How to Solve the Dreaded Unknown Error on Dtube

in dtube •  6 years ago 


This is a simple solution to solving many of your unknown errors on Dtube. I was unable to reply, comment, post videos, upvote or re-steem anything until I did this. Thanks to @martico for leaving a comment under another post. Without that I may never have solved this problem. Hopefully this fixes your unknown errors and thanks for watching!

You nailed this issue down. There is currently a problem with connecting to DTube with Steemconnect. Do not use it to login to DTube at this time!

I may make a follow on video too because I had to wait a very long time for this video to upload and I'm going to test a theory of mine which is that you need to log in with your private key, log out and then log in under steemconnect and try to upload a video. Someone mentioned to me that one log in over the other lowers the queue status. That could be complete crap but I'm going to test it out and see if it works.

It took me a lot of time to upload a video this morning as well. What seemed to be the problem is one user had uploaded a lot of videos at one time. If you check the new videos feed you will see one user had like 5 videos at once popup in a row except for maybe one video from someone else. DTube needs to limit people from mass uploading videos.

Good point. This could be a serious problem if they are about to open the gates for new users.

Been here...done that. I absolutely hate waiting in the queue for vids to upload. My main issues with DTube, beyond finding actual engagement, are the videos disappear after a while (like a month I think), and I'm not a fan of the live feature. The reason why is simple, it makes a post on the steemit chain, but then when the live feed is done, it comes up as an error or video won't load...because the system doesn't save the video, just streams it.

Since DLive is leaving the steem chain, I've been looking for live-style video platforms and came across bit.tube ...you should check that out as well. They give the option to connect and upload all of your youtube videos at once...haven't tried that yet but, I do have a channel I've been dumping Redskins clips/movies on.

Meant to add that bit.tube gives TUBE coins out as payment for watching and being watched.

I might make a post about it this week.

How long has that been around?

I can tell by the view totals that it hasn't been up very long...maybe a few months at most. The coin is tradable and usable online. I'll let you know more about it after my first "payout."

Yeah let me know. I might look into it. This medium I'm probably going to post my TTC stuff but also alot of random stuff too. Hey rumor has it that you let in a lot of spammers to the TTC Discord. lol

I'll let you know more soon on that...as far as discord, that's interesting...first I've heard of it. I haven't been on there in a while. I think Tyson is mad I didn't post a video promoting it. I use discord for a few groups I've found on here and Shango's Madden group, etc.

I thought he said you but maybe I'm wrong.

@cowboysblog, I gave you a vote!
If you follow me, I will also follow you in return!

Got you subbed.

look, i'm not shitting on dtube/steemit or anything, but this seems a bit too convoluted for the layman to really adopt on a scale that i'd like to see.

lol all I can say is patience is a virtue and Rome was not built in a day.

You had the same issue as me. At least I know I wasn't in it alone. I appreciate the help dude! Subscribed! :)

No problem!

Good one man. People can use this type of stuff. RC credits will be needed going forward to use up bandwidth. HF20 has caused some login issues but going around it is always the smart way anyway. Keep em coming.
