Seriously DTube.. what's going on?

This video works fine for me.

It is propably the IPFS network's fault. Your videos are shared between several nodes in the network. And some of the nodes, which contain your video, are overloaded. DTube hasn't the same infrastructure as YouTube, (yet).

This one yes. I can also see this, but can you see my other videos? Anyway, if the problem is that there is some overload situation and that it will be sorted out, then it's not such a bad problem. I hope it will be ok, because I do believe this place can be the future.

Same thing I can't see your other videos. Contact them I guess, can you see my videos btw?

Yes, cool GoPro video. :)

But I'm not able to upvote the video. :(

I have no idea I upvoted yours just fine. Tnx for the compliment about the video. :D

Files in the IPFS network will disappear after the network decides the file is not popular enough and no longer needed. This is about 1 day after upload.
To prevent this DTube pays 25% of your earnings to ipfsstore.it. They charge 0.044 USD/Gigabyte per month. After this money is depleted they delete your video. So your video should at least stay online till payout after 7 days. To be sure they stay online you could seed the videos yourself.

I tried to pin and seed your videos from my ipfs node, but I can't fetch the videos over IPFS. Seems like they are really offline.

Oh, is that a fact? Can I read about it somewhere? I'm asking because that creates a serious problem for me, and if that is a fact, I can't use DTube for my work. I'm not here to try to earn as much as possible in 7 days. I'm here to build a community. And at least in my case, it was just a few days before they went offline. Very disappointing.

I need to have a platform where my videos will stay online so that people can find them also at a later time. If the system works like you mentioned, it is also very challenging for content creators who are here with a smaller following and/or is not posting mainstream material (here it seems to be anything related to cryptocurrencies etc) or something with a shock value.

Really appreciate your help @arv1, so if you can share more about the issue, about the IPFS network, I'm very grateful. This is a determining factor for me. I hope I could stay on DTube because there is much in this platform that I like, but if what you mentioned is right, I'm forced to go back to YouTube and/or Vimeo.

It would be of course really cool to get a response from @heimindanger, but I bet he gets so many comments and questions that it is very unlikely.

Please @dtube, let's not make me go back to YouTube! I would love to stay here.

I was about to comment about this on another video but I went back to see if any of your other videos were having problems and here this post was! I upvoted that post as well, since I know you are attempting to add more valuable, original content. hope that you can share again via dtube!

Yeah this video is working properly. But that sucks.... i hope the problem is solved in your end eheheheh

this video is working properly. But I have the same issue with my older (14 days old) uploads, they are no longer playable.
This is frustrating, beause I can't even delete them for a clean reupload

I am constantly seeing videos that either have no thumbnails and/or do not play. At all.

Maybe the site has gained so much popularity that it needs to grow. Have a lot more servers and what not. The pages are already slow to load, and many videos do not play for me. Across the entire site.

So that basically means that the site is essentially worthless if you want to use it like an archive? That's what I was going for. Sort of like a cloud.

hey guess what, this video doesnt play either.....what an amazing platform this dtube is! the only videos that load are garbage on the front page?!
