21 Welcome to the first TV channel on Gopherspace!
22
23 Please see our different channels with its varieties of content, to make
24 you happy and give you pleasure at the same time.
25
26 The playlists are regenerated every hour and are best viewed using mpv(1)
27 by passing the playlist url as an argument. For mplayer(1), vlc(1) there
28 is gopher:// link support. We are working on playlist support.

51 First Problem / Solution:
52
53 The memecache is growing every day. People need to remember them, but
54 with over 4096 memes, it is nearly impossible to know all of them. With
55 tthe new visual representation in a stream, the case of people remembering
56 and thus using the meme hashtag are higher.
57
58 Second Problem / Solution:
59
60 Gopher is about simplicity, showing how problems can be solved in a different
61 way. The web is scaling up to complexity, of streaming servers, wasting band-
62 width, not using simple tools which can be recombined, all tunneled over one
63 protocol, making it too complex over time.
64
65 The technology behind bitreich tv is simply the common text standard of
66 playlists, referencing different protocols, interpreted by players like
67 mpv(1), vlc(1) or any ffmpeg-based player, which now support the gopher
68 protocol and beyond.
69
70 Hopefully this will inspire others to create their TV channels on gopher.
