I'm trying to post longform video to nostr and I'm not sure what the right way is. Obviously, just posting a link to youtube is the easiest, but I also set up an IPFS node as well as a couple blossom servers.
I tried route96 as well as nostrcheck-server and while they both work for images, if I try to upload a larger mp4 file, the frontend pukes with:
The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems that have occurred after a reference to a file was acquired.
Does anyone know what this is about? I have plenty of storage and would prefer to host my own content, but I can't quite find the right way to do that.
