I just set up my Loops account in order to beta test the iOS app.
Uploaded my first video here: https://loops.video/v/5s_wUUCHsZ
So far so good.

FYI Tesseract as implemented on e.g. dubvee.org, an alternative front-end UI for Lemmy made by Admiral Patrick, has an embedded player already, which doesn’t need an account to play the videos. See it in action at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social, or read more about Tesseract at https://dubvee.org/post/2453173. I hope to see even greater levels of integration soon, perhaps in PieFed!:-)
Thanks for the shoutout. Unfortunately, I dropped 0.18.x support back in 1.4.0 so it won’t work with Beehaw right now :(
I always like to promote cool stuff, and your stuff is so freaking cool:-).
Good point about it not working natively inside Beehaw but I just wanted to clarify for anyone reading that even so, they can still click the link https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social and see the loops videos in action - they can’t comment or vote, either on the Lemmy post or for the Loops video, but for read-only mode it works very well.
I don’t have a Loops account myself so haven’t compared the experiences for that vs. Tesseract but regardless it’s kinda neat to be able to do something like sort that community by Top Week or something and then go through the videos one by one, reading comments if desired also.
Thanks for sharing, Tesseract seems awesome!
It kinda is yeah.:-) Both Tesseract and PieFed have YouTube embedding, but only Tesseract has that for Loops (so far).
Another commenter to this post said a Loops web UI update is coming, so hopefully that version will include the
og:videometadata so any client can easily support them. It also means I might have to adjust my code to account for those changes in case they don’t add that metadata on the new version lol.Thanks for sharing, Tesseract seems awesome!
