Rules to note before sharing

[Dave]

We want to make XLights Sequences an inclusive place for members with all abilities. Our logic is we all start somewhere, and over time we hone and improve those skills. Someone with a basic sequence today, could have a full HD sequence next year.

However, there still needs to be a few rules. These are as follows:

1. Any sequences you share must be your own work.
2. Strictly no uploading of purchased sequences, whether in their natural form or remapped.
3. You may share sequences that you have heavily edited from another sharer. If doing this, you must credit the original uploader when adding the sequence.

Short, sweet and hopefully common sense.

Are there any rules around music/lyric content.. Ie if you had an explicit one but know it would be a populer choice lol

I can't see any issues, maybe a little word of warning in the description.

Hi @ShellNZ ,
Follow the steps for listing a paid sequence in this guide - https://xlightsseq.com/threads/share-buy-sell-sequences.434/

For Song name/Artist, just put various and list in the description what it included.
Hope that helps.

It seems the 1.5GB zipped file is too large, are you able to change this at your end? I really would rather not split it.

 

[ShellNZ]

Have tried splitting in half and still too big

Hi @ShellNZ,
The maximum file size for an attachment was set to 500MB. I've now adjusted this to 2GB, so should be more then enough now. Let me know how you get on and give me a shout if there are any other issues.

 

[ShellNZ]

Thanks Dave, I have tried uploading the single zipped file (1.5GB) and also split zipped files (611MB/928MB) files, both are failing. It seems to get to 10% then crashes.

Hi @ShellNZ , Sorry for the issues here. We've not had a file of that size uploaded yet. Think the biggers was 500MB.
I've made some more changes that should hopefully resolve it now! Given it a test on a 1.5GB file and it uploaded and download fine. However you might need to leave it uploading in the background, my upload speed was horrendous when I was testing!

Great, done Not sure why some have come up with the video to play and most have only just got the link?

Noticed the maximum amount of videos were limited per post. I've increased this now and all the videos show

Thanks for your help Dave

Your server will soon become full at that rate Dave. I think I'd perhaps leave the hosting to Google Drive or wherever and create links to the files there for purchasers?

Once it's uploaded to your server its there forever,.
Xenforo is a nice forum platform, I have a site that uses phpBB and it isn't as slick.

That's alright, plenty of space on the server going forward!
I haven't used phpBB since about 2005 - Might have to go and see how it's evolved over the years!

 

[nantwichvanny]

I use phpBB because there is a bridge available to link with Joomla and consequently all of the features that package can offer. www.gdpuk.com
Rather a niche site but very well known within that world

 

[Dave]

Just to highlight rules number 1 and 2 again following a member that decided to share a vendors paid seqeunce.

1. Any sequences you share must be your own work.
2. Strictly no uploading of purchased sequences, whether in their natural form or remapped.

Do you have your own server of a website? If you do you can put them on in any size you want. That is how I send large files to people I just put them on my server and send them a link to download the file.
