Its the platform, its beyond broken! I was unable to load a single video here for close to 10 minutes just now, and even my own videos that worked yesterday returned an error. Yesterday I couldnt get videos to load at all at times, and I fiber running at 100MB/s I'm a college educated IT specialist too, I know how this stuff works. This platform doesn't have the server infrastructure to handle mass streaming of videos back to users is the underlying issue. It bogs down and at times and stops transferring data entirely.
It also has nothing to do with .mov files, same problem with .mp4's as well. The platform does reencode all videos uploaded to a highly compressed mp4 format, and it reencodes all videos, regardless of the original format you used. Upload screen itself makes this very clear.
All being said, badly bloated code, bad server infrastructure, and too many errors. If they want this platform to last, then they need to fix these problems. As fed up as I am with YouTube, at least the platform works. Meanwhile, DTube has about the level of functionality of an Apple IIe its pathetic.
Either way, if this continues, then what the heck is the point of producing content here? I wont stick around if this continues.
Just to point out where you said that it has nothing to do with .mov files, the point of the video I was doing it to share what has happened to me in the hope it somewhat helps. I am in no way a technical expert but every time I do a video now I don't have many problems.
I am sorry to hear about the problems you are however however, my guess is that still this is new I started using DTube from day one and it was way worse than this.Hi @djdaniel2020
Either something works or it doesn't you know. Being new isn't a viable excuse either, they should have load tested this platform before they ever launched it. I will reiterate what I originally stated, bad code and bad server infrastructure.
Well I am not defending them but I don't have the same problems as you have so I really cannot comment on that but to say hope it improves for you.
