After Dtube and the announced https://view.ly/ by user Furion another decentralise video site has appeared.
It's called Viuly.io causing some name confusions here and there I guess.
They have an Alpha test site so I decided to upload a video to see if it works at all.
There is a lot of work to be done for sure. But I did manage to upload a video!
Test Video: https://viuly.io/video/421
Viuly.io
The good:
Registering is Easy
Site looks nice
Videos load fast (on my end)
Bad:
Uploading is really slow.
Uploading does not always work after pressing finish (the final step).
Even though I uploaded a video it's not visible on my own channel under my username.
my feed is empty even though I have uploaded videos
I really like all the development that is going on in the decentralize video department. I can only see this improving over time.
► DTube
►
Viuly, I think its made by a russian team of devs. furion had mentioned it in a post cautioning investors.
It'll be interesting to see which one of the three (DTube, Viewly, Viuly) are adopted by the masses. I'm placing my bets on Viewly, mainly because I'd invested in their recently concluded pre-ico.

I also uploaded the video to Viewly Alpha and I must say it went very smooth.

That's very nice to hear. Are rewards enabled for that video? I just had a look at the trending page of Viewly, there are some videos that show some decent rewards.

I don't understand why video is so slow downloading?(not much servers around the world?)
YouTube video runs better. Click and you watch video, but vewly and Dtube you need waith to download.

Even if you enjoy the new "viuly" I would certainly stick with Viewly so far and be very cautious.

Other upcoming ICOs also include Stream Space and Flixxo. With Flixxo being especially interesting so far in my opinion, for instance because of Federico Abad (The creator of Popcorn Time) working on the UX / UI.

Decentralized video has a long way to go.
I tried Dtube, I know about viewly.
You can tell easily some fishy with the name viuly too close to viewly.
Wait and see.
Keep on steemit.

Hey @exyle if you're trying other platforms, you may enjoy https://spee.ch. It's built on the LBRY blockchain and is, IMO, the best one available right now.

Scam Alert: Impostor sites
Posted on 2017, Sep 29 by view.ly
We have noticed a recently created Russian copy-cat of Viewly, sneakily named Viuly. At first, we found it funny, but soon the frightening realization set in - some people will unfortunately fall for it.
We believe the impostor is trying to capitalize on the upcoming view.ly token sale, by confusing the newcomers and/or taking advantage of people that hear about Viewly sale, but miss it.
Where can I find the real Viewly?
https://view.ly - Viewly
https://alpha.view.ly - Viewly Alpha
https://t.me/viewly - Telegram group
Which sites are not related to Viewly
viuly.com
viuly.io
viewly.com*
*viewly.com is not fraudulent, they just don’t want to sell their domain at this time.
We expect more sites to pop up, some of them more obviously fake (ie. direct copies of the website), as Viewly gains traction. We will keep this list up to date on our blog. If you find an impostor or misleading site, please let us know.
Be vigilant, stay safe. - Viewly Team

I think there is room for more than one service. I'm hoping Dtube will do well (of course). I think Video hosting is very important for the growth of the Steem blockchain.

I read that. It's one of the reasons I wanted to try it out. It works (sort of) and I didn't have to invest or pay anything to try it so I can't see the scam aspect yet.

I'm usually very slow to call anything or anyone a scam, but in this case they have a very similar name that they published after Viewly and at the very least claimed to have people working for them that it appears have publicly refuted this.
If I'm wrong and I'm being taken for a fool by others, please correct me. But for now I would be very careful with this new site.

I can't tell you whether you are right or wrong tbh. I don't know the facts. I just tried it to see what it was and if it had merit. It works and it didn't cost me anything to upload my video (when it worked).
I'm not investing anything in their ICO btw.

All these developments look nice but the logo of Viuly and it's name is bound to cause confusion. Also I see thumbs up and down buttons and not upvote buttons like I expected. The site looks nice and the video works at least.
We'll have to see who will be the decentralized "youtube" of the future.

Great post wow that's something new to me, i watch your video at https://view.ly/ and the video plays out fantastically and i really like it's result it's fabulous my friend, you say there is a little problem while uploading the video, i think there is always room for improvement in any development. i hope the user Furion working on it to overcome these flaws, so all in all this is another wonderful development and it surely helps strengthened the steemit blockchain even more, these development are pointing that steemit is growing slowly and steadily, thank you very much friend for sharing your good knowledge with us, enjoy your weekend.

Of course the project is raw and it will have to be settled, but the main thing in my opinion is that Viuly seeks to change the multibillion-dollar online video market through decentralization based on the blockchain. Its revolutionary platform will reward authors, users and advertisers, while eliminating intermediaries and access restrictions. Thank you @exyle

Actually, I have seen video hosting sites, new browsers and many other new things dedicated to serve the crypto world. It seems as if the decentralized world is coming up with parallel solutions against each and every service already available in the centralized world.
I support all these services. However, quality services/solution is the key.
Thanks for sharing @exyle.
Keep updating, caring, educating and inspiring the world more. You're already a star and hero for many Steemians. Keep it up man.
Steem On!

Good one @exyle. I face loading problem there so didn't sign up. Youtube loads too much faster even in normal bandwidth in our country since they have their own server there, other video sharing platforms perform really slow.
Still dtube loads faster than other but haven't you faced any problem with dtube too? mostly have problem with uploading.
And just yesterday I noticed that dtube video inside steemit post wasn't showing/embedding.

I really loved reading your posts. I also checked viuly , didn't like much so haven't decided yet to sign up there.
May be I'll be there after seeing more good reviews but now for now. But as problem you mentioned above, I faced them with dtube too. Sometimes it don't upload, sometimes problem with submitting, white space like you said,So I stopped uploading there too.
May be this blockchain thing is not suitable for video hosting??

Don't worry I have these same troubles from time to time. I always post a youtube link too in case it doesn;t work.
ps. If you have the time could you try some different gateway's and see if they work (top right settings icon ---> gateway ---> choose different ones.)
