In case you get a 403 Error when trying to fetch a video, please contact your instance admin and ask them to clear the cache of the apconf account like this:

or
https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/104951347877205466
Unfortunately, some unforeseen issues might have been triggered by the initial video publication.
@cj @schmittlauch I've just kicked it off, let me know!
@ashfurrow worked perfectly, thank you! @schmittlauch
@schmittlauch Can we do this? @leah & @rixx ?
@eest9 @schmittlauch @leah @rixx
Please!
There are so many awesome talks, see https://conf.tube/video-channels/apconf_channel/videos

Account.find_remote('apconf', 'conf.tube').statuses.where(visibility: :direct).each { |s| RemoveStatusService.new.call(s) }
@eest9 @schmittlauch @leah Which video is giving you problems? I just posted test comments on one of them and it worked just fine.
@rixx only 4 of them are showing up at all. e.g. https://conf.tube/videos/watch/c28fe948-1308-4669-97a7-3c0e08500116 and https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d8c8ed69-79f0-4987-bafe-84c01f38f966 are missing. @schmittlauch @leah
@rixx @eest9 @schmittlauch and I don't see how the command should fix that. What was the initial problem at all? Did someone renamed an existing account or....?
@leah The initial problem was that the videos were at first published unlisted and then put to public. The same workaround worked by several other instances as you can see by the comments in the two threads. @rixx @schmittlauch
@leah @rixx @eest9 Has this progressed and been resolved?
Example video is https://conf.tube/videos/watch/6289920f-4e35-4141-ab6f-379b357849ec
Background: When uploaded initially, the videos were posted with a DM-like visibility but without anyone on your instance being allowed to see them. For whatever reason, this Publish activity was still sent to all follower instances like chaos.social.
Mastodon now has this visible-to-noone property cached and does not support mutable updates.
@schmittlauch @rixx @eest9 may I ask why every instance admin should now update their database instead of reuploading the stuff with the right permissions on your side? Sounds like the much easier way to me.
@leah @rixx @eest9 That has been considered, but unfortunately the links had been already spread outside the Fediverse e.g. at Hacker News and stuff.
It's a complicated decision to make, the organisers (which I am not part of) decided to leave things as they are and providing an additional forum as backup.
I guess nobody expects all instance admins to jump and do that just by themselves. We can just ask our own admins for this favor, acknowledging the extra amount of work this causes and
->
@schmittlauch @rixx @eest9 I've just done that. Please note that this means that the account has now lost all 9 followers from this instance. They have to refollow the account now.
@leah Thank you! @schmittlauch @rixx
@leah @rixx @eest9 @schmittlauch
basically it is a bug in peertube, however, conf starts NOW
#apconf2020 ⬡
Following a successful inaugural conference in 2019, we have expanded APConf 2020 to a four day event that will occur entirely on line
@ashfurrow would it be possible to do this cache purge, if verified? I can't tell if I can't load the post because of Tusky or indeed this cache failure mode.
Sorry to ask.
