Need beta testers for Desktop Uploader

We have a production candidate version of the uploader ready to go. I've reached out in a few places on the site, but haven't gotten a large enough test group together yet.

I need about 30 or 40 people ideally to give us a hand.

What we REALLY need is people with super high quality videos, that are up to about 2GB in size. Once we've accomplished that test, we'll move onto higher file sizes, but we need to get it stable at 2GB right now.

So if you are interested, please request an invite to the NSTV Producers cult here - https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/cult/home/id/5234/t/NSTV+Producers/

Once you are in there, you will be able to test the app. There is a thread in the cult forums already where we can discuss feedback.

Please, only request an invite if you have videos which fit the criteria. You won't have to post them publicly on the site if you don't want to, but we need the big, high quality files.

THANKS!

If you have a ton of smaller files you want to upload then sure, but what we are really trying to do here is stress the system as much as we can to make sure it will handle the load, and the best way to do this is with a ton of large files

Also note, you don't actually have to post what you are uploading, they can just be deleted once complete and rendered.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Ooo... actually yeah that is another good way to stress the system. If you have a whole directory (or a bunch of directories) full of small-to-medium sized videos, drop 'em all in there. Try to upload as many files all at once as you possibly can.

If they all work, then fantastic.

We're basically testing two things here:

Reliability of Single file connection (one big file)
Reliability of time connected (length of time uploading... either big file or many files)

We've done extensive revisions and are almost positive that we have everything ironed out. But you can't ever know until you get waves of people all doing it at the same time.

Yeah that would be great, though I feel like it would be hard to organize. : )

Best to just have some people throw a bunch of stuff at it. Are you uploading anything yet?

Just note that anyone in the beta will experience the app breaking sometime either this weekend or early next week.

We have what we believe is the final production version, which will go live soon.

When this happens, you will have to un-install the current version you have on your machine and re-install the new one from the download page.

I'll give you a heads up when we're a go.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Ah yeah I just caught the update I think.

So for those of you who have certain older versions of the uploader, you're going to get a really weird and broken looking update message. This was unavoidable in the beta testing process.

All you need to do is uninstall the app from your local machine, and download a new copy from Newschoolers in the upload interface.

Then, all future versions will be updated automatically when they are released.

See massive photos are easy compared to videos. Videos in high quality are fucking massive.

You're in. Just go to "MyMedia" and click the "upload video" button at the top. You'll be able to grab the uploader there.
