@PeerTube has added remote transcoding! These people are amazing! joinpeertube.org/news#release-…

Basically now you can use other servers to do the transcoding, even your own local machine. This is insane! So amazing! I will have a deeper look into it.

Towards the end of this year, the version 6 will bring password protect option for videos, the ability to see thumbnails when hovering the playback bar, chapters, or the ability to replace a video with a new version!

This is how a video platform should be run. Kudos to this motherfuckers! They are the heroes of our society, together with the ones who volunteer themselves to make this world (offline or online) a bit better! We should force this society to provide humans with at least their basic needs as trade-free so that we can grow more of these projects. You need a fertile soil in order to grow stuff from it.

@John_Livingston first of all, position of life chat
Average 16:9 video on average 16:9 screen just doesn't leave enough place for comfort chatting

Second issue I remember: on unstable connection chat frequently resets itself and loads again from scratch, it's just takes too long (little faster if you're logged in, but that's not always possible)

I recommended you to look on @owncast implementation, their chat is really good

I agree.

I had some technical difficulties to improve this. For now, the chat is in an iframe (I don't know your background, sorry if it is too technical).
This implies that I have little control on this.

I tried to get rid of the iframe several months ago. But I had issues with the AngularJS framework used by Peertube. It has some annoying side effects.

So i postponed this dev. But I need to do it for some upcoming tasks. And once it is done, it will be simpler to position the chat (and even add an option for a floating chat window).

Sorry for the inconvenience. Not easy to work alone on such a project, when we must spend the majority of his time to search for funding. But good, news (and spoiler alert), i found someone to help me on the project!
