Ok, thanks! At the moment I have in place a white list of npubs that can login. This is to prevent the posting of things like CP of adult content until I have a better way of allowing users to create block lists and content tags.
I was able to reproduce this bug using Firefox so I should be able to fix. 👍
Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I think based on your screenshot there is maybe an issue with the file format? I just got the same bug on standered Firefox so I'll look into it. Thanks!
Hmm, can you send me more details about your setup? I'll see if i there is something I can do.
The service worker needs root access to the site files that are cached on device. Some browsers like Tor block these actions so there's not much that can be done.
Its usually a privilege issue with the service worker. I had the same issue at first. But I seem to have it working reliably. It's also very important that the torrent is created by a Webtorrent WebRTC client. Regular Torrent files won't work.
Check it out for yourself at https://bitvid.network 👍
#bitvid is a #webtorrent based video client that uses #nostr to post #webRTC #torrent #magnet links. (Using all the tags lol)
Its very early days of development but I'm hoping to prove this is a viable solution for decentralized video platform. If you want to learn more about how it works, check out the "about" page.
Thanks! Still building out the app. My hope is that this app will be completely static and could run on your desktop or at any website. All uploaded content is streaming from other users and content creators computers directly rather than from centralized servers. This means that content can be sure to endure as long as a single person is seeing.
If anyone would like to be whitelisted and have access to add video content to bitvid while we are in development please send me a DM. 👍
Next on our roadmap:
1. Fix bugs related to posting and editing videos. Partially related to adjusting the private status.
2. Add "Copy Magnet" button to each video so that anyone can seed the content.
3. Use the event ID to create a unique URL so anyone can share a link directly to a particular video.
4. Add a npub profile section to see all videos posted by a particular npub.
5. Add a subscription list note type function so you can subscribe to channels and restore your subscriptions from relays.
6. Add custom relay selector.
7. Add an import/export for blacklisting npubs.
8. Add zaps for videos and channels.
9. Add comments to video modal.
10. Update video spec to include categories and tags.
11. Add Customizable Home feeds.
And much more!
There is alot to do so if your interested in helping out then check out the github repo.
