All kinds of issues with DLive. DLive seems to lack functionality and support.

in #dlive7 years ago (edited)

Unless i'm misunderstanding something (and i may be as detailed below) - i was the only person streaming using the tag during one of the competitions (Saturday, 13 Jan. 2018), so by default i'd assume I had the most views. I was on the top of the "hot" section for the DLiveStar tag on Steemit, and like i said the only one streaming during the allotted time.

I was confused because on the DLive site it only showed 1 channel live on the trending tab, but none if any filters are used (including DLiveStar), despite the fact that i'm live as i type this (using said tag). Outside of the homepage of DLive where 5 channels are shown (not including mine), there's almost no way to find live channels.

On a related note, it seems the max bitrate this site can handle is ~3000kb/s which is quite sub-par for high-quality/definition gaming (especially in 60fps), barely enough for 720p/30fps. I usually try to stay above 9000kb/s on youtube for 1080p/60fps. I know my internet connection can handle it, so i'm assuming it's the site causing the issue.

My broadcasts are never saved as they're meant to be after the fact, none show on my "past broadcasts page", and I've never seen my own channel listed with other live channels. From what i can tell the site lacks major functionality. I've seen no support to speak of (i have submitted tickets on the site, and made replies to competition posts on steemit), only empty promises of competitions with vague outcomes on steemit.

Not trying to offend, just some honest feedback from a hopeful new user.

PS on steam tags all have to be lower-case, and on DLive the "DLiveStar" tag seems to autocorrect to "DliveStar" once entered. Not sure why, but if it really is case sensitive that could be a part of the problem.
