Australians Are Experiencing Censorship Of D.tube, Is @Partiko The Solution? - @D00k13 Digest #384

in dtube •  6 years ago  (edited)


What up my Steemians, welcome to the @D00k13 Digest, are you experiencing censorship of @dtube and video will not play in your area? Go download @Partiko and let me know if it helps solve the playability problem for you as it has for one other I know of!?

Download Here:

@Kaelci brought this issue to my attention when notifying the @freewritehouse she can no longer participate in the #FreeRead contest. She is able to watch videos only with @Partiko(huge shoutout for this @crypto.talk) and cannot upload through d.tube so I suggested trying @dtubenetwork. I imagine she could use a VPN but does not have a great connection speed so slowing it down further isn't the greatest option.

@DTubeNetwork Found Here:

She has mentioned that Dtube.Network does shows some thumbnails but videos still do not seem to play. The upload page does load so she will give it a try and see if she can upload a video so that she can participate in the @OneLoveDTube and @FreeWriteHouse collaborative contest. Last option is to offer her subscription for the One Love Uploader which should not be an issue as its for her to participate in our contest.

We will see how this all plays out and hopefully get her able to upload once again as she was just starting to get comfortable on camera.

A leaked email from optus.com.au states they are blocking d.tube along with a few dozen other sites by the request of the Australian Federal Police.

Changing your DNS to 1.1.1.1 people "should" be able to get to d.tube, if that does not work a VPN may be needed.

Excellent thank you for that information I did not know that! At least I do know now that it is actually federal level across all of Australia. Next time I come across someone having issues I will have to inform them about trying to change their DNS.

@d00k13 yeah it's due to the Christchurch shooting. The NZ and Aussie Telcos panicked knowing many sites would not honor a request to take down legal content so they outright banned their customers from viewing the content. I have not seen the Christchurch shooting video circulating dtube but if it did I wouldnt mind and I think it should stay online and available for anyone to view that chooses to.

Data should never be banned.

Agreed data should not be banned as it only creates room for confusion!

Excellent thanks a ton 💪 I have been wondering for quite awhile what Helpie is all about 😅

@d00k13 if you hang out in the MSP discord long enough they will probably invite you in.

I really enjoy being in the group, everyone is very friendly.

To be completely frank I just don’t have the time to waste being involved with MSP which has insulted one love community in the past!

I live in Canada and occasionally have problems watching d.tube video. I just watched this video on my PC, but it would not play on my Android phone in @partiko or in chrome thru dtube.network. I am wondering if this might have something to do with access to IPFS nodes?

Posted using Partiko Android

Yeah for my video specifically it’s an issue with the app which hasn’t quite been resolved yet, the solution that was previously found broke all other DTube links while making the One Love Uploder Videos playable..... the IPFS link at bottom of post should play from @Partiko

Posted using Partiko iOS

The IPFS link does play in @partiko. Any idea why dtube.network does not play on my PC?

Posted using Partiko Android

Excellent good to know that my solution using the IPFS link is still functional. As for D tube network that would be a question for @vaultec the dev

Posted using Partiko iOS

I am not sure why it does not play... Dtube network adopts specialized tagging so it can point to the correct embed.

Posted using Partiko Android

Any suggestions?

Posted using Partiko iOS

Issue is now resolved!

Glad I was able to lead you to discovering the solution 💪

Good work buddy ❤️

Posted using Partiko iOS

Found out the issue! It is something with the steem API, I am now correcting the issue.

Excellent 👌

Also it plays alright for me from d.tube on mobile chrome and safari .... odd how you required to use PC..... another curiosity I have seen happen before!

@mytechtrail

Some browsers have trouble with d.tube it seems. Trying another browser can help.

True that but usually Chrome is the fix.

Posted using Partiko iOS

@d00k13 may even be an overfilled temp files folder.. some of the simplest things may be the issue.

Posted using Partiko Android

Have you got any general rule of thumbs to suggest to people?

Like on mobile that would be considered clearing the cache or browsing history?

Posted using Partiko iOS

@d00k13 yeah just things like reinstalling the browser.. clearing temp files and upgrading the browser if it's far behind. Besides that changing browsers can fix it.

They can censor us but they can’t keep us quiet! No single point of failure with the steem blockchain

Posted using Partiko iOS

Exactly why work around solutions are so necessary!

Thanks for stopping in my friend 💪

Posted using Partiko iOS

Do you know if it is just DTube or YouTube as well? Very interesting times. Followed you :)

I believe it is just DTube and a few other alternative sites, check @solominers comment above for the “leaked” list.

With YouTube they can simply request a take down 😉

OMG thanks for the heads up! I'll give it a go at least then I can watch d.tube vids again.

Unfortunately if I want to start uploading videos again I'll need to sort out my VPN or DNS. It's been a brutal few months down under d.tube wise that's fo sure.

Alright, please let me know how it goes 💪

As stated by @solominer in a comment here the DNS should be the solution for you 👍

Posted using Partiko iOS

That is strange. I am having trouble watching on my Android tablet. It shows vids as having 0:00 minutes when I click on them. But it's fine on ym PC. I'm in Quebec. I think for me it's a setting or something on the tablet. I'll need to figure that out.

Posted using Partiko Android

How are you attempting to watch the videos on your tablet? Such as what browser or portal?

PC does seem to be the most supported option, sad when more people use mobile than PC in this day and age. Completely explains why were are stuck with low active users.

Posted using Partiko iOS

I do admit I am more of a computer person than a tablet person. But it IS practical. On my Tablet I have Android Lollypop installed and when I'm in Partiko, I just clock on the video image/icon to try to watch it. For some reason, it doesn't work for me. I'm wondering if it has to do with settings or permissions on my tablet. I am not a whiz at this sort of thing, so I wouldn'T begin to know where to look to test that out.

Yea it may be settings, have you tried clicking the little IPFS link at bottom of post?

I’m not a wiz either but I fiddle till I figure out what works 😅 I like the tablet or iPad for on the go more than just my phone due to its small screen.

For this video specifically, it is uploaded with the One Love uploader which does not play within Partiko for some reason. Still trying to work out the details but the IPFS link should play no problem 👌

Posted using Partiko iOS

Hmm, not seeing IPFS link on the tablet. Just seeing the thumbnail for the video with the video duration, which is what I clicked on before.

Gonna have to do that, I suppose, fiddle until it works 🤣
The tablet is the only smart device I have since I don't even have a dumb phone anymore. I transferred my number to a mail system to cost me less. I keep the number but can only receive messages with it, text or voicemail.

Posted using Partiko Android

At the bottom of the post try the IPFS link 😅

DD695DAE-858F-402B-9676-BDA26002FAFD.jpeg

Yea that’s a smart move if your not using it for business there is almost no reason to have one other than for messaging, I use mine constantly but I have almost no other way of accessing the internet while I’m constantly on the go!

Posted using Partiko iOS

I gotcha.
Oh, in another post, I saw IPFS and could click it. It just wasn't visible to me on this one. I checked permissions and stuff on the tablet. Everything seems fine. The Dtube app seems to be nonfuctional on my tablet, so that might explain a few things. If Dtube videos open in the browser, then it works.

Posted using Partiko Android

Yea I have never used the DTube app only partiko and the browser.... simple way to open the videos in browser from partiko is those DTube & IPFS links typically at the bottom of the post.

So many little bugs make solving the issue super complex but the dev of DTube.network is working to solve all these separate issues with how links are handled with a smart script.
