RE: DTube 0.2: Faster to serve videos, Stronger to resist censorship
This is a great project and timing of it couldn't be better. The amount of demonetized videos on YouTube is growing on a daily basis. I have seen some great Youtbers getting their incomes cut for no good reason.
Btw, I tried playing a DTube video a few days back and nothing would happen. Maybe the system can't handle heavy traffic yet?
Most of the changes today address that (especially people running a local copy and the Automatic Gateway), should run way better now.
Ok, that's good to know. I hope the system can really scale to handle all the "Youtube refugees" that I'm sure will be pouring into this service as political censorship continues on YouTube and Google.
Which video did you try playing?
The one with the solar eclipse: https://dtube.video/#!/v/stealthtrader/y1l68oyg
I tried it again today and it seems to work now.
It's likely the video you were trying to watch wasn't on the gateway you were using, so you were forced to wait for the gateway to download it.
Now the gateway is assigned based on the video's hash and as such that shouldn't happen any more.
Glad to see things are better for you.
