It's a pleasure to support Digital Foundry's excellent work. I typically like to download a video file for new episodes and watch them back using the infuse video player on an iPad.
After downloading the 3rd Q&A I've found that infuse seems to mis-identify the the Q&A episode as something called "Eko Eko Azararak: B-Page" in which "Misa Kuroi continues her search for the demon Ezekiel and investigates a strange situation involving a wheelchair bound doll maker named Ryo."
I recognise that movie matching routines in such players are beyond DFs control, and if this is some Easter Egg or inside joke - I've missed it!
Other recent content like the DF RETRO Super Show 8 and the Fallout 4 Switch 2 Test show just a random screengrab from the episode itself and the video title.
A few requests therefore in relation to the download files:-
1) Would it be possible to embed a thumbnail into the HEVC / H.264 downloads - perhaps the same one that gets used for Youtube?
2) Could show notes similar to what are provided in the Patreon posts be incorporated into the video descriptions that would show if you watch in an offline player?
3) In relation to the DF Directs / Q&As - is there something about how the metadata is being noted on these files that is causing the movie scrapers to kick into action and pick a very random result (I recognise addressing 1 & 2 may address 3 by default!)
Appreciate that you are wanting to get shows into people's hands in a timely fashion and so doing custom metadata for each download may not be workable.
Keep up the great content and thanks for your consideration!
