Hello guys i'm posting on behalf of Mucha:

So what happened?

As you may have notcied that many of hosts that used xvideoshare script was hacked at same time.
Playtube have been hacked too. Is my data leaked ? No, playtube was not fully hacked, only file servers was accessed by the hacker and your data is safe.

Why my files are being removed ? As i have mentoined hacker managed to access our file servers and encrypt (damage) some files. We have removed all the files and will be sending emails to you which files was broken and removed from playtube.

WIll playtube be closed or is it dying ?
No we're completly fine and not dying.

Playtube will continue and all broken files that was removed should be re-uploaded. Will be there any compensation for that ?

Yes as soon as we finish sending emails we will change our rates from per duration based to fixed ones as well we will be providing with 5% bounces for every next payout for next 3 months.
How will you prevent from situation like this in futue?
We're in the middle of coding our new platform (not based on xvs).

We have also started coding backup function for our current system that will store orginal files at our cold storage location so if situation like this happens in future we will be able to fix all the files. Orginal files will be stored in one copy and will apply to md5 of the files. Which means if file you have uploaded has exact same md5 than other file that already exist in our platform it will be keept in cold storage for backup in orginal format.

You're banned at wjunction, how we can contact you ? PlayTube will have own discord server soon and all our uploaders will be invited there. We still continue support via email. Even if M. will unban me at wjunction we will not come back to this forum. All the support will be handled via Discord,Skype,Emails.

And briefly what I think about this situation. Did mucha sometimes go too far in the shoutbox and argue with other members? Yes, but was he also one of the people who protected the webmasters when a person who is now banned has ddosed the webmaster because they were using a different player? Also yes. We were hit by DDOS attacks for the last 2 days, too, I'm sure who it was. Of course I could say the names now, but I doubt that these will be banned without proof in contrast to Mucha.

But in the end we have to accept this decision of the board.

Thank you for the detailed update on what's going on with the hosted files that were/are not playing. I'm happy you guys have been on top of this situation! I'm also happy that you guys were able to correct things and not lose your platforms. I know there's a lot of work to be done on your end because there's a lot on mine to re-upload hundreds of files. I really don't understand the point of hackers doing what they did, some people are just a waste of space and matter.
 
The new player is garbage. Doodstream uses the same player and it degrades the picture slightly from the top quality that Playtube is known for. This new chosen player is not faster, the last player that Playtube was using was. I really hopes he/they go back to the last one. I do think Playtube will keep this one because they can show their brand logo on the player in every video. What a shame, why can't we decide what player is best for our site and needs, instead of a host forced option? Just wondering and sounding off, because i'm in no way tech savvy enough to implement and use my own video player

Send email to playtube support.
 
Due to numerous complaints from people that Playtube robs them of over 80% of views,as owners of 5 movie sites, we are forced to remove all playtube links,because as one of the largest movie sites we cannot allow thief links to appear on our sites,Therefore, from today, it is absolutely forbidden to insert playtube links and until evening our bots will remove all playtube links from our sites,

Mucha done you dirty


Another "roller" like SUPERVIDEO - bases were built, people got 1 max 2 payouts (a few bucks each). and again the uploaders are .... obscene word ... :)

You guys are more than pathetic.

First of all "new users" with 5 posts talk unreal things here. Mostly multiple accounts comments negatively here from competitors that is not nice. You take adventage of that Mucha is banned and can't answer at this forums. But you guys keep posting here and trashing playtube name where all real playtube users are receiving mass emails regarding issues / changes. Why no one mentoined that here? You all just come here to trash someone thread who is not able to even answer. From things i see here all those new users who comment here mostly talk in other hosting threads then randomly started coming here to trash playtube and your first posts in playtube thread are those bad ones. We all know that Mucha is not liked by many hosting owners but there is no point to gain adventage from that as it will not bring you anything guys. PlayTube is solid hosting that existed before wjunction and will exist after wjunction like every other solid host here. We all have issues but i don't see comments like this in other threads.


Forgive me my bad english.
