Support Filester.me Issues and Questions

Downloaded fine here however, I have had issues similar to what you mention with downloading very large files caused by other things, can you download large files from other hosts?
 
Yeah other hosts like pixeldrain/bunkr/gofile work perfectly fine, with filester i just try until it works and it usually takes like 30+ tries until it downloades the whole file, furthest i've got with the file i linked is 60% and then it did the usual of slowly going down to 0 b/s
 
Very odd, I was able to download it very fast no interruptions. (its cached now)

Maybe its the rebalancing we're doing across the disks which cause them to have higher-than-usual IO usage. I will check if this file is hosted on one of these drives that have high usage and confirm.

Since the file is cached now, can you test and see? it would no longer be pulled from the HDDs, instead from the NVME disks which are very relaxed atm.
 
Also to expand more on this, we'll be adding more HDDs to help with uncached files 😄
 
Have you tried using a Download Manager (Jdownloader or Internet Download Manager)? I typically use IDM when downloading from Filester. IDM has a minimal cost (with a 30 day free trial) and Jdownloader is free.

They both do a good job of preventing downloads from filing when there are hiccups.
 
I just tried with a VPN and it did work, but I don't know if it worked because of the VPN or just because I've tried a bunch of times and this was the one time it worked, regardless i'll try it in the future again on a different file with+without a vpn and if it doesn't work i'll reply here again.

Thank you for the help🙏
 
I'm having an issue with videos uploaded to Filester.me. They simply won't play and just keep loading indefinitely.

I've tried both Chrome and Firefox, disabled all extensions, and tested in incognito mode. I don't use any ad blockers, but nothing seems to help.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a solution?
 
Does anyone know why I can't view or download videos on safari, Firefox, or chrome? It's been this way for weeks. The play button with be there but I can't press it and when I press download it says server cannot be found. On mobile btw and I've tried it with and without a VPN
 
Does anyone know why the new thumbnail feature doesnt work for like 99% of files?

"Video preview grids — video pages now show a grid of frames sampled across the clip, so you can see what's in a video at a glance." - from the changelog

However this is genuinely maybe the 2nd file i've come across that actually shows a thumbnail like the changelog says...

The other 99% of videos just look like this



For example this album contains only 2 videos, one of them previews the thumbnail (the smaller file), the other one doesn't. Why does this happen and is there a fix?
 
Because newly uploaded files generate this grid, existing files do not have this grid so it just shows the thumbnail.

You can see that these two files were uploaded 2 months apart, and the latter one about 2 weeks ago (Oct 15th), and the update for this was done in October 9th.
 
I don't think this has anything to do with it though, I even tried uploading a new file myself today and it still won't display a thumbnail.

 
I'm testing out subfolder structure for photo albums. Example Here. I have mostly positive feedback but some suggestions.

1. I like that it automatically creates subfolders if you drag and drop multiple folders. I like that each subfolder has a sizable thumbnail preview.

2. It is nice that it can detect a folder has already been created and cancels it out. I do wish the system could detect if filenames with the exact name and file size were already created, or if it was an option when uploading to not allow files with same name that have already been uploaded to a folder. I don't know shit about dick, so maybe that would slow down uploads too much.

3. It is great you can select files to delete or move easily now. I think that capability should include selecting folders. It's also kind of weird only 30 files are available per page no matter if I select grid or list on file manager.

4. After you upload to a folder, it defaults back to no folder on the upload page without having refreshed. I ended up having to move 20 folders into the appropriate subfolder one at a time. It's not a big deal since I know it happens now and I just select the folder I want again.

5. Will filester previews ever be integrated into simp? It would be cool if you could link an album and it automatically gave thumbnail preview up to 10-20 photos/videos. Filester seems to be more efficient than goonbox, so I think something like that would be a better way to preview content and link it at the same time. Two birds stoned at once.
 
Not sure if it has been asked before, is there any way to track your expired files?
 
Since I use my phone to upload videos, I cannot just leave the video uploading and go to another app; I need to keep the browser open, or the upload will start from zero when I come back. Is there a way you can help me with that so I can just hit upload, close the phone, and have it keep working in the background?
 
Aloha browser is your friend for this. It gives any full screen video a full sized seek bar and tap to skip 10 seconds.

Only reason I don't use it more is that the close fullscreen button is at the top for some awful reason.
 
I can download everything on the site perfectly fine but soon as I try to download a folder it won’t even start
 
For some reason imported files show up in stats view, even when imports are private.


Uploaded files do not inherit visibility from folder. I've uploaded this file in a public folder. The result is the folder is viewable and even shows the file in the list, but the file itself is not viewable. Also there should be easier way to debug visibility settings on publicly shared entries when logged in. Currently I have to juggle different domains, that's how I spotted something is up in the first place, because if you are logged in and have access to the file, it will just show up normally as if it's public.
Also public folders show the full path to their root, even if one of the closest ones is private. It should show the path up to the nearest public parent folder instead. I think it worked this way before but something has broke.

2. It's mostly checking if the file exists in the path, shouldn't have any impact on actual uploads, but it can DDOS the servers if a particularly large input folder is involved. Can be somewhat offset by doing this check lazily before a file upload and canceling if the path already exists. Still can be ddosed by large amount of small files, but way better than doing it on all inputs at once.

3. The view type shouldn't have bearing on the amount of items in the list though. It's mostly convenience thing.
But the file manager view of folders should have the same minimal length on desktop as on mobile. Currently it's highly unusable.
First is desktop, second is mobile viewport.


Also folder names shouldn't be capitalized willy nilly.

4. Yeah it shouldn't reset on upload start.

5. Probably never. The reason it is "more efficient" most likely because it avoids embedding issues altogether, thus doesn't get bombarded non-stop by people browsing the threads.
