I'm continuing to explore Nostr's capabilities to be a YouTube alternative. There are two potential clients that get the job done: "Nostube" and "Plebs". Both are desktop-only clients at the moment. They look nice enough and are easy to navigate. Needless to say that content is still missing.
I do not self-host my videos. This is mainly because we live off-grid in a tiny home with patchy internet connection. I want to change that soonest. But since this will be the default for many new people coming to Nostr, it's nice to see how this can work. My Nostr webspace is running on Primal and Nostr.Build subscription. There's lots of room to optimize this with the relay management etc. ... but I didn't have to energy to look into it further. It works for now.
I do like the uploader and navigation on "Plebs", but for some reason it gave me an error when loading my latest 16-minute video. So, I tried "Nostube" which had no problem with it. "Nostube" also shows all my uploaded videos in a nicely organized fashion. "Plebs" on the other hand is a bit selfish and only shows videos I uploaded with "Plebs". I also cannot find Nostr profiles for "Plebs" nor "Nostube". If you do, please share!
So, as usual, Nostr gives you these mild headaches when you just want to get your things done ... and you stumble upon all this little weirdness that steals your time. BUT after all, it kinda works and I was able to share on the legacy socials that my video is also available on Nostr ๐ค๐ผ
You can check out my 15-minute guided Wim Hof breathing session here on "Nostube". Yes, the link is long and ugly. There's no option to retrieve an embedding or NoteID or something like that:
