Moria's Race was released 118 days ago on 26th of August 2023. And as of now, I'm aware only of about 604 views across 6 platforms that I track. ↩ Reply

Release History


On the day of release I published the movie both on Odysee, on a PeerTube instance video.chalec.org that doesn't exist anymore and on Archive.org. ↩ Reply

The video on PeerTube was never unlocked by the administrator of the instance, so it was only available with my password. But the download links to it worked. And I included them on Blender Artists publication about the movie, and on the page about the movie on My Personal Tor Website. ↩ Reply

There is no way for me to know how many people saw the movie using that link. The website is unavailable and PeerTube analytics only works when people see the video on the website. And so even if the website would be still up, there would be zero views in the analytics. Though I know of at least 3 or 4 people who saw the movie using that link. ↩ Reply

On November 23rd 2023 ( roughly a month ago ) the movie was published to peer.madiator.cloud PeerTube instance hosted by @Madiator2011. ↩ Reply

On November 27th 2023 a Mastodon Account specifically for things related to Moria's Race was made. As of now, it has 10 followers. ↩ Reply

On December 5th 2023 the movie appeared on a YouTube channel by @Nasikla. It was not uploaded there by me. ↩ Reply

On December 7th a Universal Share Page was made, which includes most of the links to the movie. This is the page that is recommended to share when you want to share the movie. ↩ Reply

On December 13th the peer.madiator.cloud instance was down for one day. And the movie was published on video.thepolarbear.co.uk PeerTube instance. ↩ Reply

On December 16th the movie was published to a YouTube channel The Movie Channel, which is a lower quality version which appears to be from a place called "Kimcartoon". There is Moria's Race on one website called Kimcartoon and there is no indication of when it got there. But judging by the video on YouTube it got there roughly at the same time. ↩ Reply

So we have: ↩ Reply

  • Internet Archive - Madiator's PeerTube ↩ Reply
  • Polar Bear's PeerTube - Nasikla's YouTube ↩ Reply
  • The Movie Channel's YouTube - Kimcartoon ↩ Reply

Since 2 days ago, @Madiator2011 also spawned a server bass.madiator.cloud from which you can get source files of Moria's Race. Here is a post about it. ↩ Reply

Additionally to that, since a bit before the release of the movie and until recently I published various addons for a game called SuperTuxKart that advertise the movie. ↩ Reply

View counts


On 5th of December 2023 ( when the movie appeared on YouTube ) I started collecting analytics from all platforms ( excluding Kimcartoon and The Movie Channel). ↩ Reply

Kimcartoon's view count seem to show the amount of people who visited the page, rather than the amount of people who saw the movie. But to be honest my website is kind of the same. But I did have a slightly different approach to the website, that would exclude bots from being calculated into the analytics. ↩ Reply

My website has a button that reveals an analytics graph of the page. It is done by embedding the analytics page within a small details container. Which made it possible to make everything without javascript. But this made it so my server serves two pages when people are visiting the page from a browser. And I can search for this in the log files. Which is exactly what I do to calculate the views of the movie on my website. For comparison, at the moment the view count rendered on the page shows 216 views. While the analytics tool shows only 88 views. ↩ Reply

I didn't include The Movie Channel yet into the analytics. And I don't know if I should. There is no way that I know of that can get analytics data out of Kimcartoon. And the website seems to be not reliable in that regard. So for the time being I will be collecting data only from the following publications: ↩ Reply

  • Internet Archive - Madiator's PeerTube ↩ Reply
  • Polar Bear's PeerTube - Nasikla's YouTube ↩ Reply

To get Odysee's views was not complex, since I implemented a view counter into FastLBRY client a few years ago. It does require registering a new auth-token for some reason, but it is not a big deal. it was easy. ↩ Reply

CLAIMID = "521c9d73af52509a1f46b3c957c6bf8199f44332"

url = "https://api.odysee.com/user/new"
req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=None)
f = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
data = json.loads(f.read().decode('utf-8'))


auth_token = data["data"]["auth_token"]
        
claim_id = CLAIMID
auth = auth_token

headers = {"Origin":"https://odysee.com",
"Referer":"https://odysee.com/",
"User-Agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0"}
    
url="https://api.odysee.com/file/view_count?auth_token="+auth+"&claim_id="+claim_id
req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=None, headers=headers)

f = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
data = json.loads(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
if "data" in data:
	data = data["data"]
else:
	data =  False

ODYSEEVIEWS = data[0]
print( "Odysee Views:", ODYSEEVIEWS )





Internet archive turned out to be quite simple. But it wasn't straight forward. I was looking in the wrong place for some time. Until I found this solution. ↩ Reply

ARCHIVELINK = "https://be-api.us.archive.org/views/v1/short/morias-race"

url = ARCHIVELINK
req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=None)

f = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
data = json.loads(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
ARCHIVEVIEWS = int(data["morias-race"]["all_time"])
	
print( "Archive.org Views:", ARCHIVEVIEWS )



PeerTube on the other hand was straight forward. ↩ Reply

PEERTUBE = "https://peer.madiator.cloud/api/v1/videos/vmPmME5XPWNc8uXSMe1xCk"
url = PEERTUBE
req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=None)

f = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
data = json.loads(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
PEERVIEWS = int(data["views"])
	
print( "Madiator Views:", PEERVIEWS )




And because Invidious exists, YouTube was rather simple too. ↩ Reply

videoId = "b83W_azDOK8"
try:
	url = "https://invidious.namazso.eu/api/v1/videos/"+videoId
	req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=None)
	f = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
	data = json.loads(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
except:
	url = "https://yt.artemislena.eu/api/v1/videos/"+videoId
	req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=None)
	f = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
	data = json.loads(f.read().decode('utf-8'))

YOUTUBEVIEWS = data["viewCount"]
print( "YouTube Views:", YOUTUBEVIEWS )




If the movie ends up on something like Vimeo, I have no idea how I would get the views. As I have no idea how to get the views from Kimcartoon. Though from there I don't want to get the views. ↩ Reply

So far the data since 5th of December shows this: ↩ Reply

I want to test a few things:
# Comment
print("hello world") # One more comment
x = 2+2
if x: 
    return y
elif y:
    while x > y:
        print( y + x + "hi")




And also a little x = 2 == , != "y" # With a comment here too.

Yeah that is true and !False

Until yesterday I thought that street lights was impossible to make, so I was trying to find some kind of other ways to brighten up the frame at night, so at least it would be visible, but yesterday I stumbled upon something that might work.

An adventure of a little girl ( Moria ) that is so obsessed with racing that she throws her caution out of a fast racing car's window.
