Peertube

Sorry if this is asked a lot but I'm looking for a peertube instance to mirror my youtube videos to.

I upload a mix of videos about games, dev logs, music, and occasional random stuff I made (including ytps). So a general purpose instance with longevity would be ideal. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I saw this post about peertube channels being able to be seen as communities on lemmy, but I noticed that the comments don't show on the community post.

I was wondering if anyone else was tracking anything about this already, or any other peertube to lemmy integrations, like the embedded video playback from peertube (new feature) or peertube's remote account features (comment using any fediverse account) not working with Lemmy users (at least not me right now).

Matrix chat about it

Update 01: Being tracked here on Lemmy's repo. Still interested in everyone's thoughts.

Hey guys, I want to see Peertube thrive. While I was working on installing some software, I came up with a set of ideas that may help Peertube flourish better.

• Peertube is a small garden
• Us viewers exist
• Content Creators must persist, to help tend to the garden despite viewer drought
• Browsing Peertube is like browsing a giant farmer's market
• We need to talk about Peertube outside of Peertube
• Peertube's biggest feature is the lack of anti-features
• If we treat Peertube like a dead platform, it'll become one
• Viewers must like, comment, share and subscribe to make the platform grow
• Viewers must be persistent in their search for content, despite content drought

p.s. my New Year's resolution is to quit Youtube. I'll be replacing my content diet with Peertube videos. I'll make a vlog featuring my trip to eventual insanity.

I am thinking of recording a series of episodes where I try to beat factorio with the smallest possible ore settings. It would be vanilla factorio.

In this video I show what the voice recording might sound like, but I need your feedback if this is pleasant to watch/hear etc.

This is the first time of me doing anything like this.

That's right. I almost forgot my favourite Peertube idea to date. I used to write parody lyrics to songs all the time on Mastodon. I figure, why not learn how to make full-blown parody songs?

I've made a tonne of videos showcasing myself playing Minetest and SuperTuxKart, as well as a good variety of other fully libre games.

I'll be frank, I'm getting tired and bored of playing libre games. I think it's time I switch over to playing retro games instead.

The thing is, I have no idea what I actually want to play. I'm thinking anything at least 25 years or older. I'm already making a series for Pokemon Red, so I can't entertain that idea.

PeerTube, the decentralized and open-source alternative to video broadcasting services such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitch, has launched its version 6. This comes after only two minor versions were released, with PeerTube 5.2 launched in June and PeerTube 5.1 in March.

The 5.1 version introduced an “asking for an account” feature, a “back-to-live” button, and enhanced the authentication plugin. The 5.2 version improved RSS feeds, added an option to set livestream replay privacy, enhanced mouse-free navigation, and notably, introduced a remote transcoding feature.

The latest release, PeerTube v6, provides users with the ability to password-protect videos, a new video storyboard feature (to preview videos on mouse hover), and the option to upload a new version of a video (to correct or update it, for example). It also introduces video chapters among other features.

In addition to these new features, PeerTube v6 has removed WebTorrent to focus on HLS, and features an enhanced video player. It also comes with improved SEO and accessibility, along with a host of other changes, improvements, and bug fixes. Finally, PeerTube has conducted stress tests and provided performance and configuration recommendations for its live-streaming feature.

@peertube

Hi everyone, I recently made a peertube instance and I see the potential!

But the discoverability is absolutely lackluster. It must be possible somehow to see and sort videos that are out there.

If I search for minecraft videos on my instance for example, it obviously shows only the other instances I federate with.

But to find new instances I search through joinpeertube.org‘s elasticsearch and get the most unrelated stuff.

I was recently asked to submit a pr to framasofts gitlab but the signup/signin is bugged.

This is what I mean with stuff needs to be easier. Any ideas?

I'm new at both PeerTube and at Piped/NewPipe frontends. I've always wanted to support PeerTube but every time I browse instances I see very little content and it's especially barren for the type of stuff I like. Not really a tech guy, even though I'm learning some programming my background is that of a Literature teacher that likes gaming (especially indie gaming, but some AAA RPG/JRPG/narrative/strategy gaming is cool too) and video essays about anything that have at least a bit of humanities bend.

I've started using Piped to watch YT videos (I don't use NewPipe since I rarely use my phone, more of a desktop guy). I've heard you can watch both YT and PeerTube videos on NewPipe. Can you do the same at Piped? And if so, what would be the best way to find channels with the aforementioned characteristics?

Stuff in Spanish is fine too since that's my actual language but I assume there's not much stuff in Spanish in PeerTube and therefore even less quality content and even less quality content that caters to my specific likes. So I foresee it'll mostly be in English like in YouTube.

I want to download my favorite debates and old videos from YouTube to upload to Odysee or PeerTube. Can I do that without getting in some sort of legal trouble? Thanks

Looking for a PeerTube instance for game devlogs.

I have a crafts channel on makertube.net already but would prefer to spread myself around in case one server goes down. Also tbh I'm not even sure devlogs would count as "making" anyway.

Tried the instance finder on the PT homepage but it's pretty useless so if anyone knows where is stable and welcomes this kind of content I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

Preferably based in a based jurisdiction - one that doesn't take down claims.

Thank you.

How much time did you wait?

The way I see it, the mobile app ecosystem for PeerTube has yet to take off, in spite of the fact that it has a seemingly decent API. More people appear to be using the platform than ever before, which is great, but we still seem to be lacking a general ecosystem that Mastodon or even Lemmy has.

To my knowledge, these are the only apps I've ever found that work with PeerTube:

• Thorium: Supports video playback and sign-in, doesn't support comments or replies or seemingly any social features?
• P2Play: Seems to support commenting, but abandoned 3 years ago or so.
• NewPipe: Actually pretty good as a player, but not really designed around the social API at all. Makes sense, given the app is more of a "download and play videos without an account" type of video app.
• FediLab: Supposedly supports PeerTube, actually seems like a featureful client, but I've always kind of felt iffy about whether a general multi-platform app could make for a good experience.

It just feels as though we're lacking a quality mobile client for PeerTube, and I think it's a missed opportunity. Do we currently now of any other efforts out there to build for the platform?

Hello I am recording a few episodes of Krastorio 2.

I am playing with the companion mods that are recommended by the Krastorio team. No other mods are used.

Let's see where this takes us!

Youtube, for so many years, was just too good. Yes, they changed the 5 star rating system to likes and dislikes and a few years later disabled dislikes altogether, but their algorithm mostly digs up interesting content and it just works for creators and viewers.

This might change soon. Their new strategy to disallow ad-blockers will frustrate a certain kind of viewer. Those who dislike surveillance and like open-source tech, those who use uBlock Origin and know why.

Just like a few years ago mastodon suddenly reached a certain kind of popularity, because twitter had their first big fuckup, maybe Peertube is next. It certainly is the most polished decentralized solution that doesn't use a blockchain. Creators or fans could easily host their own videos, fans can watch it, without ads.
