Watch The Khronos SIGGRAPH 2015 Event Live, Details Of Vulkan Expected & More

flash required? guess i'll wait for recording, there is no way in hell i'm installing that crap

I dont want to sound greede. But is this something that will be uploaded on youtube?
Dunno if thats legal for GOL, or can I see this at a later date?
I cant watch a stream right now, tho Im fairly intressed in this ^^.

Wow Im really liking this vulkan, nvidia stuff thats been in the news latly on GOL.
Seems Linux are getting closer and closer to stopt being ignored by developers and players.
And it seems like, its not only talk anymore, vulkan is getting public ^^.

Install LiveStreamer, it's a command that can catch the stream and open it in your choice of video player. There's even a good chance it's already in your distro's repository. http://livestreamer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Once installed you can just type in: livestreamer http://www.ustream.tv/channel/khronos-siggraph best

Thanks! Wished I had known about this before. So much better watching this in mplayer.

Simply watch on Chrome/Chromium instead as they have a custom flash called Pepper thats part of their browser?

Works for me. Netflix, Flash, etc...

Installing Flash into my package manager - ew.

(not him, but) Flash is insecure.

Why you want to uninstall flash: http://occupyflash.org/

Livestream is handy for twitch too. just fires up vlc

Some slides on Vulkan / WSI and Wayland:


To watch the recorded version without any Flash, try this

mpv 'http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/70729406'

That's it ;)

@Liam, could you please review the NVIDIA video on Sunday. There are great news here:
- NVIDIA will support vulkan on Linux
- Driver support will be starting from GTX 400
- Driver will be mixed with OpenGl, so both can be used at the same time
- Driver support will be Day1 on Linux starting with the release of Vulkan Specs

Yeah you probably need a more recent version. I got 0.9.2 from mc3man's trusty-media PPA. You also need a recent version of youtube-dl. You can always get the latest one with pip. (The package is called python-pip in Ubuntu.)
