I don't know shit about any of this.
I just film on my phone and upload it without changing any of that stuff.
I have noticed quite a few videos just won't load sometimes.
I assumed it was just because I'm Australian and our government intentionally destroyed our infrastructure and bottlenecked our internet for censorship purposes
Amethyst has a really great option to not download video (and other media) when on mobile.
On centralized platforms this all happens on the server, transparent to the user. Anything you upload is compressed and converted to the correct formats. On Nostr it's not universal. That's why a lot of videos don't load for you, and possibly some other users can't view yours.
Yeah unfortunately Nostr requires a bit more knowledge and effort than centralized services. That's why there's so many videos with comments saying "I can't see it" or "I can't hear it", or your video just doesn't get much engagement and you don't even know, because half the people can't even view it properly.
Keep resolution 1080p max (4K is huge and unnecessary for phones).
Excuse me, this is nostr ser. We have to break things for freedom’s sake before we come to our senses about what’s best for the community
Yes please. Video on Nostr sucks.
Even 1080 is overkill honestly. Most users are watching on a mobile device with a screen 6" or less.
Android & Desktop are generally more compatible. iOS seems to have the most issues.
Reading this as the 'one of us, one of us' chant
Just thinking the max if you wanted to be crazy with it. But ya, I agree. 🫡
The 9 will 💯. That's how I got my 8 pro for basically free.
@Ryan bringing the heat 🔥
You run graphene?
I've got my old 6a running Graphene, and my 8 pro is stock. Let's me keep separation between normie stuff and my Bitcoin stuff.
OBS is the standard streaming software for good reason, it's easy to use and works great. There is lots of work to be done to make Nostr a destination for video stuff.

RIP mobile users 💀 This video is under 3 minutes but weighs in at 350 MB. A 4K video with PCM audio in a mov container. If vlogs are going to work on Nostr video compression really needs to be implemented on clients. The wrong encoding formats means a large chunk of users wont be able to see or hear it, and it will kill peoples mobile data plans quickly.
The most compatible seem to be h264 video with AAC audio. This will work on desktops, Android, and iOS.

I do this as well

If it's more than a minute, I'm not watching it 🤷♀️. Unless it's
@Noshole because she's hilarious and I love her. I use youtube equivalent for learning how to do knit or crochet things, I don't like watching people drone on to a selfie camera. I'd rather read what people have to say. K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid.
Yes. Be concise. Have a point. Get at it.
This goes for notes too. I don't want to read your novel people 😂
Amen brother. I ramble occasionally, but it's usually when I'm excited about a project and trying to get all the details in. Or when I'm drinking...
You’re the sweetest! But I always use a file compressor. Most of my videos start at like 100Mb and I will get it down below 10 before I post, which I feel good about because I don’t need super high quality shit to be silly 😂🫂
No you're the sweetest 😆🥰
Right, people be taking themselves way too seriously filming 4k for cell phone video viewing.
It’s literally just wasteful 😂
In more ways than one. My time is valuable. 🤷♀️
So fucking valuable. I value your time 😂
I spend it wisely watching your sillies and yarning. 🔥🤣
I noticed when I downloaded your video to add the song to it. Good job nosholé 😎👌
Tehehe I need to spend mine more wisely. I’ve just been pacing around the house looking for a vape that no longer exists for almost 2 weeks 😂
I’m an idiot and even I can do it 😂🫂
You never take it too far. Just right 👌
Oh damn, you're almost 2 weeks in! Crushing it 💪💪. Yoy need to break out the loom again when the rages die down.
💯today has been the most irritable I’ve felt so I avoided people all day and didn’t try any challenging tasks. Can’t wait to loom again, honestly
You're too kind. I much prefer chatting back and forth to a long ass note upfront. It's so much more fun.
It's going around, I've been a crankypants too. 🫂🫂
Yes. Talking with, rather than talking at, is better.
💯 More people need to realize this.
There needs to be a pop-up if you go over a certain number of characters:
"Did you want to write a long form article instead?"
Or a bot that does cliffnotes 😂😂😂
Both of these are great ideas!
We totally need a tldrbot 👀
Like just give me the takeaway 🥱😂
Devs?

TL:DR I want the meat of the story and I'll read the fluff if I'm interested.
🎯💯
I'm getting flashbacks of recipe sites. Spend 5 minute scrolling past the story to get to the instructions 😂😭
Exactly!! I don't care about your grandmother's lavender farm and fresh baked pies Susan, I want to know how to cook rice in my instant pot 🙄
i think this started with James Beard’s American Cookery. It was written like a memoir with recipes. But that unusual style turned into a formula…
It's kinda funny because I like YouTube channels that combine history and recipes. But the story has to be interesting. That's the key.
when it becomes a formula, its uninteresting
It keeps you on their page so they get ad money. I have the "Too Many Eggs" book that gives a history on all the recipe types which is fun, but it gets a bit tiresome when it's EVERY SINGLE recipe and it's the same story every time.
someone does something unique and interesting,
everyone copies it, it becomes uninteresting and tiresome
Amethyst says it's compressing media whenever I use it to upload.
Is that not enough?
I'll compress videos myself first from now on.
Amethyst has built in compression yes 👍
I think there's a better solution 😈
I wish Amethyst supported writing long form notes. It should auto switch the note type. It just renders markdown and everything by default so Vitor didn't see much reason to use a special note type, but I think it makes sense to.
That would be so good. So infuriating to the OP when it replies:
"Oops! Looks like you've written a Long Form Article in a regular note. Here's an AI Generated Summary of your article to save everyone's time."
tldr ai summarizer makes op big mad
I like the freedom rant when a rant is really needed.
I don't understand the difference between long form and regular content and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
Much angery 😡
