Are anyone else's DLive livestreams not working on DLive? (The Daily Owl will be on DTube later today.)

in #dlive6 years ago (edited)

I've so far lost two live videos. They don't play back and are lost in the ether. Pretty discouraged here.

I've notified the team, but as I post there daily, wanna know what is going on.

Anyone else dealing with this?

Sort:  

50/50 at best, it's why I gave up trying. Dtube, 60/40, your mileage may vary. :|

50/50 at best?! I havent had a replay issue in over 2 months since one of their updates.

This is NOT a typical issue and pretty much has not been an issue since their last server update (months ago).

My guess is it is a big they are currently working on, NOT a wide spread, long-term issue.

quickly grabbed example from someone I follow.

battleaxe 5 days ago
@Dlive ....Literally all the main players are having their stuff not work, It freaking worked and played now is gone
I suppose I'll go to your competitor and just have them take a cut to not have my work poof cause your stuff is suckn' :)

Anyway... when i was still operating the 24/7 steemstar streaming network, which I will admit has been shut down for 6 weeks or so after a year of broadcasting dozens of hosts and multiple daily shows, we tried with our 2 dozen show hosts, endlessly, and we all always gave up and ended up back on youtube. So that speaks to hundreds of attempts of anecdotal evidence over time, meanwhile we were fine simul casting from all over the world to youtube, periscope, and twitch at the same time through my rebroadcasting servers.

He uploaded 2 days ago and it plays fine... There is a difference between a live broadcast and a video...I dont see any times where @battleaxe did a live stream.

Anyways... There are issues here and there so my question is: has anyone opened a ticket on dlive? Have they talked to the team?

There are TIMES where they make updates and fix bugs... It is not a widespread thing and I feel like you are giving undue burden to a sporadic issue.

If someone has a replay or video issue they should contact DLive so they can fix it.

Ask @jonny-clearwater about the recent uploading issues that they fixed after an update that caused some bugs. Yes I am sure there was an issue but they fix it and it isn't NEARLY as much as an issue (for me) as the other option on the blockchain.

I dont see any times where @battleaxe did a live stream.

exactly

Exactly what? That he only uploaded videos and not live streams?

Those are replacements from via steemit or steempeak or retries on dsites, and he is a she, and get back to me when youve tried it hundreds of times over a year and been responsible for training all the djs on two streaming networks trying to use it 24/7 all that time. Thanks for your input.

I dont see a single post where he LIVESTREAMED. I see a couple videos, I suggest he contact DLive so he can figure out the best way to optimize his videos for it... Other people have trouble and get it figured out- no need for the fud.

The issue with REPLAY hasnt been an issue for months... The VIDEO issue usually comes from bugs after updates they they fix. There are also suggested formats and size videos that work best on DLive. Again, you are overblowing a sporadic issue that is solved by opening a ticket or talking to the DLive team 100% of the time.

I’m in contact with the team. Been about a day now. Issue with the replay is killing me. Love Dlive, but currently no point in doing streams when I’ve tried three in a row that never make it.

Dang. All of mine have been playing back fine until now. Thanks for the tip. I may have to switch platforms yet again (left DTube awhile back)

Battleaxe had to try 4x in a row on the last video I was trying to see, to get a post to stick on dlive. I have tried it a few times, and glitched more than not. I dont use dtube much, but my radio hosts all did when uploading replays from steemstar network and they reported it worked most of the time.

All this said, thanks to IPFS, it will be lost in a week anyway or thereabouts, and your post will be borked at random. We also would upload to youtube, and put BOTH in the post, then remove the broken d-versions later.

Dlive has kept all of my past streams online now for a long time. Does DTube not save old streams?

So that's the thing... it's completely unpredictable. Look at some older users dtubes and dlives and see the death valley of digital void....

Lol. I was unaware. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

Hi @kafkanarchy84 - Thank you for your post :)

Our developers are aware of the current issues with some Live streams that are stuck on processing.

We will hopefully have a resolution soon. Until then, we do have a discord and a help center where you can speak to the team (including myself)

We apologise for any inconvenience, and completely understand your frustration - however, I can assure you we are doing our very best at retrieving these for you and really do appreciate your patience.

Kindest Regards

Thank you. Yes, I am on Discord and have spoken to twonof the admins there.

Just sad to lose my vids I put a lot of time and energy into.

When the issue is resolved I can come back, but until then am going to have to find other options for my daily live show.

I love the platform, so I’ll keep my ears open for when everything’s back online.

I completely understand :)

Unfortunately sometimes issues that are outside of our control can play a part in errors such as these (hardware etc)

Going forward, you could try locally recording your content the same time as streaming (as a backup) - I know it's not ideal, but it as an option :)

The team members will update you with any further developments on this issue.

Kindest Regards

If I record the video I will still have to post it twice, which will be confusing to my viewers and I really don’t wish to abuse the automated votes of those that have me on their voting list. I suppose that I could just upload the recorded version to YouTube or something, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose for me.

I will just wait till the problem is resolved. I have to try out other platforms in the meantime.

I've only ever tried twice, the first time I probably stuffed up, the second time it was waiting forever for a connection (OBS said it was connected but dlive claimed it wasn't). Haven't tried since. Hope they're not encountering storage problems too.
