Any idea why I see this?

I will have to check the logs when I get back from the Easter break tomorrow. Might have already been deleted so the bot could not fetch it
thanks. i don't know how long dtube stores videos, but it's still playing in dtube and the vid is only about 8/9 days old.
Could be because your file is 500+MB and the bot is timing out. Will check

ok, thanks!
@quochuy True, the more nodes we have the better pinning will be. I set up a node and pin my videos and they seem to have better playback due to this. Hope more people using dtube alot takes some time to set up their own nodes. @gray00 @vaultec and @techcoderx are massive resources getting these nodes up and running.

Can you copy/paste hash into dtube now? Is this a recent thing or am I just dumb? As I wanted to do it the last couple of videos I posted a million years ago but couldn’t figure out how 😆

It's been there for a while now, at least since I started using DTube. When you upload a video, there is an "Advanced" tab where you can copy/paste the IPFS hash to your video files.
Hm I probably saw it and was too dumb to know what it was for, now I know, thanks XD
This is important information for me. I have been putting on videos from 1998 that I was hoping to always be able to find online. I will no longer be using D.tube.
Resources cost money, hard drives get full quickly when storing videos in multiple resolutions. YouTube has enough money and are running ads so they are able to keep your videos for free “forever”. DTube is not backed by a monster company, so they have limited storage and rely on decentralised network of IPFS nodes to help with the storage. But again, hard drive will get full sooner or later I currently provide free IPFS pinning but my hard drive will be full and I might or not be able to afford an upgrade.

I keep trying to explain this to people but I don’t think they like the explanation 😅

That's the draw back of decentralised hosting, some people have to step up and contribute to the hosting.
That's the other thing I keep saying that people don't like XD
Buying fruits and veggies in a shop is easier than growing it ourselves. Chemical fertilisers are easier than organic compost. Same with centralised services vs decentralised ones. We give more power to people but that means they have to do more effort to use that power.

I think I understand. I probably should put everything I want to keep on Youtube first until D.tube gets stronger. Your information is very helpful. Thank you.
You can still upload them to both and use the IPFS bot I mentioned in the post above to help keep your DTube video alive for longer. This way you can still get upvotes from the community.
I suggest you start with uploading to DTube first so that it is created before the Youtube version so people can't blame you from copy/pasting your own content from outside the blockchain.
Nice, I never realised that is what happens with old Dtube videos - this will be really handy for people.

I hope they will increase storage space at some point and more people start their own IPFS node.
