< rant >

Fucking Dtube and Youtube and Steemit and everything in beta and technology and shit. I've now spend (read: wasted) an hour trying to upload a simple fucking timelapse video to Dtube but the fucker won't work. Video uploads in 10 seconds but it all fails when I try to upload the thumbnail.

And it's not like I'm stupid, I know how it should work. Upload a video clip - done -, fill in all the blanks - done -, upload a thumbnail - fail -! All I get is that stupid fucking rolling upload sign and errors saying upload a snap picture. I even tried making the image really small and tried both my own image and capturing it from the video. Neither works.

After giving the finger to Dtube, I tried the good ol' Youtube, but that won't work either. There the problem is that the video is somehow all mush. Can't deal with this any more today....

I get so mad when simple things like this don't work. It's not like I'm trying to send an 3 hour long 4K quality sex tape to another galaxy! How hard can it be!?

So no striptease for you, I guess I'll just stick to the photographs...

Maybe I'm just HANGRY... or PMS or what ever fucking excuse you wanna use.

</ rant >

Phew, I feel better now. Sorry about this, had to get it out.

Sort:  

I always have to upload snap first, then video, and I do it all through Opera browser AND I sign out of dTube and back in before each upload - whew!

Sounds easy and reasonable.

Do you also pray in between steps two and three and then give a human sacrifice before logging back in?

Human sacrafice is not required for Dtube uploads, they are reserved for making sure the sun rises the next day. =)

Whooops, I already did it.... But hey, we had a beautiful sunrise in here!

Then all is well. LOL!

Nice... you skip the sacrificing animals straight to the humans

Well humans like to believe that they are superior to animals. So naturally sacrificing humans should be more effective.

That was too good :))

It's not like I'm trying to send an 3 hour long 4K quality sex tape to another galaxy

Wait... whut? brb changing galaxy!

So no striptease for you, I guess I'll just stick to the photographs...

Did you want to upload striptease to youtube xD?

or PMS

😬😬 Now i'm afraid to even post my comment, I'm hiring some bodyguards after i post this comment

Lol had the same struggle today.

Now this could be just a coincidence (superstition) but managed to upload it using this formula.

  1. I've actually dragged&dropped the video - didn't go browsing my folders
  2. uploaded snap before the video finished
  3. entered all the desc field after the upload was done

Even using this method I've lost two tags along the way :)

Tried it all, in different orders, multiple times, nothing works. I gave up.

Yeah, I get you, I was just about to quit, go to YT and upload it there and just embed it to a regular post and then it finally got up.
Glad I didn't have to do that - it kinda misses the point of Steem.

Best of luck next time!

I’ve had that issue before try just taking a screenshotthen uploading and you should be good!

Oh yea, I forgot to list that - took a screenshot instead of loading my prepped thumb.

Nope, won't work, tried everything.

I still have problems sending E-mails.., I feel your pain , so can't help with the tech....Rant on ..it does help one feel better ...lol
No excuse necessary !

Well emails are so last season anyways ;)

I am always two steps behind when it comes to computer stuff...a real geek.....I live in a different world and thats ok... The rant was refreshing

You are in a blockchain based social media, a place that 99% teenagers haven't even heard of, so you are like three steps ahead, and I know you weren't born yesterday ;)

I can relate, when technology that is supposed to make things easier just doesn't cooperate it's SOOO frustrating! Especially trying to upload content that you've spent lots of time making/editing etc... and the "hard part" is SUPPOSED to be done with, and now just a few clicks to share all that hard work and then - nope fuck you glitches today, just for you.... lol

Back to the Stone Age, everything was so much easier. UGH.

Try google chrome!

Thanks for the tip, I'll try again tomorrow, can't take any more possible setbacks today 😅

Ain't NO BRO 😈😈😈

Do not worry about it. In the end, it will work and it will be ok!

I hope you are kidding, and if not...

Do you want me to bite your head off? 😈

would snickers help in this situation?:P

It might...

to achieve best possible results we will still have to use some more serious measures. just in case 😏

I TOTALLY FEEL YOU!!! Literally like 4 hours ago, I tried to upload my first d-tube vlog and it gave me so many issues.

  1. First it wouldnt let me drag the video, it just seemed to bug out and gave me the same notification error. So I went back and re-rendered the whole video in a different format. Then that format didnt work, so I steemed the problem and someone said I needed to turn off some obscure google proxy setting.
  2. I was waiting for like 20 minutes in the queue?? I have no idea why.
  3. When I finally uploaded the video, it wouldnt play for like 5 minutes and I didnt know why. I was so sad that my first vlog was going to be broken on the blockchain forever. Luckily it started playing after 5 minutes.
  4. This all happened after I had spent the last 6 hours trying to figure out how to use adobe video editor for the first time...

I'm really glad that we have @dtube as a video specific sharing software, and I likely wouldnt have made and eventually published my first video without them, but I really hope they sort out some of these issues.

Having said that though! Thanks for sharing your rant, it's nice to see other people having the same struggles as me :)
And keep on steeming!

As a newbie I'm still fighting with the input fields here in steemit.

Profile picture Url, instead of just upload an image or
you must fill in your website, in https://www.tttt.com to work.

Uploading a Video, will be so much fun. I can't wait :)

Wish I could waste time like that, make 100$ in less then 1 hour... while nothing works... :))

I feel you I had the same problem when I was trying to upload a cover photo.

Almost like in real life. Does it always work for you?

Have a break and a kitkat😉
Let it go. Enjoy the weekend.
We all deal with this on a daily basis.
I know I do
Its good too let off some steem😧💭😤sometimes.
Tomorrows another day.
Be good.🖒

the three hour 4k sex tape would load no problem, I feel your pain I have been trying to upload a cellphone video for a while and failed every time.

Hahahaha I feel you. Try to breathe and just say bad words in front of your computer in a calmed way :D. It works for me (sometimes). Writing is another way to relax
I'm pretty sure it will work idk if today or tomorrow but it will :)

I have the same problem right now!it's very frustrating and dsound is the same shit!

VERY GOOD SAID GIRL. 👍👊

Yes, I have the exact same issue. I have only been able to successfully upload one video the thumbnail image gets me every time and I just give up until I am calm enough to try again. Maybe your right, I may also be hangry when doing this process. I will snack and let you know how all goes :)

So...when/where will you be posting this 3 hour long, 4K quality sex tape? ..asking for a friend

Tell your friend the sextape already expired, sorry.
