-In case you haven't noticed yet, NASA has put a new experiment on the International Space Station, which is called [[http://www.nasa-usa.de/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/917.html| High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV)]]. You can watch it online via [[http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload|ustream]]. The experiment's primary purpose is to generate long-term test data, if cheap off-the-shelf consumer HD cameras can be used in space instead of extremely expensive purpose-built "space" cameras. As a benefit, now all people can watch the world from above, in near-realtime, so we thank you guys.+In case you haven't noticed yet, NASA has put a new experiment on the International Space Station, which is called [[http://www.nasa-usa.de/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/917.html| High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV)]].

 Playing stuff in a browser is cool, but having it play in mplayer(2)/mpv seems way more flexible (and can also benefit from GPU video offloading). To grab the stream from ustream you can use [[https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer]], which works very well. Playing stuff in a browser is cool, but having it play in mplayer(2)/mpv seems way more flexible (and can also benefit from GPU video offloading).
