Just Discovered DTube! I love the idea, but first upload is proving difficult. Help please!

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)

Yesterday I discovered DTube and watched a flurry of videos in excitement. The idea of a fully decentralized YouTube is genuinely amazing, and I want to ditch YouTube for it ASAP. There is one problem: I can't upload videos!

When I try I get the following error:

I tried restarting the browser, uploading different ways, using different browsers, dropkicking my computer across the room, and after multiple iterations of the aforementioned, none of it worked. Do any of you know what is wrong and/or how to fix this error? I am currently trying to upload through Mozilla browser as a last ditch effort, but it seems unresponsive. Any help greatly appreciated!

Also, does anyone know if they have live streaming planned in the future?

As a quick followup for anyone who may stumble across this thread in the future, I was able to finally upload my video by reducing the quality of the video from 1080p max specs to 480p. At 480mb I was able to upload it without a hitch. It seems that there is a size limit on uploads, so if anyone else has the same issue I recommend compressing or reducing the quality.
