this has been driving me insane.
on the japanese video sharing site niconico douga, there were video glitches that would occur on certain uploads. these were referred to on the site as the seven mysteries (or could be translated as seven wonders) of niconico. the glitches were:
-comments scrolling too fast [on nnd, comments scroll across the screen from right to left at the timestamp they were made.]
-comments not showing up on the video [this goes together with a glitch of the videos length being shorter than it actually is. so, if a comment was made past the time of the false length of the video, it will not show up on screen, even if the video itself is still going.]
-the video progress bar speeding up halfway through the video
-the progress bar rewinding [when you try to take the progress bar back to a certain point, it rewinds all the way back. this, as far as i know, does not effect the actual timestamp of the video. this also doubled with a glitch involving the video time being displayed as a literally impossible time of 7 158 2:46~71582:47. also, the comments are said to be from june 2009, no matter when they were actually made.]
-video time decreasing [with every rewatch of the video, the video time decreases by 2 seconds.]
-audio repeating after the video is over [when the video is completely finished, the audio will start to play again from the beginning]
-pause button glitch{??} [if you repeatedly spam the pause button, after a certain point the video will refuse to start again.]
-video turns green [at 0:30, the video will stop. if you can find the exact timestamp on the progress bar and click, the video will start again with a green overlay]
the thing about these glitches is; 1). there were more than seven (which you can see in the link below). 2). they are very very hard to find anything about. typing the search term in english will bring you no results. you must type it in japanese to get anything about it.
why i am making this post is because these are completely unarchived. niconico updated their videoplayer system after flash shut down and, as far as i know, nobody thought to archive proof of these glitches. the videos that these glitches occured in are still up, s
so, wouldn't you be able to just go look in the wayback machine? NO! niconico is weird in the way that, you have to have an account to watch videos. so, you can't just look in the wayback machine because you will instead be prompted with the sign-in screen.
i haven't seen anybody talk about this, besides the youtuber sakura stardust.
