RE: Notification bug fixes and new upload endpoint switcher on d.tube
Thank you for attempting to explain this but to us new people to the platform we still dont really understand. Is there something wrong with the code that connects Dtube to Steem and by selecting "uploader.oneloved.tube" fixes that. Is that what your trying to say in lamens terms? If we dont select anything it will keep giving us the error. Als if we pick "cluster.d.tube" what happens then? I'm sorry but I am pretty new here and they keep making changes so it is hard to keep up. Thanks for your post I kinda understood it but I still don't understand what it means or does.
The whole point of having alternative uploaders is to have redundancy so that if an upload server goes down for any reason, there are still other servers (owned by different people) to upload to. @onelovedtube offers a paid IPFS hosting service that enables users to pin their videos through a Discord bot (for videos uploaded to DTube's servers), or a direct upload through the uploader (uploader.oneloved.tube). Videos pinned to our servers are playable indefinitely (as long as the file is available on the IPFS network).
cluster.d.tubeis DTube's endpoint for their official upload servers, which is the default if nothing is selected.
