Update: Rebuilding the Video Archive (Patreon)
Content
We've spent the last week trying to recover from the shutdown of our channels. We've manage to re-link most of the videos put up this year (2019) because the files were immediately available. We did run into one significant problem, however.
We discovered we had a bad backup drive which contained all of the videos uploaded from October 2017 through December 2018. This causes a big gap in our current posts and it cannot be resolve as quickly as we would like because the videos must be converted and processed again. We debated just deleting the older posts and starting over, but for now, we want to continue to convert those videos over time and re-link them to the original posts because we don't want to lose the many comments and conversations on those posts.
This is not a major problem moving forward, but it can be annoying for patrons to keep running into broken links. For this reason, we've decided to resume uploading videos to new posts while we continue to re-build the links to the older posts. We still have many of the files from the videos deleted from YouTube and they can be uploaded much quicker than the ones to be re-converted.
We've already uploaded over 60 videos (and have more processing as I write this), most of them are Bobby Hemmitt and Bro. C. Freeman-El videos because they have been our focus for the last few months. We've also uploaded some of the Dr. Delbert Blair videos we had in our posts. Many others, however, are still missing and we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause some of our patrons.
Additionally, we've had some issues with our web site. We discovered that our site had been hacked by some entity and it was sending spam emails from our account server. We had to turn off the email function to resolve the issue. We were/are developing a new upgraded web site, but that project has taken a back seat for the moment because of the urgency of getting as many of the videos back up and available for viewing as quickly as possible. You can still place orders on the web site, however. The payments go through PayPal so its still secure.
Please continue to bear with us. We are working hard to get a variety of videos up as quick as possible to widen the content options for patrons. If you have any issues with our web site or this Patreon page, message us or email us at siriustimesmedia@gmail.com.
