I usually stream to my 4k TV, not a lot happening this week though.

But I thoroughly enjoyed this despite not understanding a word of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8DcxNZByJY&t=490s

>>22553976
>>22553992
I just follow all the channels, then just scroll through the list to see which are currently streaming, less work than updating a playlist.
But then again i am lazy.

>>22553976
Yes, I try to update them daily or bidaily.

>>22554263
I should do that if I ever make a new email (because fuck allowing people to keep youtube separate from everything else, right) but my subscriptions are padded out enough already.

>>22554242
>There seems to be a real proliferation of youtube streams of late
I think a good number came over from ustream.
>I usually stream to my 4k TV
I need to get one, some of the 4k streams have great views, i hope my connection can handle it.

>>22554811
>because fuck allowing people to keep youtube separate from everything else, right
Don't get me started, youtube has been doing nothing but downhill for a long time now.
I already have facebook blocked both at the router and through host file, i think google might have been next up if it didn't break half the internet doing so these days.
>my subscriptions are padded out enough already.
The ones that are live should come out on the top of the list with a blue dot next to them, at least they do for me, can't remember if i changed anything to get it that way.

>>22555067
yeah the overall consolidation of the internet post-2006 really sucks, man. it's a shame because such a massive power move was only possible because the internet deserves to be unregulated.
about the subs, I know, but my list is already 115 deep from unrelated interests and I think I'm good.

I can't wait for the real winter to arrive.

Thought these were pretty cool, visualizations about time to travel from Tokyo Station i think?
My rune reading skills are next to nothing but that's what i think it is.

morning on osaka airport

Some very comfy railway cams, been watching these all night.

These won't be around forever, track maintenance is abhorred and train
maintenance not much better.

>>22557111
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alupif3HwOg

The views in this is some of the most comfy i have seen in months, but that wobbly camera from time to time kinda ruins it a bit.
Still appreciated that someone took the time to record though, or i would never have the chance to see it at all.

I watched some video on the E7 series. I have never been on a train before, yet it's interesting to hear how insanely quiet the Shinkansen is. I don't mean the passengers, I mean the locomotion is so suppressed it's beautiful.

>>22557666
Also, the E7s damaged in the typhoon a few months ago are being prepared for dismantlement now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGN-UWEHjFE

>>22557719
NO GOD NO reeeee

>>22557941
What is your proposed idea for them since they can't operate?

I know you actually want them to use a jumbo airbus to drop the front end in your yard so you can sleep in it, but what do you actually think would be better.

I wonder if there's a train cab video that goes though Aizu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS6zhTKLnU8&t=1698s

great cab video


does anyone have any of lines near the sea?

>>22542044
Where was this picture taken?

>>22558689
Aizuwakamatsu station, there used to be a live video feed but it was shut down in 2017.

>>22558639
I found this one

https://youtu.be/AaqSqvyxkzw

and not a train but heres a bus view aswell

Yunokami-Onsen

Doing the duo track shuffle

I have been watching a lot of these types of videos lately, as someone that used to do some urban exploration Japan seems like a country of endless opportunities.
Or i would get arrested and deported after 30 minutes because some obaasan across the street saw a filthy gaijin trespassing.

It seems people out in the countryside are a lot more suspicious of outsiders, but actually less likely to call the police and may just come ask what you are doing and make sure you aren't looting abandoned buildings.
Has to be quite a few abandoned stations out in the countryside, but so far i haven't managed to find much videos of that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z99QO2OViXw

>>22574525
I wouldn't ever fuck around with urbex as a foreigner, think about it for a second longer. You can't even explain yourself properly to whoever interrogates.
(also was that camera tragically blurry or just always like that, it's gorgeous)

>>22574900
That's about what my reasoning came to in the end, my Japanese is practically nonexistent and i just wouldn't want to risk it.
Can still photo stuff from outside of course, much less likely to cause issues.

That camera is almost always out of focus, in low clouds/fog, has the lens covered in water or all of the above, it's very unfortunate because the view is great.

>>22575296
This is that webIP camera that only films in 10 fps or something and it gets worse as you go up in resolution, right?

>>22575376
Yep, lucky to get 0.5fps in 1080, rarely go over 1fps even in the lowest resolution.
livecam.334.hotweb.or.jp
Add:
>/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot?image_size=960x540&frame_count=1000000000
If opening in a mediaplayer, resolution options are 480x270, 960x540 and 1920x1080

Just about useless for anything other than timelapse videos.

>>22575403
and of course VLC for whatever reason is hardcoded to only 6 hours, so who knows how to make a proper timelapse using it without a giant interruption in the middle (since stopping the recording at 6 hours basically freezes the program for another 3-10 minutes while it processes)

>>22575715
>and of course VLC for whatever reason is hardcoded to only 6 hours
Doesn't appear to be the case, i have several recordings of 12h+ and even a few 24h.
These have all been direct connections to MJPG streams though.
The 6 hour limit seems to be with recording youtube streams through streamlink.

>>22576076
I get a 6 hour limit for youtube recordings through VLC, so maybe it's not VLC's fault in the end.

>>22576231
got my son the Komachi for christmas, he already has the hayabusa and always talks about getting the komachi as well. Can't wait to see his happy reaction.

>>22585497

>>22585512
Plarail. He's only 3 lol

>>22585523
Good on ya, maybe when we're all dead he'll be continuing the legacy of /aizu/

my render will take too long before this falls off the catalog, so something else for a bump

Is there any timetable for the Yunokami station?
So I know when to look at the stream?

>>22590416
This one might be a bit outdated, but i don't think there has been any major changes.
IIRC the right side is for the platform the camera is at.

>>22591127
thanks

>>22590416
>>22591127
here's a more recent one

not many changes though

Next render will be a lovely sunset from Makurazaki. Pic is also last night's sunset from the cafe, one of many good images.
Unfortunately has to be done in several stages that will take around 8 hours to render and then squash down, because it was split into parts of variable length that have to be combined so that they all get the same speed adjustment.

Cabview playlists from the last thread:

Mixed quality: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEazVa4zjt8g04YyvKd19WpSu

4K only: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

How do you set up a recording from mpv?
And how big a filesize would recording the shimogo stream for like 6 hours be?

>>22598065
One of the best streams for sunset views for sure, unfortunately not many good ones around.
>>22598725
Thanks, good stuff.
>>22598933
Never used mpv so can't help with that but should probably expect about ~430mb/hour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NE_Train

>>22604958
Very cool, just found this one too and added to my list.

I tried really hard to make it work. I changed resolution and messed with bitrate, nothing got it under this bullshit 3MB limit let alone 5.

So, take this instead. Roughly 3 hours in 61 seconds.

>>22621923
Aw, that's cool. Was it taken recently?

I'm a massive jvlogger guy as well, feel like we need a thread for that here too.

This is still a people watching favourite with the kyushu cam being the favourite train watching cam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-rFyiHkswE

And the Yunokami camera is out of focus again.
At least with everything being a gray-brown tone now it allows for some easy low filesize.

>>22624015
It was recorded just before i posted it, was only one salvo fired so i guess just testing or something.

>>22626220
Ah alright.
I've been out of the stream loop for a good 3 weeks now, just not interested at the moment. Going through bookmarks to see if anything has some nice snow. Kanna, Gunma stream is turned off - wonder if that is just seasonal.

>>22626268
Nothing. Not unless it's some ski resort camera.
I checked maybe two dozen across the entire country and it's all visible grass, overcast with rain.

Some nice light in Makurazaki today though.

>>22626268
Tokachi-Obihiro airport has some snow on the ground:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnduHXKZ84Y

>>22626220
looks like we won't have snow this Christmas
I wonder what the historical trend for snow is in that area around this time of year

I've been watching this cam for several seasons now I would think, but can't remember dates of first heavy snowfall

>>22626666
checked and thanks, I like to have more Hokkaido cams. Still waiting to expand my list for Shikoku and Chuugoku.

>>22626296
Another sunset that I can't put into webm unless I chop the framerate, so I did both.

better version:
https://streamable.com/dz9zr

Nagano got a bit of overnight snow

One of the Mt Fuji streams got some snow too, but if the sound of dripping water is anything to go by it won't last long.

seems like yunokami will get some snow on new years day

>>22634316
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heXVvJ59EBo

They're working hard to keep snow off the runway as sunrise approaches.

>>22634524
Damn, those snowplows are keeping some serious pace.

>>22634524
c o m f y

those flakes look huge

>>22634781
I'll be sad if it doesn't pick up again after dawn, because I wanted to see a bit of it in adequate lighting.

>>22634805
splendid!

>>22635161
Looks like they're about to start de-icing so they can send it on its way. Flightradar says it was scheduled to be leaving about 10 minutes ago

have a nice flight plane-kun

>>22634566
They were removing snow some moments ago, it is snowing. Looks so comfy right now

>>22642367
Wow, it's really coming down.

Meri kurisumasu everyone, and may the new year bring plenty of good streams to us all.

>>22642248
was wondering that too
service may have been limited that Christmas day

from the other day. They started to clean the plane off..

>>22650927
I will have to continue the second part later. A very neat looking rainstorm just rolled through the cafe camera and it's still going in the sunshine.

>>22650927
this got compressed to look absolutely terrible!
After they cleaned the plane, not 30 minutes go by and everything gets dumped on again.

>>22650927
Must be "fun" to be up in the cab while the truck rolls around like that.

Nice view of Mt Fuji this morning

>>22652128
Today is about as equally snowy. I've been recording it since before sunrise and it hasn't let up.

>>22654387
Great stuff. I never see it that clear when I show up, but I'm always looking at the highway view anyhow.

>>22654408
how do you play youtube streams through vlc?

>>22654408
bad news. VLC crashed at the 4 hour mark due to an interference from another program (trying to re-broadcast it on discord), so I lost 5 hours of the snowstorm. I can continue from here because it has been relentless, but that's disappointing.

>>22654729
copy the URL and then use the "Open location from clipboard" thing.

>>22654408
Hokkaido is also with snow

>>22654737
for me it starts to play for like half a second and then the screen goes black and then its just a still image after that

>>22654764
Oh you're getting THAT bullshit. I only stopped something similar (starting, but then losing all audio) by rolling back to version 3.0.7.1 after like 20 reinstalls.
VLC is really weird. Try what I did.

>>22654769
arigatou

turns out my vlc version was like 2.2.6 i got 3.0.7.1 now and its works great

Hmm, the camera for Kitamuki-Kannon temple was changed and lowered quite a bit. Overall bitrate took a hit too, I hate that
Take a look.
http://live.ueda.ne.jp/kitamuki.html

The Aomori airport cam has gotten interesting. It is either being manually controlled or on an automatic rail that pans the scene and zooms, they're showing all the clearing machines drive around now.
I am recording it.

Also snowing here

>>22656808
Finally, Christmas has arrived.

>>22655221
Rather than spend literal days re-rendering this stuff into dozens of webms trying to keep snowflakes free of compression, I've thrown it on unlisted Youtube. You can skim around and see the armada of snow plows working. At one point the camera is cleaned with a wiper blade, and the snow is relentless the entire time.

has a suicide ever been caught on these cams?

>>22671132
HOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYY

>>22666773
How come when you see reckless driving and particularly reckless speeding in Japan it's almost always these little POS kei trucks or vans?
I mean it takes serious determination, a lead foot and a complete disregard for safety to even get them up to high speed to begin with, damn things will roll over if you turn a corner too hard.

>>22676066
Before the little one you can see a big truck on the road above barely going under the barricades as well. Makes me feel like I am watching drivers in Chinese.

it's probably some 80 year old blind as a bat

Dumb question. Those lights on the runway look Christmas themed, is it coincidence

>>22677925
I doubt it, most things in aviation is regulated and afaik runway and taxiway lights are set up to follow color codes to avoid confusion in poor visibility.

So it was a dumb question. Thanks for the link!

People are now entering shrines for their first visits of the year. As before, they are open all night and all day for the next few days.

>>22688448
Kitamuki-Kannon

the Shibuya street cam is hilariously full

>>22688477
and now I'm recording some 4k, 60 fps fireworks from the BANTV station, in case they don't upload it themselves. Will render soon after I wake up.


Happy New Year to all train fetishists, shrine lurkers, and airplane stalkers

>>22688526
perhaps my expectations were too high compared to the amazing shows from the summer, that was like 3 minutes and nothing spectacular. Is NYE fireworks not a big thing in Japan?

>>22688477
There isn't much snow like last year, but a lot of people will show up these days.

UCV website updated for 1/1, prioritizing shrine and adding more mjpg links.

were there any good cams showing fireworks?

>>22691914
click this. For being advertised as a fireworks view they could have at least centered it. I cropped a bit out but left in the tall building that shows reflections.

https://streamable.com/yq36h

I love that this cam has a 50/50 chance of being a whiteout

>>22693191
No kidding.

>>22693565
Much as I genuinely hate shoveling snow, I'd trade my winter for that one. It's sitting around 0 here, we only had a week of true cold and the highest snowfall so far was maybe 5 inches. Doesn't feel right.

>>22693591
We have had -20 winters with tons of snow, yet I have never shovelled any.

Anyone got any interesting stuff from New Years Eve from perhaps the Shibuya, Shinjuku cams?

>>22696816
it was exactly this interesting
however I saw pictures of people on the street with confetti raining down, which was probably elsewhere

It's a miracle that they can get planes in & out.

>>22698921
my VLC (which takes at least 8 seconds to open btw) default stream is going to get changed to this until the snow goes away, it's just dreamy

Bet that will be sore in the morning.

Every single shrine stream or camera i had set up to record for new years failed in one way or another, except Kitamuki, which is nice for a chill people watching stream but not exactly much going on to make interesting clips from.

>>22700376
I don't think there would be interesting clips no matter what. It's a procession line of people going to clap in front of a box and maybe buy snacks, no?

>>22698601

Your trying to accomplish engrish teacher in Japan?

I saw snowfall and I started recording. I check back in 6 hours, it stopped snowing 20 minutes after I started.

>>22714814
Not long ago they were removing snow on the tracks, well there's snow again

>>22721141

>>22721839
>>22721921
Top comfy.
I don't understand why they would replace the camera with a worse one, or did the old one fail?
I know the old Bessho camera failed before it was replaced, and at least the Kitamuki camera isn't that bad compared to that one.

>>22723124
They had both up on New Years Eve, and then removed the link to the older one after that, no idea why.

Hey there anons, I haven't been here in a while. Glad to see this thread's still around, though.

Apparently there's an observation deck on the roof.

>>22729006
Any roof's an observation deck if you're brave enough.

I have only just now figured out, by accident, that if you put vlc to repeat it will automatically re-open the Yunokami stream every hour when it drops.
Years of watching, years of manually re-opening the stream every hour.

>>22729252
what do you mean hour? does it only let you see it for an hour at a time?

>>22729885
It has a fixed time once every hour when the stream disconnects, probably to avoid people just leaving it running forever in the background and sucking down bandwidth without actually watching.

>>22729006
Yup yup! It's pretty nice! There's a nice restaurant in the airport as well.

>>22731542
makes sense, they aren't going to put a lot of resources towards something of the nature.

Framerate isn't that great but better than most mjpg cameras.

I don't know if this is news to anyone else, but, since youtube live stream urls keep changing and expiring, it's more persistent to link them by adding /live to the channel url. For example https://www.youtube.com/user/sibchtv/live instead of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew0rBDYLxLc..

>>22542044
>ore wa noobu da ze

can someone please explain to me how these threads work and how to use the links provided?

>>22735231
I always figured that may work with things that only have one thing on their channel, never tested it
>>22735286
we normally just browse cameras on youtube and otherwise, if the link looks weird like >>22735076 try pasting it into VLC

>>22735076
One of the entrances to Nishinomiya Shrine, Hyogo.
With Umemiya Shrine on the right of the gate.

>>22738772
Do people usually have an objective/wish in mind when they go to a shrine or would someone just go there to hang out and enjoy the visuals on a walk?

>>22739434
Hard to give a definitive answer, it seems to differ greatly from place to place, in some ways shrine grounds are used almost like parks or communal areas. (while Buddhist temples are usually more strict and may not be open to the public at all)
Even more so in rural areas where it's not unusual to find old people just hanging around chatting and children playing at the local shrine.
At big more commercialized shrine areas in big cities it may be more tourist focused though, including entrance fees and such, which takes away some of the casual nature from it.

>>22739702
Oh yeah I can imagine an entrance fee being kind of a loitering repellent at the very least.

The sea is loud and active, yet in between tide times.

>>22735076
Someone is going crazy at the controls of the camera lol

link is not working

>>22741037
Unfortunately i think camera is kill.
Someone sent it on a wild spin non stop for 20-30 minutes and then it went offline.
Guessing it was still using default credentials.

Same thing almost every time a new unsecured camera comes online and gets added to the insecam database unfortunately, always someone that will fuck it up.

More snow in Obihiro

The audio is good but so affected by wind that it obscures a lot of what you're actually trying to hear, and because it's on a curve I don't think anything will go through at high speed.

>>22723964
I was there today, and it was comfy AF. They have some sort of old school kettle over a fire going in the station, so it smells all smokey when you go in. Nearly missed the train on the way back.

The trains on the Aizu Railway have some liveries that look like children's paintings. Very nice.

>>22750288
That's amazing anon, thank you for sharing.

>>22750288
Nice, i wonder how many anons have passed through over the years, and through Aizu station as well when that camera was up.

>>22753047
It's something to dwell on for everything we do.
Like when everyone joked about the anons who died waiting for Wintersun's second album, or Duke Nukem Forever, etc.
No doubt people I've quoted and given a (You) in the last year are gone. Life is short, and that's why we make the most of it by staring at trains.

Debuchan in 2020!

>>22753290
>No doubt people I've quoted and given a (You) in the last year are gone.
It's weird when you start thinking about it like that, but as i get older it starts creeping up in the back of my mind more and more.
I know for a fact about anons that were lost, not from this thread but still people that i have never met but in one way or another our paths crossed through this website and due to circumstances around what was discussed we got to know and recognize each other in threads, and even contacted each other outside of 4chan in various ways.
No doubt countless others like them, just that i never knew them close enough to notice when they were gone.

Anyone know if there is a live feed at the Hibarigaoka station in Niza Saitama?

I wonder what's on the sign.

>>22724397
I don't know why but almost every time i try to record this stream if either crashes completely or it just replays the same 3-4 second loop indefinitely.
Sometimes i couldn't even get the stream to load on youtube but it was still listed as live.

But the winter scenery sure looks comfy.

This turned out pretty shitty quality, and the damn stream started buffering just as the other train was departing, would have wanted to catch that as well.

Apparently we're looking to the right now.

>>22761337
I don't like it. There's no lamps to see the snowfall.

>>22761576
No, there's one.

Looks like Aomori's an international airport.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKyJdahuo-U

comfy

a lot of excitement over this one.
Not sure if it's a new paint job or a special model

>>22770579
I was actually a bit excited seeing that Rambalac was moving up north because it meant snow videos were coming

it vexes me greatly that all of Japan is within one time zone yet these two screenshots were taken at the same time

>>22770579
agree

>>22770579
This is comfy as hell, thanks for posting

What is this thread I am confused

Footage of people at a skating rink during today's public holiday, but turned to fleeting spectres with VLC's motion blur toggle and given color in Vegas.

>>22775049
Hm, and it's starting to look pretty after sunset.

>>22770579
Rambalac's videos are almost always excellent, i wonder of he has any plans to do the Aizu area and hopefully Yunokami Onsen.

>>22778723
he has a discord where you can request (within reason) an area to cover that he hasn't been yet

>>22775429
I put 4 hours of raw footage on youtube if you missed it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nlRtiPaxtE

>>22771132
Pretty sure I have seen it many times before. Except it n ever had the drawings at the front. Not sure if they are newly attached, maybe for it is last days at work, or just a different special, similar looking train.

Wait, is the Yunokami camera down?

>>22780819
I have had problems connecting to it off and on the last few days, but today i haven't been able to connect at all, hope it's just something temporary.

One thing that has worried me a bit is what they intend to do with the camera stream on the website once flash player reaches end of life, i feel like flash is already way outdated and will be treated as digital AIDS by browsers once Adobe drops support for it.
But that should be almost a year off still, and hopefully they move the stream over to youtube. Would probably benefit them anyway since they won't have to care about bandwidth in the same way either.

Seems like the weather in Aomori has calmed down these past days, but I wanted to see more snowstorms.

I didn't know jetways could lean down that far.

>>22780819
Maybe the camera software runs on Windows 7.

We are back, boys.

>>22794315
I'd like to see a cam set up in a place it absolutely shouldn't be, like those rickety tracks cutting through mountain forests. Tabi channel had a documentary about one ,where it's unmanned most of the time and there's only one train in service on the line.

>>22794315
Great! Had me worried there for a while.

>>22794327
You can find stuff like that on insecam sometimes, but usually they just disappear after a few days never to be seen again.
Most of the time they are on really shitty connections too unfortunately, so you get maybe one frame every 10 seconds.
I had one with a great view of a bridge over a river with a valley full of rice fields in the background. Watched it for weeks trying to catch a train going by, only to figure out after locating it in google earth that the track was closed for years.
Why there was a camera there i guess i will never know, weird part was the track looked like there was still traffic there, no overgrowth from trees on the side or even weeds between the track.

update on the Ueda bridge

>>22799030
It will take until spring next year? I guess it is not much of a priority.

>>22799114
I found a bot that has been posting updates since then
https://twitter.com/rivChikuma104k

>>22807575
maybe too many updates, hard to sort through this. I hadn't been looking into the situation since November so I too am surprised it's still taken this long, maybe they're having issues with money or staffing.

>>22812531
I have really been missing this camera lately.

Found another small Youtuber doing Japanese transportation infrastructure and history amongst other things. Like a structured Rambalac video with a topic basically. Comfy viewing.

>>22813691
Subbed. Thanks

>>22812927
I've been missing the snow

>>22817415
Yeah, this year has been kinda disappointing in that department so far.

.>>22817415
Aomori seems to getting plenty

>>22813691
Nice, that sent me on a recommended video chain that ended up at some videos i watched long ago about a typhoon damaged part of coastline that i had been trying to find but i couldn't remember the name of the channels.
Too bad the streetview footage of that section of the road seems to have been removed, seems the road and parts of buildings is still slowly falling off the cliffside with each storm that hits.

And a blast from the past from the youtube channel that got me interested in the Japan and more specifically the Japanese countryside to begin with while coming from random UE videos back in the day.
But man can he talk a lot about absolutely anything and everything lol.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_CN1gSnBWk

>>22824332
Takes balls or serious stupidity to do exploration in that sort of environment.

Oh damn. I should be paying more attention.

>>22825609
it's like a low res skybox texture...

>>22825609
And suddenly an even stronger wind blows. If I can I would really want to try and visit this December or next January.

Shoveling by hand, i thought they had a snowblower?
Maybe just don't want to bring it out for so little snow.
>>22825621
I hope you can, and remember to wave to the camera for us.

>>22825882
Have a file too, no extra charge. Derp

>>22825882
Don't worry, if I do I will definitely mention it here.
Maybe on my very first week or somewhere in April in general, I will try to get on this camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9md6w60n_ls or if somebody points me to something closer in Shinjuku.

Here is one from me too.

A while ago (the 2nd of November it seems) I had saved 15 minutes of this, but I was lazy and didn't webm any of it.

>>22826086

>>22826097

>>22826106

>>22826133
And the last one. Sorry for being such a slowpoke with posting these.

>>22826086
I didn't think so many people could fit. I thought each car could hold maybe 20 people.

>>22826147
You know how Japanese trains are. They are black holes of magic. Except when they aren't.
From the video and comparing it to local vehicles, probably a single car can take ~50 people without it being too crowded, so even more if really needed.

>>22826147
On the seats, yeah.
Standing gets a lot more people in.

>>22832047
Debu-chan in the brown coat and white scarf.
She used to stay more in-frame before, but not so much now. You would think she knows people here are calling her fat. It is not like she is walking with friends. Actually if you pay attention you can see the girl behind her catching up to her from quite the distance, especially while Debu-chan is on the stairs, and even trying to pass her just before they go outside of the camera's view. This is really just wondering if she is that slow because of her weight, which makes extra sense on stairs, or just walking chill and slowly while the other girl is going fast.

>>22832102

I don't think she is that fat, it's just that some of the girls are so tiny compared to her.

Either way, feels weird discussing this about a random person on the other side of the world, sort of like when you accidentally zoom in on someones underwear hung out to dry on google streetview.
What a time to be alive.

>>22832209
Please stop being such an American/Western European. She is fat. She is fat here and even more ginourmous by Japanese standards.

>>22832223

No doubt, but i don't think she is fat enough that it would give her that much issues with walking.

>>22837015
like rats

One of those days.

>>22839099
supposed to be snowing in the mainland later today, I'll keep an eye on cams that have good bitrate

This is barely thread related but please enjoy the E5 Hayabusa fighting a kaiju.

Rare helicopter sighting.

>>22842025
And it appears I overwrote that image with another one..

No traces of snow. Maybe a bit on the top of the mountain.

>>22853916
>>22846117
thanks for keeping this going, i haven't been checking cameras much recently

>>22854000
Same here. I pop by this thread once in a while to just relax... it's very comfy.

>>22858653
outside of typhoon season I don't feel a strong desire to check my bookmarks, especially since my favorite cam got its camera significantly downgraded to the point I don't even visit.

This is pretty cool, for me at least.
IP camera with this view was one of (if not the first) cameras i found way back in the day when i first started searching for cameras using google, must have been 2006-2007 or something.
Of course back then it was a 320x240 image on a 10 second timer refresh, slight improvement there.
Shows the harbor at Utorohigashi on the Shiretoko Peninsula, Hokkaido.

>>22854000
I try to keep it going when i see it's falling below page 9 at least, but i don't really want to keep bumping it too much if i don't have anything relevant to post either.

>>22859178
whoever makes the threads (you?) probably likes not having to make new ones all the time to counter the catalog trash.

>>22859379
>whoever makes the threads (you?)
Nope, not so far at least, still a few people around interested in keeping it alive it seems.
And yes, some days are worse than others with the thread spam, i remember one time bumping it from page 10 three times in a day.

>>22859416
main reason my contributions temporarily stopped is I can't figure out how to work within the 3MB limit while keeping quality.
I'm using two different versions of webm for retards because a gui wrapper is good for people who don't know their way around ffmpeg.

Yet I go onto /wsg/ sometimes and see a 1 minute video in 720p and it's only 4Mb. What gives.

>>22859436
I honestly have no idea, i have just about given up on anything over 640x480, and even that's a stretch at getting 1 minute most of the time.
There is probably ways of pushing the limits with manual parameters but it seems way too much effort just to get another few seconds here and there.

>>22859436

It's worth spending a little be of time figuring out ffmpeg as it lets you really fine tune the settings. Webm for retards just doesn't give you the control needed to do what you're probably trying to do.

>>22859709
I know it's probably something worth learning, I just got really intimidated by all the parameters and lengthy explanations of what they do.
I don't want to call myself tech inept, but I'm specialized into some things and certain others are just way out of my grasp. Like if you asked a high grade sysadmin about some advanced techniques in a DAW, he'd be stumped despite working on computers his whole day.

New video from that channel, an discontinued overgrown rail line.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqpIK6ioV6s

I just use an old (by now) web converter made by an anon. It definitely has flaws, but it does the job. I don't get too fixated on the quality. With 3mb you can't do too much anyway. You don't need that good of quality anyway, except if you are trying to catch the snowflakes falling. Then just make a short loop. For high quality scenery you just have to go with a picture anyway. Most stream's quality is not that high anyway.
Of course, trying to do as good as you can should be praised, but I am just saying there is no need to overthink it if it is not achievable.
I just got an idea. You know we can actually make webms for /wsg/ and post link from here to there. It has 6mb and 300 seconds for limits. Plus we can always just upload somewhere outside of the site and link to it too, it might feel unfortunate, but also why not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36-JhwKgKLw
Now this is different. And then I realized the channel had many others like this one.

>>22862216
imgur and youtube are a better option than nothing at all, imho.
