Upload a video to DLive & Auto Posting to Steem! [o10] #tenminteach
another video for the help center in the hope that i get noticed by the big dlive algorithm in the cloud and hopefully will bring you some knowledge as a first time user if you are wondering out the process works especially when it comes to the steem blockchain.
when you upload a video (it’s the same for dtube) to the dlive platform you are asked for a title, body and some tags. it uses these in the same way as writing a post on steemit — i find it’s better to write in your favourite markdown editor and copy and paste, saves losing it and you have a backup to work from for next time.
in the video i try and walk you through what happens when you upload a video (in fact, i’m going to record the process of me uploading this very post’s video) to dlive — it’s just a series of steps and as long as you have optimised your video clip then it should not take too long to upload.
remember when you use your login details on @Dlive you are logged onto the steem blockchain, the same blockchain that your steemit.com blog is connected too, when you are entering a title, blog contents it’s exactly like you would if you were writing for your blog so remember to put all your footers and graphics in! :)

My video is at DLive
I am having real problems to upload to DLive.
Please look at it here:

The problem does also occurr with the Chrome browser... Any
idea how to fix this ? Should I try to encode the 640x480 sized MP4 file again ? It just has normal 25 Hz frame and data rates, was encoded by Powerdirector and the file plays fine in Firefox and Chrome, if I directly drop the file into these browsers....
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Hmm, my Mp4 file is a 4:3 type in 640x480 size , as it came from an old video tape...
So maybe I should reformat it into 16:9 by using black borders around it and rescale it to 1280x720p then ?
Or I could try to upload it to Youtube and then download the 720p version from there and try to upload this then ??
sorry i don't know with powerdirector. i use a mac. sorry!
What is the difference between dlive and dtube? I've tried putting some videos on dtube, but sometimes it just hangs on encoding. Do I need to wait even longer? I see some people get big votes from these services and that may result in more traffic than they can handle.
only difference is that dlive has live streaming capability too. they both use ipfs for decentralized storage, which is awesome. weird you are having trouble with encoding. both work flawlessly for me, some people are getting votes for contests and 'requests' from the help centre they are building out yes. not sure if they have a traffic problem, just more of a scaling problem, you need the problem to be able to fix it. so it's all good for beta testing.
I’m going a bit crazy with dtube today, can’t even imagine trying out dlive.
Why can everyone else upload to dtube and I can’t?? 😳😳
well in the times that i've had a problem with @dtube it's been a dropping connection problem, so i use a vpn for a solid connection, any drop or latency can totally mess up the upload process, if it's getting super busy from overload then it's gonna be problematic, maybe @steevc is right, maybe it's just super busy with it getting so popular -- i'm using dlive at the moment, i find @dlive uploads are working out for me, but i'm doing them there because they had a #help-centre requirement for tutorial videos which was right up my street. how's thailand? keeping well?
I feel like it’s worth mentioning that (to the best of my knowledge) there is no beneficiary split with dlive.
@teamhumble can you use obs on mobile? Or it has to be on a system?
yes, it's possible i think, i'll look at that next, it's a big difficult thou because of the way you have to have new details each time to set it up.
