You can ask @heimindanger about what kind of hosting he's got going, with the 25% of rewards pool he is collecting on dtube videos ;-)
I chatted him up on the steemit chat; he'll talk to people directly I think.
I have same experience, and I've had to abandon it for time being.
I did manage to get my video to play earlier, so it is at least not totally broken - but there are clearly serious issues to be resolved. I left him a message in chat, we shall see.
