We’re not touching the video as far as I know, but something else might be going on since I’ve seen a lot of this on all media hosting services including Primal..

nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w , thoughts on what might be happening? Even after I download the video and try it on different browsers, same..

ive been seeing this on most videos viewed in primal lately, as another data point

all videos are screwed because of conflicting standards and licensing of h264. the google and the apple, made sure that you can't just encode to a single format to be playable by all.

not sure the solution, other than, encoding for each and autodetecting / playing the one depending on the player like all youtub and media hosts do..

h264 is fine, h265 has licensing issues but for H/W, AV1 is fine too. I think it’s likely a bad H/W encoded video that can easily get corrupted (look bad due to missing key frames or some other crap)

it plays fine in amethyst (this vid)

i just dont know what to pick if i can only pick one format..

Format, go with MP4 (container); codec, go with h264 (wide compatibility) and sound AAC

i was under the impression for a long time that VP8 was the best format for wide playability?

Nope, we definitely not doing anything with videos. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s what format have you uploaded in?

Did you download the video from YT? I wonder if they started doing some sort of “optimizations” to discourage downloads

Downloaded from X

I’ll try to reproduce

Testing change from “most compatible “ to untouched

The weird thing is the video looks fine in the preview ??

I’m going to look a the video locally and see whats up and if theres any difference in the uploaded one

In preview is it playing locally?

Yeah without the jitter. And in my phone photo gallery its fine too. It seems to only happen after i get the link back from nostr build. I dont think we are using that for the preview nostr:npub1hzx87qrmhuau9l9wl709z0ccdw4nx7pvpw4x5mxp9twh3wg3pw3svjjhe7

Can you send me the good video in Telegram and I’ll try uploading it?

Can you try uploading to other hosts lime Primal?

Here is an example of the same issue but on Primal.. Weird..

Audio is fine. Message is pristine. But the video is as jittery as hell.

Ok, WTF? I went on x.com (not xxx.com) searched for videos, and it’s full of porn. WTF? It’s not the Twitter I remember 🤣😭
