when I click on the text in the middle of the screen (not the login), it sends me to a YouTube channel which says, "This channel was closed and is no longer available." Is that part of the game??

Following the tenuous trail from the login box I got as far as
Do not open if you want to follow the trail!
so far, enough to find that this leads to a project already in progress.
Coraline-there are ellipses, dot and dashes. I've tried interchanging them with spaces, dashes and dots, and adding after http://owenholt.org/ but nothing so far
Maybe imgur/ ??

Sadly, the numbers on his prison shirt are of no help. (I did get a word out of them, but it didn't take me to a new page.)

TIP: Place a space before your link to keep it active when you spoiler. Use "Preview" to check.

And to all a good night!
Hint on Log 19

Apply Rot13 to the name of the phone service (after all it's 3G!) to get an "empty word". Use as password

Stuck again at log 34. Not sure if I can gain anything by watching ahead on youtube, or if those aren't relevant to the logs I've read so far.

You need to back track from Log 34 and gather some things along the way.
Hints and partial solves:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Log31 or "fixme" Gather 4 symbols that resemble "pigpen"
To save you a butt-load of time the video one is about 1:52 and i used the direct link to you-tube from the source https://www.youtube.com/embed/P9ndyq6wlUQ? so I could pause and start repeatedly.
Back to log23 itwillhelp3 The QR solve will find a grid to decode the symbols.
Note there are 3 letters per box. Review symbols to determine which to to use. Note the directional of any letters found with symbol. Find a "final sounding" 4 letter word.
Back to log 19 to find password box /owenholtphonemenu
Posting this mostly from memory, so let me know how it turned out either way.

So, I'm pretty new to this ARG stuff, like...actually following trails. And I'm stuck on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQIx06wbONw&feature=youtu.be
Some help would be really cool. Like a hint or something similar.
[edit - spoiler tag is used for puzzle solves or tv/movie/book plot points, not for a youtube link. kona]

Short answer is I never solved that one. Tried DTMF decoder, nothing useful.
Many dead ends in this one.
Is that one called "do not decode" ?
HINT
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If it is I entered the name of the QR pic after owenholt/
If not post where it is in owenholt/

LOG 19 I found the password for the camera, but there is another password protected site - the broken back:
Anyone already found that password? Any hint?

Hints to that are listed above as Log 34. I'll post again. It takes a lot of backtracking to assemble everything needed for that one. There is a payoff (of sorts ) at trails end.

Let me know if these hints are too muddy.
