I setup my dTube account. I tried to upload a video and it looks to go through correctly. However when I upload the snap (Thumbnail), I get a IPFS error message.
I tried to upload different videos and my jpg's are quite small.
Does anyone have any ideas? I would like to start posting ALL of my videos on the blockchain.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Hello folks! I'm a web developer and been uploading videos to d.Tube almost every day. I will resume here the "not do" and "have to" for a success full publication on d.tube.
Some times, even following that it doesn't work, probably because the network is saturated. If that's the case go do some nice fun stuff for some hours and try again later :)
Dude I have tried to load videos up and have waited days and hours, done every thing you have suggested and all videos are below 1Gb my videos won't load? Is there something I am missing? should the PAI setting be adjusted? do I need to be on IPSF? any would be great I really want to start utilizing the platform.
I have also tried multiple browsers, MS, Chrome, Firefox???
Here try this fix Dtube Uploading Problem |Snap Issues| Submit To Blockchain Issues| Solved
Is the lower that 1Gb restriction still current? Literally all of my videos are over 1Gb as they are all 4K!! If this is really the case here goes a new DTube user leaving as soon as he arrived!
Then lower the res? lol 4k on Dtube though lmao gl with that :)
Videos with 1Gig max? well thats not realy an alternative to youtube not even close... They need to get there shit straight!
my video is less then 50mb, image also, I have very fast internet, it just lists the error over and over: Error submitting to the blockchain.
make sure your tag isn't more than one word no spaces I have to put a comma after my one word tag to make it work.
Were you ever able to upload to DTube?
I have tried to upload my first video and it is stuck on point 2. It wants a Snap shot but the video didn't even upload? It's completely stuck. It's been 3 days
yep, me too!
same here (Australia 12pm), but with a smaller 10mb video and 60kb thumb.

my post. I used firefox for the fix.
That didn't solve my problem : (
The red checkmark next to "submit" NEVER turns green. (sigh)
Having this exact issue, after last submitting content about 24 hrs prior just fine, now I cannot upload a 1.2 MB video file at about 29 seconds. I, too, am receiving the same error prompt.
@heimindanger any leads to assistance on this would be most helpful, thank you in advance!
Wow that just helped me
thanks for help, but when I upload big file (715 MB ) the system don't Submit my Video to blockchain and stop in phase 3 (Submit Enter title and details). did I have to upload it again !!! . OR WHAT TO DO?
so im not the only one with this problem, lol I feel like were missing something.
If you are using google chrome via computer or smartphone and it doesn't work try switching to Firefox. It worked for me.

my post
That didn't work for me.
So I guess we keep trying. Lol. It's been so consistant with the same exact issue I just don't know what else to do.
Glad i came across you guys. I been testing to see if i can upload my vids. And it is frustrating ....i thought i was doing something wrong. Ive done everything everyone here suggest...n even when it tells me it could download. I close my screen n next day i come back to check n it shows only a picture, if im lucky...but most of the time it jist takes my time away and I end up with an empty video, error message, and i honestly dont want to go back n try again (sad face)
I have tried all the above techniques at all different times of the day, that submit button refuses to work.... help dtubers!
If you are using Google chrome and doesn't work then switch to Firefox. I used my phone for that issue resolve.

That sucks because it works for me on phone but laptop firefox doesnt work well with dtube.
I think its because the fake alt is actually maintained by the CIA and this is their push and its just a big crypto ponzi and all so called alt are in on it
Oh, yeah, definitely there are controlled opposition alt sources, be it CIA or several other alphabet soup agencies that front for those who believe they should be ruling over everyone.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!
I came here too so I could use DTube and have tried repeatedly without success to upload a video. I have another account at bitchute.com. You can set it where when you upload a video to youtube, it automatically uploads to bitchute. No limits and no hassles. No points or money either.
YT sucks, and bitchute does look like a pretty good option, but I don't know anything about the company or who runs it. I like this platform because of the lack of censorship (unless that changes) just based upon the principle of it! Of course getting a some rewards instead of having your vids wrecked with adds, view count manipulations and de- listing of content in the search is a huge bonus too! Good luck, I hope this helps you out!
holy crap you did it!!!

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I did finally get it to work. It seems in part it was due to the error of my not putting a tag in.
Someone in the community here reached out to me and walked me through it. Thanks, Paul!
I really do like it here and the people are fantastic.
Can you solve that problem because I have the same. I uploaded the video but can't submit. I even split the video but same.
Thanks for this. I did it during the upload and made the file less than 1 gig. Do you suggest we do during off hours or just random times to see if it'll upload. Also is there a way to upload the video and keep it on DTube? I upload the video and get denied on the cover image. But it's nowhere to be found on my account as even unpublished. I'm new here so I wonder if it's anything like YT?
Check it viuly.io
thank you i am having the same issue here
I have also the same issue ...
thanks i will try these suggestions
HI i have problem with thumb video loaded i upload snap and even when i t finshed uploading video its not going to past this step 2 with snap.....
Hey @cryptosergio can you try to upload on d tube with mobile and leave us feedback here on your results !?
guess I need to check if mine are under 1 gb... still have et to get any videos to work
eh thanks for telling us, Dtube lol
This is no solution. My video uploaded so fast I couldnt upload the snap also. This is a major and quite possibly a critical flaw that must be fixed or this platform will be doomed. Go away and come back later? in todays days of news coverage breaking....this is a solution? I dont think so.
my problem is the same my video is 240mb and the snap is 42kb and still it do not work for me d-tube is still buggy as shit
and i can not wait so long with uploads i mean i have since 3 days and upload working and still it is not online !
What does it mean when you click the submit button and nothing happens after everything is uploaded?
I have a problem of uploading video.
All the processes went good but I just CAN'T play my videos!
Does anyone know how to fix it??
I've uploaded one video.... couldn't play it back. Tried to upload again, it's still not playing back. Not sure why.
You have to use (mp4) format or (WebM ) only. and dont close the tab you use it to upload until you play the video.
Sometime you must wait a little bit. When you use a mobile deveice it is not working.
To delete a video you have posted on Dtube, just log into you Steem account and find the post/video. From there you can delete it.
Thanks for your feedback. We are aware of the problems and our devs working on it. After couple of days the website going to be really smooth. Sorry for the incovenience you faced while you are using Platform and thanks for your Feedback . Have a pleasent day :)
Thank you very much for the reply. I am very interested in dTube and would like to post all of my videos there.
"couple of days" 5 months later and I cant even Upload a fkn Video...
same here!
same - video and snapshot loads, but the submit button won't click through.
https://steemit.com/dtubeerrorfix/@onibyron/finally-found-the-solution-to-dtube-upload-errors#comments
this should help if you were using google chrome
why leave this post when you know it does not work
Are you still having problems?
I'm stumped myself.
Hi, I am new to d-tube. I managed to get one video uploaded. But I'm struggling to upload my next video. The video is MP4 and it is 32 minutes long. I've followed the process exactly as described above and at the end I just get "ERROR Unkown Error". Can someone please help me? My snapshot is a .jpg file and my video is mp4. I have 1 video uploaded already and the first one uploaded fine. I'm stumped why I can't get the other one up. Can someone guide me?
Two of the three videos I posted won't play. Everything looks fine, they just show a play button, and when pressed nothing happens. Is this a known bug?
Me too. My first video, and it doesn't play.
same here.
i'm having the same issue - waited to make sure had all three checks on the upload page but still it won't play
I am using iPad, and cannot upload videos. It always crashes during upload.
https://steemit.com/dtubeerrorfix/@onibyron/finally-found-the-solution-to-dtube-upload-errors#comments
should help
I'm having the same problem. Okay, thanks. Will try again in a few days :-)
Hi emmacairo,
What browser are you using? If it is Safari that is the problem - try firefox :D
I tried crome and safari. Haven't tried firefox. Thanks, I'll try that :)
Thanks.. I'm using Chrome & having the same issue with IPFS uploading snapshot.. Will try Firefox
Yes!! FireFox worked like a charm!!
lies it does not I think only people this works for are fake account run by steemit and their fake alt media
I still can't uplade any videos. It says IPFS error every time I try. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Is this issue back again?
I think so :/
Have those particular problems been solved - i would love to be able to use Dtube - but i get the thumbnail upload errors too!
Thank you :D
Unfortunately they have not been solved yet. For the past week I have been trying to upload a video - exact same problem.
Today is the 9th October.
Still can't upload.
Yeah me too, I gave up for about a month and came back today but still can't get it to upload properly.
Same here. Very frustrating!

Same here!
Hi there :D
If you are using Safari for Mac that is the problem ... try using Firefox for Dtube and your problems will all be solved!
Using Chrome. I'll try Firefox. Thanks for the tip!
I use Opera, but thought that maybe it was the browser, switched to Firefox but the problem persists, kept getting an error message that I totally did not understand. IPFS error, and I really have no clue what that means.
still no go for me :(
Hey I have been trying for weeks now and I still can't get a video up because of Snap issue. I have a lot of great content to upload as well :(
it keeps saying error when i pick a video over 8mins long is this normal?
What kind of error ?
I am hitting submit and nothing is happening. I would like to upload my videos to the blockchain. Can you help me out with this?
same problem. I can upload snapshot and video, but submit button will not work.
hi,
still facing the IFPS issue. Once video and snap is uploaded, the moment i click on submit getting a message please upload the video. pls. help
That is a general issue Dtube facing right not it will be fixed as soon as possible
same issue (
I tried to upload a video (1,5GB) to dtube, after spending over 4hours of uploading (each time i tried) i got the IPFS error, I tried 4times total, same error everytime. just wanted to let you know, seems like you are connected to the dtube dev team. I hope you guys can fix this, as I rather want to use dtube than youtube.
Videos larger than 1GB can face with the problem I reccomend you to lower the video resolution and try again howeve this week Dtube was having some problem in uploading it is fixed now it might be because of that. Thanks for feedback
So at less than 1 GB that means the video resolution will be very low.
Normally I don't like replying to old threads, although its been two months since you've posted and I have this exact issue.
Thank you thank you thank you to you the devs and everyone else who has the abilities to work on this platform to make it what it is... already the most amazing social media platform out there!!!
Was that sarcasm?
nope... I'm not a programmer, so does it seem like sarcasm?
Why developer don't include info about format type and size limit Required in upload page? and how to deal with errors uploaders face.
This is still an issue, or random error message with no real data to tell what is going on...
I'm about to give up on Dtube and Steemit. I've tried everything. All my travel videos are small too. :(
I'm with you. Months of trying.
It finally worked for me. Check out my post!
I noticed that this post was posted 6 months ago and I still can't upload a single video on Dtube. What's the deal?
Hi, I am new to d-tube. I managed to get one video uploaded. But I'm struggling to upload my next video. The video is MP4 and it is 32 minutes long. I've followed the process exactly as described above and at the end I just get "ERROR Unkown Error". Can someone please help me? My snapshot is a .jpg file and my video is mp4. I have 1 video uploaded already and the first one uploaded fine. I'm stumped why I can't get the other one up. Can someone guide me?
I'm also having problems uploading video to Dtube.
Does anyone know which video format(s) is the best one to upload on Dtube?
IDK if this will help anyone... but, I have heard that you need to wait for your video to upload, entirely, before you try to upload your snap-shot. I am going to go and try this myself, right now...
Also, can anyone point me in the right direction when it comes to editing my video on a Windows computer? I'd like to do some editing before trying to upload raw video. I've been out of the video-editing game for a while now, so I don't know the good software any more. By "good" I mean free, shareware, free of watermarks, bugs, etc. Is there some good shareware or freeware out there when it comes to video editing???
Any help here would be much appreciated.
I struggled as well but succeeded once I ironed out the export settings on the video.
Video Codec: H.264/AVC
Frame Size: 1280x720
Video Bitrate (critical): 3200
Framerate: 30fps
Audio: MPEG-2/4 Audio
Sample Rate: 48000Hz
Size: 16Bit
Audio Bitrate: 128kbps
Channels: Stereo
Thank you. This worked perfectly for me. https://dtube.video/#!/v/ecomisystems/ep31vjz4
I'm having this same error when I upload right now. Maybe you just need to keep trying because the network is busy?
My problem is that when the upload is finished I get an error saying please upload a video. Can you please help?
Yous should upload a snap while watching your video!
I cannot upload videos or snaps on Dtube. Has anyone had any luck with this yet?
I have the same problem. My main browser is Firefox and I've problem whith it. Chrome, mobile Chrome for Android, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave doesn't work properly. I'm tried with short name, with different amount of tags. My video is in mp4 ~400MB of weight. After upload I don't see these strips.
I've tried multiple times and still see beautiful red information:
What can I do? :(
Ok, I found solution for my problem. My source file was damaged before edit by Sony Vegas...
Been complaining about this for a week.
Installed Firefox and everything works now.
I was using Chrome before. Worked great until recently. How can we be having an issue with the most popular browser in the world ...
Still can't upload videos to d.tube...
So I tried everything and nothing worked until I added one tag by typing it (not copy and paste) all lowercase. Also, I noticed that the video file title I was uploading had spaces so I removed the spaces and added a dash. It finally worked!
I've had no problems uploading videos now, at first l had a problem. I was using Opera Browser with VPN on and was able to upload videos, but not publish them. When I turned off the VPN. I was able to upload videosand pulish them. So people who are using browsers with VPN. Should turn the VPN off to upload videos to D.Tube or use a different browser for uploading D.Tube videos. Only Problem I have now is, I can't edit the video description once a video has uploaded or delete a video, if I wanted to replace it with video with a proper description.
I tried it on 2 different days, it says Error while submitting to blockchain... doesnt matter which size... im not sure whats happening. i did one video a few days before, it worked, now its not anymore...
My solution turned up to be a need for a new browser. Check out my little article:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@triviumfilm/steemit-and-dtube-bug-free
Not that surprising, I bet they've seen a spike in uploads the last few days. I think this is more of a proof of concept for now. Patience.
Ok, thank you. I think the popularity is going to explode.
i think the network not so advanced to take load of many user, as user increasing, they have to upgrade software soon.
I don't yet understand what Dtube has over steemit. I haven't studied it in depth yet.
You got further than I did homie! I've been having problems as well. This is a post I just put up about what I'm experiencing... Hopefully we'll find answers..
https://steemit.com/dtube/@thatdude/why-in-the-world-is-dtube-telling-me-my-private-posting-key-is-wrong
Interesting. I didn't have that issue.
Are you use the PRIVATE posting key, or just the posting key? Make sure you click that little button and it reveals a different key. Key is located in Wallet > Permissions (I think)
Reading your post just solved my issue with the login! Thanks!
Nice. No worries.
I have the same problem. I cant upload videos from my iPhone 6 camera roll or even upload a snap. IPFS error: file type is the error I get. shoot I cant even log on with my PC. works fine on the phone. HMMMMM
With mobile devices it doesn`t work.
Better you use chrome on PC.
I tried chrome. It didn't work.
Here's my problem: I keep getting an error to upload a snap, but then can't upload the snap, so I can't upload the video. Any thoughts?
I have the same, also looking for a fix?
Try clicking 'take snap' which will take a snap of a frame you want from the video. Go into your computer folders under 'downloads' find the snap and upload that. Hope this helps.
tried that still doesnt help
I can get the video to load now but can't get the snap. I click "take snap" and the snap shows up but I can't upload it. I have looked in the download file on my PC and it isn't there. HELP!!! Lol
I found a fix that worked for me. https://dtube.video/v/nicredvlogs/0trfhpv6
Even this video won't play on my computer....
still not working :(
I have the same problem, have you found a solution?
I'm also dealing wit the issue, getting the error no matter what i upload. Even when the video is uploaded and plays still gives me that error, screen cap also has same error. Aug 27, 2017 post
Im using chrome browser on samsung tablet. I add the video that i want to upload, it looks like its uploading (accordong to spinning circle) but nothing. It never shows the video at all. Cant figure out how to upload!
I got my video to upload but the snap is not working. It won't let me submit unless I have the thumbnail.
Same for me.
My first video didn't play, like everyone else here. Then I ran it through Handbrake and then that upload worked. Just did the same process and now the new one doesn't work. Really embarrassing to have a permanently nonplaying vid on the blockchain. I hope the fixes will make these dead videos come back to life.
I have also used what you recommended, which converted my video from 3.6 Gb to 1.24 Gb. I don't know what help is it the file size, or a different codec that the program encoded the file in. I'll experiment more, and see what gives the best results.
When I try to upload a video to DTUBE the spinning logo never stops and I cannot submit my content. Also under the video it says "Video bitrate: 0 B/s"
Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks.
I have the same problem I think. For it says "Video bitrate: NaN kB/s". I can upload perfectly fine to youtube, but not to dtube :( Please fix this
Mine was also spinning indefinitely, but I had a bitrate showing (10.1). On my 4th or 5th try, it finally uploaded and everything worked. I'm not sure if all the other times were just glitches. But it finally worked. I just posted about it here, if interested: https://steemit.com/video/@notagrouch/it-s-finally-working-uploading-to-dtube
Hey, i STILL have the same problems, have spent all night trying to upload, thinking it was my phones fault, every time i try to upload a video, i get to the thumbnail bit and it just won't work...either it will say my file size is too big (it isn't) or it will say i haven't got a thumbnail at all! someone please help, sincerely, a teenager in a lot of stress!
I managed to get two videos to load before I started getting the "something went wrong" screen upon attempting to upload videos. Haven't been able to upload for over a month. I was REALLY hoping that I could break away from YouTube.
For me, the thumbnail part works. But the video never seems to finish uploading. As it begins to upload, it starts playing. There is no progress indicator but I've waited for over an hour to finish uploading one 3 minute video and it never finishes. When I try to click on Submit, I get an error saying to upload a video before submitting. Anybody know how to address this?
It would be nice if dtube specified lenght and format restrictions or requirements. I've tried this with a quicktime file, m4v, mp4, but they all fail. Not sure what is the problem.
As soon as I started commenting about this, my upload finally worked: https://steemit.com/video/@notagrouch/it-s-finally-working-uploading-to-dtube
The same thing is happening to me today on D-Tube. Wondering if it has anything to do with possible censorship on the block chain / Steemit (which most people claim is not possible to be censored but I am starting to wonder): https://steemit.com/dtube/@elizabethrussell/fe2x6nxz
Of course it can be censored. Just because a website is decentralized doesn't mean the internet is ;)
I also are getting the same error all the time, try with 3 file formats and the same, hope can work soon!
Now the error appears when the upload seems to be finished. There is an "IPFS Error" when uploading
I'm getting that same error too after its finished uploading. Any fixes out there?
same here :(
same
Just happened to me too
Hi, this is what I did, https://steemit.com/dtube/@planetauto/dtube-upload-guide-which-format-to-upload-in today though i keep getting an error, very strange, hope it helps PS I also read about changing gateways etc in settings? anyone found a consistent fix?
I solved the problem in that way:
Use Chrome and close the browser when you get this error-message.
After restart its working. Sometimes you must restart 2 or 3 times.
I´, using chrome on osX wihtout any success - the video uploaded correctly butduringthe IPFS storing process nothing is happening at all - It seems that the video upload progress just dissappeard and I can try it again. I tried this process 4 times yesterday and I´m still not able to upload the video corretcty :( I tried it with Firefox as well - same issue :(
https://goo.gl/AZRFwc
I think I just figured out why this was happening to me on both firefox and chrome (OSX Sierra). There are firewall rules that will sometimes block your connection to the dtube servers.
For example, if you see something like:
"Deny outgoing connections to dtube2.gateway.ipfsstore.it"
"Deny outgoing connections to dtube1.gateway.ipfsstore.it"
That blocks any of the uploads from working. In my case, I am using little snitch, so I was able to adjust these rules.
Just uploaded my first video w/ chrome, and tested a snap/thumbnail failed upload on Firefox after disabling the rules, and that now works.
Give it a try and lmk if that works.
Still getting IPFS error while uploading Thumbnail. How will I upload that. I have tried several times. Is there any problem in dtube
I'm trying to use dTube and just can not get anything to upload. IPFS errors and after clicking submit nothing happens. Any ideas anyone?
Exactly! And this post was made 3 months ago and still hasn't been addressed properly?
No one is going to leave YouTube and other platforms for Dtube if it's not working properly :(
Getting "IPFS Error while uploading" today while upload a video and snap,
same here!
I cannot even log in to Dtube. I keep getting an error popup. Very annoying! How can I upload a video when I cannot even log in?
So I found I got the same error on pc....someone mentioned it was a firewall setting. So I tried on mobile instead and it worked perfectly :) that's the work around, I hadn't tested changing any firewall settings. Did you use bit defender?
i still cant seem to make Dtube work. everything is fine till step 3 where I need to add info about the video. Step 3 just doesnt work at all. Tried Firefox and Explorer... :( 1 full month already Im trying every day
I can't edit my uploaded videos it shows problem while submitting to blockchain. Also I can't even reply to the comments.
I tried today. I have been on Youtube since 2006, and in internet years that is the equivalent of the bronze age to modern people. So far - Dtube is a pile of shit.
Having the same problem as other with the snap IPFS error on mobile. Gotta day this is pretty disappointing.
I have the same problem... any details?
for me the upload doesn't even move a notch and then stops like a reset
I'm using the newest version of firefox on a mac and it's not working. I was able to upload videos a week or so ago. I'm sure the dtube crew is working on it.
i've also a problem with d.tube uploads so far.. thumb upload while video upload works fine, but after video upload the system tells me that mime type or video format is unknown :-/ i've tried already mpg, mp4, avi, m2ts.. nothing works so far, dont know whats wrong.. :-/
I've uploaded a video that uploaded without audio for some reason.
