Dès les premières minutes de test je remarque que le visionnage de vidéos n'empêche pas mon téléphone de se mettre en veille, j'ai même l'impression que ça survient plus rapidement avec Peertube qu'avec d'autres applications.

Sera-t-il possible de s'abonner localement à des chaînes sans être enregistré (de la même manière que @FreeTube) ?

Thanks for that ! That was really missing and can really help students (and people) accessing free contents ! 👍

However, I can't find this instance:
tube-sciences-technologies.app…

Actually, I don't even know if I'm looking for it in the right place in the app...

Moreover, I try to manage my profile. I didn't find the place to put my name, instance, password etc.

Thanks again for that great work. 😉

I don't understand the "progressively add other instances" part. If there's just a dialog box to have the user set the instance, how would this be something Google or Apple would scrutinize? I can totally see them scrutinizing instances that are added in to the app itself, but allowing all instances via dialog, I don't see how that would be scrutinized since it's no different than a browser's address bar or any other fediverse software that does nothing until you punch in an instance for it to connect to.

I'm sorry but this is horrible. It's obvious that the user experience isn't the priority because if it was then connecting to ones own instance would have been the first thing you added.

This is nothing more then a glorified search tool that doesn't even work that well. I couldn't find a single video from my own collection.

I can't believe that THIS is the direction that you're headed in. Especially after having a year to work on it.

I really hope this isn't all there is to it.

in reply to PeerTube

very frustrating that the first priority here wasn’t making it possible to log into an instance, or at least manually add your favorites. Trying to be optimistic here but this preview is unusable for me (literally none of the instances I watch videos from are here), and seems like it’s taking a very “walled garden” approach that feels antithetical to the whole point of the federated net

No, apple devices are required to use the managed app store, however an iOS app was promised last year (joinpeertube.org/news/peertube…)

I know several people who *want* to use peertube regularly, but the lack of a mobile app is a barrier to entry. Currently there *no* iOS peertube client but several Android ones (Thorium, P2Play, etc), it is a serious problem for adoption that half the mobile market has no native app

in reply to PeerTube

@PeerTube @alton that makes sense, thanks for the details. I think most users that are interested in the full unlocked version likely use #fdroid

Is there perhaps a sneaky way you could tell users within the app downloaded from the play store that the"awesome" version is available on fdroid? ;)

Thanks!

Indeed log in & selecting instances are a must, and are planned.

Log in is WIP.

On instances : unfortunately, Google's and Apple's selection methods are very strict, random, and other fediverse apps have suffered from it.

We have had to start the beta publishing with a very limited selection of instances, as we are a new developer in their eyes.

We plan to add those freedoms after being cleared, through updates (and, obviously, with the future F-droid repo)

in reply to Now @mrfunkedude@beige.party

@Mrfunkedude @pp44

No, these are two separate topics.

The limited number of instances is because Google and Apple's store are very touchy about the content of new apps from new devs, and we want to get though the first publication process.

The log in is not in the beta test release because we are working on it and plan to add it in the -near- future.

LPS reshared this.

@Hex I agree 100%. As it stands the mobile browser experience is better then what they are showing us today. Which seems to be nothing more then a search engine that only searches select instances. I couldn't find my instance or any of the 267 videos I have on it.

Very disappointed.

Is anyone familiar with how #Owncast allowed users to verify themselves for chat via another #fediverse accounts?

I have a distinct feeling that most users will have no interest in actually joining a peertube instance if they only want to comment on videos, create playlists. They could simply subscribe from Mastodon and this would remove the "what is an instance? This is too complicated " that we heard adnausem about Mastodon.

@dansup please help, you make amazing apps.
