# Plebflix TV tape library

The channel JSON files in `channels/` are the source of truth. This page is generated by `npm run resources`. Do not edit it by hand.

Plebflix does not host the video. Each tape plays from an embed of a YouTube upload (preferably the creator's or an official channel's) or, failing that, an archive.org embed. If neither exists, the glass shows a link to the original page. `original_url` is that page, or a Wayback snapshot when it is gone. What counts as a classic is in `CLASSIC.md`. A still with no embed is a link-out, not a file we render.

A `pending` row was filed from the REC button. It is not in the live loop until someone confirms the embed, sets `duration` in seconds, and removes `"status": "pending"`.

## 1. Suomi

From Riemurasia nights to Euroviisut.

## Filing a tape

Press REC on the deck, or edit `channels/suomi.json` / `channels/international.json` and open a pull request. The year has to be at least ten years ago, and at least three of the five signals in `CLASSIC.md` have to be honest. Run `npm run validate` and `npm run resources` before you push. `npm run check-embeds` (weekly) checks that YouTube ids still resolve and archive.org items still exist.

## Shelves

Places to look, and links the REC button will accept. A page from one of these shelves is not automatically a video. Playback still has to be an embed inside the set.

- [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/) — Video items and web captures. A details, embed, or download URL can play inside the set.
- [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/) — Snapshots of pages that are gone. A filed snapshot is a lead until someone attaches a playable embed.
- [PANDORA](https://pandora.nla.gov.au/) — Australia's web archive. The overview says the collection is now in Trove.
  - [Overview](https://pandora.nla.gov.au/overview.html)
- [Trove](https://trove.nla.gov.au/) — National Library of Australia. PANDORA's captures are in the Australian Web Archive here.
  - [Website viewer](https://trove.nla.gov.au/website-viewer)
  - [Archived websites](https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/websites)
- [Australian Web Archive](https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/) — The webarchive host for Trove's archived websites.
- [WebCite](https://www.webcitation.org/) — The site still answers. The service itself is retired; the Wikipedia page says what it was.
