@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.

Does this mean that I can use my gaming machine to transcode videos from my small-factor server PC? Yo this is BIG.

Rokosun reshared this.

Also, proper support for podcast-styled RSS feeds will make following PeerTube channels even easier.

@csolisr I've been waiting for this so I can do something similar with my setup

@peter @csolisr
As it is a brand new feature, feedbacks, bugreports, and anything that can help us improve on it will be welcomed with huge gratitude.

Enjoy!

@peter Got it! I should test using it to loan some processing power to a few instances I know, whenever my computer is in downtime
in reply to Tio

Wow, this is amazing. I have some GPUs at home available but definitely can’t afford a hosted GPU solution. I may look in to this now.

@mo
Have you issues using it?

I know there are some scaling issues, i'm working on it (but not easy to investigate, as i have few feedbacks, and I can't make stress tests alone, my computer can only simulate 50 connections)

@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

@John_Livingston also, position can be worked around by opening iframe in new window, but... that requires knowledge and not oblivious

@mo

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.

@mo
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!

Is Peertube an IOS application and is it Voiceover accessible? It sounds pretty cool from what I am reading here. Is it like YouTube?
in reply to Nick's world

It is a platform that can be installed on a server. For example ours is at videos.trom.tf/
