Also didn't work on Android. I just got the last frame of the ad that preceded the video shown the whole time. Which is in of itself kind of an interesting bug!
works fine on my archaic Android 8.1 without gapps in Kiwi Browser with uBo, maybe I should update to some better newer Android and some browser without extensions to experience these bugs?
I guess either he included time required to study YouTube's compression algorithms, or file was just too big. (Maybe you can't just upload the 1920×68 version and have to instead do the 30494×1080? Just guessing.)
He's certainly broken YouTube, although I'm curious how much of the explanation is actually legitimate given this channel's prepensity for... being fictitious [0].
The script for this video seems written by an AI or something. The sentence structure is "<state a few facts>, because of this, <other things unrelated to previously stated facts>". He's speaking as though he were explaining something, but he's not.
Yes, the explanation of how colors are reproduced in monitors seemed to be completely unrelated to anything specific to youtube, or this particular video, and was just a bunch of words related to the topic strung together in an unusual way.
It's just nonsense. He's trying to describe the fact that monitors work by combining red/blue/green in to light that is perceived by the brain as yellow, vs a natural light that is actually one frequency and yellow.
Pressing "t" switches to "Theater mode" and shrinks the player to fit inside the window. You should be able to see the like button and other content normally after enabling.
Ok so it's an 8K video 100px tall with fake colors and fake 700px height? Interesting video but to be honest I couldn't understand the guy's technical explanation for it at all. It just sounded like mumbo jumbo to me. I mean, I'm not expecting Captain Disillusion-level effort of technical explanation but still... I feel like I learned nothing after watching that video.
1) It's not a static target (they could have patched this hole after the video was uploaded), 2) There is a lot of weird nuance to these containers and codecs that can let you expose deficiencies in video processors.
True but I managed to upload something else with weird ratio by just experimenting with "big X, small Y". From what I'm guessing there is both limit for too big X and too small Y
On Android, the last frame of the ad that played before the video became glitched and stayed on screen. I could see some of the video "behind" the video box, however, it was tall instead of wide.
Had to upscale it to have at least 120x vertical (didn't do exact binary search on that), and on higher horizontal resolution it also appeared to crap out.
And I'm out of 24 hour upload limit...
No idea how to click the higher rez button but at least ytd works:

The original was on 1920x22 but it got a bit stretched in me trying to find the working resolution combination. Probably could go a bit flatter

[ 3.2 ms ] story [ 114 ms ] threadUpdate: seems to have recovered. every time I minimize the video in the app it freezes the video or crashes the app
(Works fine on Brave for iOS)
Weirdly enough I managed to get halfway done one, I uploaded it, at one point i could watch low res version, then it removed video

What's he talking about with the yellow colours though??

Invidious just shows the regular 16:9 player: https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=5dl4EQ5d47U

~480:9 ratio, source was scaled to 6300x120 to get it past YT (more optimization possible probably, ran out of uploads)

I've tried 1920x22px and it just returns "Processing abandoned. The video could not be processed."

I don't understand how this was upvoted by hn community
