Here&#39;s a look at what&#39;s new.<br/><br/>Discover More Content<br/><br/>We&#39;ve completely revamped content discovery with three distinct feeds:<br/><br/>• For You – prioritizes creators and content from your social graph while intelligently recommending new videos.<br/>• Explore – surfaces videos you likely haven&#39;t seen instead of simply showing the newest uploads.<br/>• Trending – highlights the most popular recent videos based on real engagement.<br/><br/>Together, these changes make it much easier to find great content beyond your subscriptions.<br/><br/>More Accurate View Counts<br/><br/>We&#39;ve overhauled how views are counted across the network.<br/><br/>View events are now deterministically deduplicated using Nostr d-tags and combined across multiple relays, resulting in more accurate and trustworthy view counts. Refreshing a page or seeing duplicate events from different relays no longer inflates statistics.<br/><br/>Popularity Analytics<br/><br/>You can now view a video&#39;s popularity over time directly from the More (...) menu. Instead of only seeing a total view count, you can watch how a video&#39;s audience has grown over time.<br/><br/>More Reliable Playback<br/><br/>Playback is now significantly more resilient.<br/><br/>@bitvid will intelligently try multiple hosted sources before falling back to WebTorrent, leading to faster startup times, fewer playback failures, and a smoother viewing experience.<br/><br/>Smarter Content Availability<br/><br/>We&#39;ve made major improvements to how videos appear throughout the network.<br/><br/>New configurable visibility policies, eager content probing, and smarter verification dramatically reduce disappearing video cards while still ensuring content is actually available. WebTorrent-only videos are now handled much more gracefully as well.<br/><br/>Improved Direct Messages<br/><br/>Messaging has received several quality-of-life improvements:<br/><br/>• Better compatibility with older Nostr clients through legacy NIP-04 support.<br/>• Automatic login prompts when attempting to send messages while signed out.<br/>• Conversations now automatically open when selecting a recipient.<br/><br/>Lightning Improvements<br/><br/>We&#39;ve fixed several issues with Lightning zaps, including creator split calculations, platform split handling, and improved error handling for LNURL and CORS-related edge cases.<br/><br/>Better Channel Syncing<br/><br/>Channel pages are now much more stable by intelligently merging newly discovered events with existing content instead of replacing them. This prevents videos from disappearing while synchronization is happening.<br/><br/>Performance Improvements<br/><br/>We&#39;ve reduced unnecessary relay subscriptions during login, improved synchronization behavior, expanded storage compatibility, fixed several UI edge cases, and eliminated a number of bugs throughout the application—including a long-standing processing spinner that could occasionally get stuck.<br/><br/>Spam &amp; Access Improvements<br/><br/>We&#39;ve also strengthened validation and access controls by improving npub verification, tightening whitelist handling, and making permission checks more reliable regardless of whether a public key is represented in hex or npub format.<br/><br/>Behind the Scenes<br/><br/>Alongside these user-facing features, we&#39;ve continued improving @bitvid&#39;s architecture with expanded testing, better storage compatibility, cleaner release workflows, and a more robust foundation for future features.<br/><br/>Thanks to everyone testing @bitvid, reporting bugs, and helping us build a truly decentralized video platform. More improvements are already on the way.<br/><br/>Interested in helping shape the future of decentralized video? @bitvid is currently in early access, and we&#39;d love to hear from creators, developers, and community members who share our vision.

Plus I really wanted bitvid to only support magnet link and webtorrent webRTC media content.<br/><br/>There are and will be tons of nostr video clients that point to a http link somewhere and nip-71 is perfect for that purpose, but I felt like webRTC required a special place due to the necessity of seeding.<br/><br/>And the same applies to the torrent nip. I can remember the number. But it had similar issues just on the bittorrent side rather than Webtorrent, which is what I am using. 2025-02-18T00:31:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr6rt9j75d6px0jmvjddrld43l8gp44z6q2u50vrhnkjk79jp43tqzyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37jvupr0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs08lhr022gar4nz4pp7yt8syfymh3xwkpv36r3fx4hlvxaj7afuxcumrmed'>nevent1q…rmed</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Im working on a decentralized, nostr based video platform. At the moment the videos must be hosted by a desktop app called &#34;WebTorrent Desktop&#34; then the magnet link can be posted to nostr along with a title, description and thumbnail image. <br/><br/>Its still in early development and missing many features. <br/><br/>But viewers and audiences can also help support the video hosting. 2025-02-17T22:23:17Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfdfv8zpecv8f7e8fjvmkgmpczf299lcvcs7h8xvj55qf864akv5szyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37kz6x2v Doing some testing with a custom build of a webtorrent CLI seed server.

I&#39;ll create a tutorial walking through the process soon.<br/><br/>I am working on a docker based alternative that can run on a Synology NAS or even a Raspberry Pi with a hard drive attached built with bitvid and nostr in mind. I dont know how long it will take to get that ready.<br/><br/>There are limitations with the number of videos that can be seeded from a single computer so I&#39;m working on different ways to scale that up for the average user. 2025-02-09T23:22:49Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvrvtkg5jzah9yuehtw0ldvyj4dqz9a6kzcrnqhfcs0z88kgy5m7szyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc3738qyac I will soon roll out the private channel subscriptions on beta.bitvid.network . <br/><br/>Now you can:<br/><br/>- View a channels profile page along with all the content they have posted. <br/>- Subscribe to a channel directly from its profile page. <br/>- Maintain a #private subscription list (kind=30002 event) that’s encrypted using NIP-04, so nobody but you knows which channels you follow. <br/>- Catch up on the latest videos from your subscribed creators in the “Subscriptions” view, pulled from all the channels you’ve added.<br/><br/>Eventually I&#39;ll add a list of the channels you are subscribed to in the sidebar for easier navigation. <br/><br/>This subscription approach keeps your follow activity off any public follow lists. Only you have the key to decrypt your subscription data, so it stays hidden from prying eyes. If you’re already logged in, check out #view=subscriptions to see which channels you’re following or to discover more content once you’ve subscribed.<br/><br/>Will roll out to the beta domain first then if all goes well I&#39;ll push to main. <br/><br/>Right now it requires a #nip-07 extention. If you have any questions about setting it up or want to suggest improvements, just let me know.<br/><br/>Seed. (Done) Zap. (Coming Soon) Subscribe.

It’s not a button you press. It’s a responsibility you live out. <br/><br/>- If you want content to last, you must seed it, either by supporting a service provider with zaps or running the torrents yourself.<br/>- If you believe in independent media, you must be part of the network that keeps it alive.<br/>- If you believe that advertising models distort incentives, and cause self censorship, then you must look for alternative models. <br/>- If you care about censorship resistance, you must take ownership of distribution instead of relying on centralized platforms.<br/><br/>The simple truth is, with bitvid, as long as someone is willing to seed, the content never dies.<br/><br/>This isn’t just file-sharing. It’s a statement of value. It makes the content you love yours in a way no centralized service ever could.<br/><br/>#bitvid is built on this principle. No gatekeepers. No servers to take down. No platform risk. Just people choosing to support what matters to them. This is the vision. <br/><br/>Help me make it a reality. <br/><br/>Seed.

You can seed, on servers or desktop computers you control, any content posted to #bitvid. Simply open a video and copy the #magnet link.

And the community that values the content can support by seeding that video content as well. This ensures that content can continue to proliferate. <br/><br/>Its a full cycle system in a single tool now.<br/><br/>More features like channel profiles, subscriptions and better nostr relay and npub/note blocklist control are on the agenda for the next few weeks.<br/><br/> 2025-01-27T16:39:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvmylj7hh6xxucx0wx72l8tkc8w59hnutwanjjln2tz5smtq6xjzszyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc3738gtx4 Added default thumbnail as fallback and forced 16:9 aspect. 2025-01-26T20:01:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqp7f8xax9cyghfp0u59ak2l7pl345h760qfucdgn3as4zmsn7rzszyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37dklhte Working on adding a fallback thumbnail image in case the link in the nostr note doesn&#39;t load in any content.

I&#39;ll see if i there is something I can do.<br/><br/>The service worker needs root access to the site files that are cached on device. Some browsers like Tor block these actions so there&#39;s not much that can be done. 2025-01-24T14:16:33Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsphprm3j2frkkzv57qhm4n4etjs7mfa27xs27qzymd62jk54gcvrgzyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37tyqtld In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0cfr0hcl3fvu4jhm58waw2dspkz4hfkfcx3zzudwf3cgu2dmhamcar63x4'>nevent1q…63x4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>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&#39;s also very important that the torrent is created by a Webtorrent WebRTC client.

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. 2025-01-23T23:40:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsysjhmssc4q5e7dqepp5werfm4cnsclyax8cc98vfqdunxd8dl8hqzyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37hq3jn5 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. 👍 2025-01-20T03:56:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspntl85c6wl38queq74p472qlvnzf0yjktrktl7fw34dfvphhagmszyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37zwrzmy Next on our roadmap:<br/><br/>1. Fix bugs related to posting and editing videos. Partially related to adjusting the private status.<br/><br/>2. Add &#34;Copy Magnet&#34; button to each video so that anyone can seed the content.<br/><br/>3. Use the event ID to create a unique URL so anyone can share a link directly to a particular video.<br/><br/>4. Add a npub profile section to see all videos posted by a particular npub.<br/><br/>5. Add a subscription list note type function so you can subscribe to channels and restore your subscriptions from relays.<br/><br/>6. Add custom relay selector. <br/><br/>7. Add an import/export for blacklisting npubs.<br/><br/>8. Add zaps for videos and channels.<br/><br/>9. Add comments to video modal.<br/><br/>10. Update video spec to include categories and tags. <br/><br/>11. Add Customizable Home feeds.<br/><br/>And much more! <br/><br/>There is alot to do so if your interested in helping out then check out the github repo.<br/><br/><a href="https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/bitvid">https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/bitvid</a><br/><br/>#bitvid #nostr #webtorrent #video<br/><br/> 2025-01-20T03:17:32Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2gsq2rgpxsl5g8hq8zd3328k4l9ug355yhrnwc70dw08s5fy0q2czyzyn5v06tfjgz22mkah29hvdtmrsvs8xu6knnrn9glthr6p9dtc37826ezs <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsgjw33lfdxfqfftwmkagka340vwpjqumn26wvwv4rawu0gy440z8cpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtc4tcrqs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>bitvid</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…crqs</span>)</a></span><br/><br/>transporting #video between #individuals with the opposite of a #database.<br/><br/>the future will be #decentralized. 2025-01-12T12:22:33Z
