i guess why is this a separate service is my question. why not work with the clients to integrate video uploads
Discussion
We do integrate video uploads with the clients, same as images. It’s just limited to 7MB without an account.. If you have an account the limit is removed, all integrated using nip96.
You do have to purchase/renew an account separately, that’s not integrated into any of the apps yet..
what’s the blocker with integrating the renewal or signup flow directly? clients not willing yet or?
My dev lite understanding which could be wrong. Nostr.build needs an api which the clients will use for subscription. Im pretty sure Amethyst has it for the noste.wine relay
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/96.md
nostr.build does not implement it, nor does anyone i know of
i'd be glad to be contradicted but i have a nostr.build subscription and the only way i put data on it that gets attributed to me is through their webapp, not had a single image upload via clients go to them even though all clients use nostr.build, practically, and my client is signing events of course
so, maybe i'm misunderstanding this shit but it seems to me like either the clients are incompetent and/or nostr.build doesn't implement nip96 properly
If you are using Damus, Amethyst, Snort, Iris, Coracle or NoStrudel, and have nostr.build selected as your media host, all uploads to that client should synch to your nb account. It is actually a very cool feature! You should have to manually upload stuff to the web client.
orly
i've got very cynical about it and i don't trust the clients or your servers to actually do this properly after dozens of attempts
fix it
This?
um, no, this is grumpy engineer face, not stupid meme face
that actually worked
but the client isn't showing the image
see
broken link bullshit
I see it
nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr , a couple other questions
- I can't find where to change your media host, is everything nostr.build?
- It won't let me upload videos when I select the image, they are greyed out.
Media uploads has always been an after thought in noStrudel unfortunately. I hacked it in quickly shortly before nostrica and haven't given it much love since.
It only supports images right now because those upload quickly. I disabled video uploads because there isn't a good "upload" UI to let the user know their video is uploading, and most users refresh the page because it looks frozen.
The current nostrudel.ninja version only supports nostr.build, but the next.nostrudel.ninja version has the option to upload to blossom servers.
But the UI still needs work 😞
fishcake is not exactly the most assertive OG nostr user i can point a stick at, he literally has muted me because i grill him when he gives me equivocal answers
probably it would me more useful to consider the idea that maybe you can do better and build a properly integrated protocol... or maybe you can find someone who can do it
it's really not that hard, and supposedly most clients have had nip-96 working for ages, but nip-42 is the real showstopper, and here is another example of how it stops the show
i've been banging on about this for about 5 months now, i'll be very happy when someone finally fucking gets it
Yes, we just haven’t gotten that far with clients.. We are in talks with Damus, but nothing planned yet..
