-{{:media:image:logo:rage_homepage-fixed.png?46px}} is an overnight, Australian, music video show that's been running since 1987. No annoying hosts, just interesting selections of videos. Always had a low-budget DIY feel. You could make a video, put it on a Betamax tape, and get it played some time Friday night.

 The best part is the guest programmers; a band or artist of whatever comes in and play whatever videos they want for a few hours on Saturday nights. Then they schedule a bunch of their videos after. Used to love taping them as a teen, hoping the three-hour limit would catch everything good.

   * A live version of a [[Bee Gees]] song that was sung so badly by Barry it had an amazing sweaty punk atmosphere. In my memory it was at a festival with a big screen behind, but I've found a 1976 TV special with the same white outfits I remember and sweaty, straining falsetto that is probably it. Might be conflating it with the [[yt>SxPb6KDS9K4|1988 Nelson Mandela concert]]. Might be [[yt>cAJIsAo9qJ4|this '99 one]] too---

 Always wanted to be a guest programmer on Rage when I was a teen, wanted to look through that big book of music videos.

+It's not perfect, but close enough for me. Wish I could get the line spacing closer :(\\ I was trying to avoid that dopey .ass file extension, but I needed to use it to mess with the font dimensions a bit. I should've used a better base resolution, but oh well.
 ==== At Home ====
-I've been slowly setting up [[kodi]] (which I already use for watching movies) as a music video jukebox kinda thing.
+You could make a big playlist in [[VLC]], I guess. But I've been slowly setting up [[kodi]] (which I already use for watching movies) as a music video jukebox kinda thing. This way you can add tags and genres and things.
 See: [[kodi#music_video|kodi#music_video]]
+With Kodi you'll need to install any fonts you want to use. In my case I had to put them in ''/usr/share/fonts''. And make sure you're not overriding ssa/ass subtitle fonts in Settings>Player Settings/Language/Override ASS / SSA subtitles fonts\\
+In newer versions of Kodi you can put the fonts in the ''~/.kodi/media/Fonts'' directory, I believe. Current Kodi versions support other font types, but I had to use TTF.
 ==== Steaming ====
+I haven't tried this (yet), just noting some useful software / methods.
+Basic process is:
+  - Have a source of videos. Could be fixed, could change over time.
+  - Use something to send the output somewhere. Could be capturing the screen, could be sending a stream of files.
+  - Have somewhere to send it. Either host yourself, or use something like [[Twitch]], [[Peertube]], or [[OwnCast]].
+  * Make a playlist in something like VLC, use [[OBS]] to capture, send to
+===== Trivia =====
+  * [[wp>Deni Gordon]] does the Rage scream: [[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-28/we-found-the-woman-who-did-the-rage-scream/8473388|Meet the woman who did the iconic Rage intro scream]]. She was also in //[[Heartbreak High]]//!
+  * The [[fonts|font]] use for the logo is maybe an edit of 'American Typewriter'?: [[https://old.reddit.com/r/identifythisfont/comments/m8to4z/anyone_know_this_font_it_is_from_rage_on_abc_in/|Anyone know this font? It is from Rage on ABC in Australia.]]. Info I got from the ABC is just that it's a custom font.
+  * I also asked about the font used for the captions, and was told that it's Eurostile. <del>I've ended up using Eurostile round, bolded it, and narrowed it a little. The rounded versions adds a little softness that fits better with my analogue-tinged memories.</del>actually in Kodi it's way too bold, so switch back to the not-round version. Regular Eurostile seems to be used in the credits though, without any condensing.
