RE: Piglet update # 2 Uploading Video to Steem and IPFS without Dtube / Tutorial / Instructions
I believe Steemit would have to change the site a bit to allow embedding IPFS and Dtube videos. For now the best you can do is make your photo link to the video. People seem to be loving the videos on Steem now so I'm sure embedding will come very soon.
Good idea with the photo linking to the video.
Thanks. Have you watched this video? Did it load OK for you?
It's really laggy especially at the beginning. Unfortunately, I suspect most people won't have the patience to wait for it to catch.
Only the first few will have to wait. Dtube has been only slightly faster for me. How is your experience?
DTube seems identical to me.
This technology is very new and only few people are using it. It works, but more people will need to begin to use IPFS for speed to become faster. Dtube only posts your videos to IPFS for you. If you run IPFS yourself you don't need Dtube.
Unfortunately, that's no longer true: videos are uploaded to D.Tube internal server cluster at cluster.d.tube and are streamed from video.dtube.top. They changed it because IPFS was becoming too slow: https://nannal.com/dtube-past-present/
Thank you for this update @elevatrsimulatr
I wouldn't blame it on IPFS though. Since users weren't required to run IPFS when viewing Dtube videos, there weren't many people contributing to seeding/sharing.
Peertube is an awesome alternative that's actually decentralized / federated
