RE: DailyMastermind 48 | GIVEAWAY 5 SBD FOR THE BEST IDEA TO IMPROVE DTUBE

in #giveaway7 years ago (edited)

I agree with @fujiwara that "Better streaming" should be addressed, by my concern is more with "speed" than with "quality." My experience thus far is that @dtube is virtually UNUSABLE because of slow steaming/buffering problems, and I know many Steemians who agree.

Granted, my Internet connection is not fast, but other streaming services (Vimeo, Vevo, YouTube, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc.) seldom pose a problem for me. However, Dtube always loads slowly, on a consistent, predictable basis. As an example, a music video recently took 40 minutes to load ONE-minute of the 4-minute video, after which I gave up. Your video last night was buffering even more slowly, at a rate of one-second-of-video loading every one-minute-of-waiting.

I am aware that where I live (eastern US) has much slower Internet than Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, and many other places in the world. But if streaming cannot be improved so the site becomes usable for everyone, as is Vimeo/Vevo/Youtube/etc., what good is it?
