Finally learned how to tag .mp4 videos that have been encoded with HEVC / x265 / h.265 to stream properly in Safari. Without the tag Safari won't play them from the web page, you still need to download the file and watch with something like VLC. For this to work for Safari by default all past videos would have to be re-processed to include the tag, and that will be a giant project.

For Microsoft Edge there is a free OS app that allows Edge to play them as well, no tag needed. You can watch from our web site right away!

For Firefox and Chrome I am still looking for a solution. Does anyone know of a plug in or extension to get the videos to render?

Big BitTorrent v.2 Format Update

The torrents I now build are improved from past torrents:

• Both BitTorrent v1 and v2 torrents are being built - v1 torrents are BitTorrent version 1 compatible, and - v2 are version 2 compatible
• Torrents now include a web seed to our Tor .onion web sites as well as out "clear net" web seeds
• Torrents now include a Tor .onion tracker as well as the existing "clear net" trackers tracker.infocon.org and tracker.defcon.org

To take advantage of the new BitTorrent v2 format you need a compatible torrent client. As of this writing I only know of two: BiglyBT and PicoTorrent but I expect over the next few months that all the major clients will update.

The advantages of v2 are significant, but there is a chicken and egg problem, create the content first, or wait for more client support? I decided to help out by creating v2 torrents as well as v1 ones. This way there will be content right away people can play with.

As far as servers go infocon.org and defcon.org are facing the same problem - we are not running a v2 capable torrent server yet, so the only way people using a v2 client will be able to initially get files is through our web seeds. Once we do I'll post here.

InfoCon and DEF CON torrents now include Tor .onion addresses!

As we move more of our infrastructure into the Tor .onion space we have started to generate torrents with support for our .onion tracker and web seeds.

We have added tracker that lives in onion space:
http://6sal5twvqfqnh7owhqgogzcjnahvx...onion/announce

We are testing it now, and has successfully worked with BiglyBT and PicoTorrent

.onion web seed:
Now when you start a new style InfoCon or DEF CON torrent you will notice that there is a new web seed address: for infocon it is http://w27irt6ldaydjoacyovepuzlethuo...metn7qd.onion/ and is in the first preference.

If you are running a BitTorrent client that supports Tor this web seed will be the first tried. If you aren't then your client just skips it and moves on to the second listed web seed, infocon.org

How do I torrent with Tor?
This can be simple or complicated. Basically there are two ways:

1. Run a BitTorrent client that is Tor friendly like BiglyBT, just enable their Tor plugin and fiddle with their privacy slider.
2. Run a Tor proxy and point your client to that. Combined with a proxy friendly client, like PicoTorrent, this is easy.

To expand on #2 above here is one way to set it up. This example assumes you are running Windows.

1. Install the Tor Browser Bundle and start it up. As it runs it will also be running a local Tor proxy on TCP port 9150
2. Start PicoTorrent -> Preferences -> Proxy and set type SOCKS5, Host is 127.0.0.1, Port is 9150, and check the proxy hostnames and tracker connections boxes.
3. Now if you load a newer torrent it should start web seed downloading from the onion address and check in with the onion tracker. Victory!
4. Not working? Please post a question in the InfoCon conversation forum.

NOTE: This is the beginning of the long slow process of going back to our archive of originals and sorting, renaming, and getting everything ready to be re-encoded, It is a lot of work, and had I maintained the originals better it wouldn't be, but I didn't anticipate how quickly the archive would grow and how much individual fiddling I had to do to get things to encode in the first place.

What does this mean?
Over the next year or so I'll slowly get all the cons in a uniform state, with ID3 tags added, try and find art for album covers, and then trans-code them using our newer HEVC script that also adds track numbers and enables (on Safari, and others?) browser web streaming through the addition of a MOOV atom.

In a couple years I expect new GPUs will start to support hardware encoding of the AV1 video format, and that is the "final" format that I will ultimately convert infocon.org to - but that is two or three years away. The organizing work I'm just starting now will make that transition much easier.

As I work through directories I'll post about them here, and let you know how much space savings, if any, we got using the newer encoding features.
