We are excited to share this intro video with you. Bringing video archives to NOSTR. There are still a lot of rough edges but we are looking forward to your feedback.

this looks cool

I don’t fully understand but if it means less YouTube I love it!

Wake me up when a BitTorrent client is integrated

I can’t imagine it’s that hard?

It's easier than what's been done so far here, but I won't hold my breath - probably a deep state project that would never want to push BitTorrent or real decentralization in general

> video is local

sounds good, a definite evolution to odysee/lbry but without crypto and without p2p!

so much better, can't wait to watch free movies and series

Sweet. I've commented in the past about the lack of ability to self-host video via nostr... x is superior in this regard. Looking forward to trying this out. TY!

Any insights into how this would impact the local pipe. IOW, let's say a video goes viral. How would that play out with novia? Does the local host get crippled or does it redirect to the archived source?

Local host is only for long term archive storage, i.e. you download the video you want to keep to your local hard drive.

Hosting is done on blossom servers, i.e. it the same technology that host normal media content on NOSTR. Your local host uploads the content on request.

Currently it works because traffic on NOSTR is low. In the medium term we need micro payments for storage and maybe even for watching.

You bet 🀣

Finding it difficult to use yt-dlp (for downloading the YouTube videos) without being logged into YouTube due to bot checks

Nice idea

Godspeed

Wow ...🀯 ... 😎

What about audio content ?

Someone else has to build that. Are there good download tools for Spotify and the like?

I already have 23 gigs of bollywood albums on my (old) desktop :-) Remember we used to download mp3s before itunes was a thing ! ripping CDs was hot AF :-)

has someone done this with code?

Could you tap into the IPFS network for distributed cloud storage?

We rather use the NOSTR native technology: Blossom

Soon payment for storage will be supported and then we have better incentives than IPFS.

Looking forward to seeing how this works.
