Hello @threespeak Community Members & Hive Community Members,

With this post, I'll share the development updates & items on which I (@sagarkothari88) was working. Accidentally, OBS decided to pick a different audio device & due to which no audio was captured. You can find updates as follows.

Setting Up Acela-core

  • Acela-Core is a new backend core for decentralized video applications on HIVE.
  • It supports both off-chain & on-chain data.
  • I (@sagarkothari88) checked it out locally & resolved all the issues he faced.

Setting up .env & resolving related issues

  • To run, you need some of the configs.
  • After coordinating with the team, I got the necessary env variables.
  • Even after that, I faced some errors due to missing env variables.
  • After turning off cluster-related services, I was able to move forward.

TUSd uploader

TUSd Hooks

  • Even after running it, It kept throwing errors.
  • I created a data folder locally & updated runTusd.sh as follows.
  • It resolved TUSd issues.
  • As you can see here, I changed upload-dir from /data to ./data

tusd -upload-dir=./data/ \
     -base-path="/files" \
     -host="127.0.0.1" \
     -port="1080" \
     -behind-proxy \
     --hooks-enabled-events pre-create,post-create,post-finish,post-finish,post-terminate,post-receive \
     -max-size 5000000000 \
     -hooks-http http://localhost:4569/api/v1/upload/tus-callback

Other errors

  • I also encountered IPFS Cluster issues.
  • Those I managed to resolve by coordinating with the teI also encountered some compilation errors & got them fixed locally.
  • After all of these, I was all set.

Learning NestJS

  • Acela core is written using the NestJS Framework.
  • It's been over a year & I have not learned about NestJS.
  • I found a playlist on YouTube to learn NestJS.
  • I completed approximately 18 videos from that playlist.
  • After 18 videos, I started contributing to the Acela-core project.

Acela-Core - Posting Authority before logging in

Checking for Posting Authority

  • https://github.com/spknetwork/acela-core/pull/8/files.
  • Granting JWT Token only if posting authority is found.
  • This JWT Token will be used for upvotes, comments, and posts.
  • Without posting authority, all of the operations may fail.
  • So, it's best to check at the time of login /login_singleton
  • It would be the front-end's responsibility to get posting authority first.
  • After that front-ends can generate proof & proof of payload & - execute/login_singleton for logging in.

Acela-Core - Max 5 GB Upload

File Size

New FrontEnd - Video Format

  • This will be the third check we'll add to the upload process.
  • It makes sure that users are uploading videos in the right format.
  • With this, we wish to improve the upload experience.
  • This work is in progress.

Exchanging GQL queries

  • Juneroy & I exchanged several GraphQL queries.
  • With this, he could implement it on New 3Speak FrontEnd.
  • Shared Queries for the following:
    • Subscribed feed
    • Trending feed
    • New feed
    • First upload
    • Community Feed
    • Tags Feed

What are the next tasks?

  • Acela-Core - Fix Upvote API.
  • Acela-Core - create-upload API failing.
  • 3Speak Legacy Studio - Add posting authority using Active Key, which is not working.
  • 3Speak Legacy Studio - Connect the account using Active Key, which is not working.
  • 3Speak Legacy FrontEnd - 3Speak Twitter handle.
  • 3Speak Legacy FrontEnd - Update Twitter Icon.
  • New tasks will be assigned based on daily stand-ups.

Hi @sagarkothari88

Sorry, mate. I know your busy.

I've asked a couple of times but no joy. How do we download vids from Three Speak now, please? I have a few I'd like to edit and use but the download option is either gone or moved?

Thanks!
