welcome back to another video, today we are looking at some video requirements that i’ve been keeping to when uploading videos to dlive.
because it’s a new product that’s just scaling, still iterating it’s platform to host live streamers i’ve been making sure that my videos are encoded ’fastest’ in screenflow 7.2 and are 720p in size — they are quite small between hundred and a few hundred megs in size.
the maximum size of file upload is 1gig (that’s actually quite big anyway) and they prefer a .mp4 format video - a native format on both window and mac, you should be able to get a video saved in .mp4 on linux easily too.
i personally would suggest right now to encode in 720p (1280x720) in 16:9 format, double check that it’s a native .mp4 format — if you want to make an animated moving .gif file for a thumbnail check out my second video in this DLive series as i show you to do that with OBS and a bit of cloud app magic
if your video size is over 1gb it’s time to pull out the recompression tools to try and get the size down, you might find you have a full hd 1920x1080 file, this way you can use a tool like miro video converter and blast it through, it’s worth getting that software anyway to convert to .webm format later on if you start making custom OBS video animations — it’s a free mac download.

My video is at DLive
Well, I have myself a problem with DLIVE. I just wanted to upload a 750 MBytes big video and it just uploaded to about 85 % and now is stuck...
When I press the Submit button it still says, wait for the upload to finish... But now the upload bar does not move anymore...
Is there any trick to restart the upload or get it finished ?
I am using the latest Firefox browser...so will it work better with Chrome as they recommend Chrome... Hmm...
Or is it better , if I would run in the background my own IPFS client somehow ??
P.S. What upload resolutions are supported in DLive ? I am currently using just 640x480 in MP4 and the preview window does already play it fully, but it does not yet show any URL...
Damn...
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
