RE: Video won't play (removed)

in Deep Dives16 days ago

The latest one is at the top https://dailyrabbithole.substack.com/ - I done it a day early because in the one before, the videos had no sound so wanted to play them - about encoding - last five videos maybe on 3speak have had problems - mostly with encoding so they get an error and then don't post - not sure what it is. Hopefully it will be sorted - its happened a few times before, I usually just leave it a few weeks and then come back and its usually sorted - but in the meantime, its not much use posting there - so will just be posting on sub-stack until they have it sorted - or i figure out what is wrong - it might be my videos or something - "I will post the links in these posts - i'm open to using another video provider, apart from youtube, if you have one that you can embed on hive -

thanks!

Sort:  

I learned to embed Odysee video a few months ago, but that only works for Peakd users. Hive.blog blanks posts with video embedded from other platforms than X and Tubeyou, or at least blanked out my posts with embedded Odysee video, and BT pointed out the problem was Hive.blog. Ecency and other front ends may not have that problem, but after the confusion about what had happened was resolved, I stick to linking to Odysee rather than embedding. Asgarth and Jarvie at Peakd explained that Peakd can embed video from platforms that provide a 'share' link button (I dunno about Rumble, Substack, Bitchute and others, as I haven't tried to embed video from those sites), but Hive.blog either isn't capable of fixing the problem after months of Github requests, or prefer not to, for whatever reason.

Not being competent to code 'Hello World' to output, I sure can't cogently comment or resolve the problem myself.

I'll look into making another Odysee account - then all my videos should just auto upload there - here I will post a link like you said, maybe that will work - I have not really used Peaked, so will try here first - see how I go.

About the other video platforms - rumble etc., an embedding, I have tried them all and none seem to work - in my option. Hopefully 3speak works soon - I'll try videos over there in like a week, see what happens - but it was not just encoding / as you said, they would not play either when posted. So I don't know.

thanks!

Remember that Hive.blog users will see only a blank post if you embed video from Odysee. BT has sought to rectify the issue, but it seems to be Hive.blog devs that have responsibility for that.
