Starting February 5, 2023, u/redditspeedbot was unable to process videos due to a mistaken issue with its cloud providers. The issue was resolved as soon as possible but the queue for pending tasks had piled up leading to subsequent timeouts, capacity limits, and other performance-related issues. The bot tried to restore some of its services but it could not keep up with the load and duress and got stuck in an error-prone loop.
Rest assured, the bot has been restored to its original state to address new requests normally.
The initial issue, unfortunately, put the bot under a lot of pressure which it wasn't designed to handle. I have already addressed multiple issues so that such problems w
I never thought that a bot which I made for myself would become helpful to so many of you. I want to thank everyone who has helped the bot grow with feature suggestions and bug reports. Because of you guys, the bot continues to remain feature-full and responsive. On this occasion, I would also like to share some stats with you:
Redditspeedbot has responded to more than 15K user requests on various subreddits.
As of now, Redditspeedbot stands on 38th position on the list of good bots maintained by u/B0tRank
If you ever feel like contributing to Redditspeedbot, you can find my pitch here.
As we all know some subreddits are very stringent with bot freedom and more often than not they end up banning them. But the fun shouldn't stop.
So, to overcome this, Redditspeedbot will now directly send the response to your inbox if it is called in a banned subreddit. You could then use the URL to share it however you want (maybe even comment in the subreddit yourself)
If you have ever stumbled upon a video that was too fast or too slow then this bot is for you. RedditSpeedBot will help you control the playback speed of any video or GIF.
To use RedditSpeedBot, just comment /u/redditspeedbot <speed> on a post that has a video or GIF.
For example, /u/redditspeedbot 0.5x will reduce the video speed to half its original.
What can it do?
RedditSpeedBot currently supports links from Gfycat, Imgur, Streamable and Reddit.
You can comment on any level and it will try to get a link from its parent comment. If it doesn't find a suitable link, it will get the link from the post itself. (Supported links in parent comments are *Gfycat
I have finally gotten the time to do something about the 1 minute time limits of Gfycat. So, here it is! Introducing Catbox to store all files that exceed 59 seconds. Have fun everyone and Happy Holidays :)
Within 3 months, RedditSpeedBot converted more than 600 videos/gifs, and that is phenomenal. But, I feel, the fastest way forward, is to mould this bot to fit our needs as they come. So I request all of you to submit your feedback for RedditSpeedBot in the comments or feel free to DM me directly here.
Hi everyone, RedditSpeedBot now has an upper limit of 25x instead 10x which seems would be enough for most slow-mo videos. Try it out: u/redditspeedbot 25x
