Everything at #QOTO is now fixed and the all queues are response again. Sorry for todays slowness, but we found the last of the problems from the migration and now fixed that as well.
EVERYTHING WORDS AGAIN!

@trinsec Baby steps!
@freemo I found the next issues:
Compiling a backup archive hangs indefinitely.
Transferring your subscribers to other fedi instances results in an error.
@freemo 3. Adding an account alias results in an error as well.
@nm0i is this an erroe you get transfering into or out of qoto?
@freemo Out of qoto. I tried several other v4 instances and get "
Mastodon
We're sorry, but something went wrong on our end.
" page with "This page is not correct" title.
@nm0i is it possible the server has us silenced or blocked? That would prevent you migrating out
@nm0i by the way you know we are not a v3 instance? Our version has no relationship to mastodons at this point. We are our own instance.
@nm0i we also have quite a few upgrades we still have planned this week
@freemo You were right, apparently qoto.org is in quite a few blocklists, but I found an instance to migrate data to, thanks.
Still audio upload issues, if you don't mind have a look
@freemo Still audio upload issues with #QOTO, if you don't mind have a look (was posted at https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111982794674695067)
Basically really short audio upload works e.g. 30secs - but not much more, like 10mins audio fails
Same as above but bit more detailed as tests below:
โ30secs audio OK, uploads and shows thumbnail (it's own embedded or without)
โ10mins audio NOT OK, doesn't upload
(goes to full upload) but at end gives 422 error about building thumbnail (I tested with media that does or doesn't have it's own thumbnail and both fail / give 422 but seems it's more a file size thing)
Still audio upload issues, if you don't mind have a look
Sounds like it is just the file size limit. This didnt work before either right? So far we only migrated we didnt start the updates yet, thoughw e are about to.
@freemo Before I could upload ๐
Can see #FreeSchool hashtag for example for many longer audio and I think you gave me permissions upto 100mb (might have changed though but I'd like again)...
I've got some more juicy audio podcasts done and would love to upload them...
@freeschool I dont think any of our settings changed in terms of file size. But i can look into it for you and see what happened.
@freemo I'd like to upload say 50/100mb but would still operate my usual minimalism and care with each release.
@freeschool I dont think there was ever a length of time restriction, but there is certainly a audio size limit. I cant imagine we ever allowed 1/10th of a gig media on this server. All media is retained so across tens of thousands of users that would be an insane amount.
For large-format stuff we have other services better suited for that.
However if you find there is a change in maximum file size from the old server I can look but all the configs were ported over so I doubt that changed in any way. My guess is you are just trying to upkload higher quality and thus bigger size.
I can create a federated pod cast instance though.
@freemo
I did audio's before I can't do now 20/30mins on #FreeSchool hashtag...
I literally can't do that now. It's literally around 1mb now...
(so not even close to 100mb) 
@freeschool Ok then that sounds like it may be a legit issue. What exactly is the error you get?
IT may be that our streaming service has a bug or something.
@freemo That that was my original post I originally pointed to :)
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111982794674695067
@freemo
Nope. Again in other words:
<1mb audio upload works
>2mb audio upload fails:
It goes to full upload but at end gives 422 error about building thumbnail (never seen this before - if it was upload limit like before it would probably say like it did before)
I also tested with media that does or doesn't have it's own thumbnail and both fail / give 422 anyway and various sizes - only tiny sizes work and even show thumbnail
@freeschool before the migration what was the largest audio file you recall successfully uploading?
I suspect the mastodon settings may have not changed at all but it might be some other system setting that is limiting it somehow.
@freemo Ok easy to work out by starting to download
25mins / 31.5mb -
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108821020090740650
( the rest you can ignore below as above is longest / biggest on quick look at 31.5mb which is plenty good )
18mins - https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111908908163118911
@freeschool ok let me search our media bucket and see what the largest file in ther eis....
@freeschool So seems we are already set at 40 mb, so nothing changed there.... still looking. Would help if i had the actual file.
@freeschool Thsi is a legitimate problem. I will keep digging on it.
@freemo Thanks- I'm all for getting it going..
@freemo Hi. Any change on the audio issue?
@freeschool Yea. I have an idea as to whats going on, but i cant test it until we get a staging environment. which is what we are working on now. Our system admin is trying to set that up, once its up we can bug fix in that.
I need a bit of patience as we now have funding and will be moving forward quickly again, but there is a LOT to do to bring this to the level we want on the new infrastructure. Probably a bout a week stagging will be smooth and then within 2 weeks the updates and fixes start flowing.
@freemo Okidokes,
Thinking of another way... Maybe a privacy respecting paste bin to link to might work... if it's super simple and works with MyPal browser.
Do you have one already I can use and upload to (a simple interface not needing modern browser)?
Just as a temporary fix (as you definitely need more time)
Often other paste bins are temporary and horrible privacy everywhere (business) but if easy to spin up your side and works on my old browser then I'd try it
(I actually don't want to push more stuff for you to do - but just to get me rolling basically if really it's easy and ticks me 'simple' boxes!)
Or simple like SFTP/SSH style thing again without external interface just login with client and drag and drop. No-faff interface so I could upload there and link to it...
I know you had the idea of podcast platform but is basically above paragraph but with more faff. Simple upload is the way :)
See what you think... 2+ weeks (maybe delays) will KILL ME :) lol
@freemo@qoto.org Grats! Can everything sentence now as well? Maybe next up, paragraphs? ๐
