Been using the new Bluesky integration with StartIntegrate - making it post images and videos to the platform, but I’ve been having some issues.
I’ve chatted with Make and StartIntegrate about the issues, but wanted to know if anyone else is having similar problems.
Basically - The upload of a video is just timing out on the Bluesky side. Basically any video larger than 1MB roughly gets timed out, and therefore not posted. Videos I’m trying to post are usually around 10MB, and are under the 1 minute threshold.
Talking with StartIntegrate (who have been quite helpful), they’ve not had an issue posting the same videos through their system, so I’m not really sure what I can do about it here.
Additionally, if it DOES post, I have another odd issue. An example is here:
If I post through this system on Make, the videos show up with black bars on the side on web, and cropped to 16:9 on mobile. Despite the video being posted being a 1:1 box. If I upload it directly via web or mobile, they’ll appear in the right size. Something somewhere is defaulting the size of this thing to 16:9 even when it’s not.
Just like to see if anyone else is using these tools and having similar issues or not.
Cheers.
