RE: Ideas For Improving DTube

in #dtube6 years ago

Hey Dan, I would love to view Dtube videos, but for some reason I can only get about 1.5 seconds of play time then minutes of buffering then the cycle repeats. It makes it impossible for me to use. I've used two different computers and two different internet connections. I've also used Chrome and other browsers. Sometimes it works with my phone, but only sometimes. I can play youtube videos without interruption all day long. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

Sort:  

Sometimes DTube has issues, switch the settings to 420p if that does not work switch it to source. The settings is the round wheel cog thing at the bottom right of the dtube screen.

I just discovered that if I log out of my account and watch the dtube video without being logged in, I have no problem watching Dtube videos.

Very strange.

I tried that, but still didn't work. There is something else going on. It is not just the video stream, For me, everything on Dtube is insanely slow. There was a time where I uploaded videos to Dtube. Now, if I am on Dtube, and I want to simply click any one of the top right hand drop down menus, it can take 4 to 10 seconds for Dtube to respond to that click. If I want to scroll down and read comments, It can take several seconds to move the scroll bar a tiny bit.

I wonder how many other people are not able to use Dtube?

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Dtube, while quirky, used to work for me. Now, neither Dtube nor IPFS work. I can interact with the posts and Dtube site normally, but the video is simply a gray space. Dunno what changed, but unless someone posts a Youtool video, I can't watch it.
