I've noticed this with Lemmy too. Is the compatibility not there yet? I don't see why it wouldn't be since the same protocol is being used. I know everything is in its infancy but still.

Is there a way to enable chat that is usually for live to be active all the time?

You can set it up so that you can log in, for example, from mastodon, but by default it doesn't create a channel or the ability to add videos is blocked, only commenting on live chat.

Or is it possible to make it so that you can only log in to live chat, for example, using mastodon or another peertube instance?

Generally, I'm looking for a separate platform, probably from fediverse, i.e. activepub for chat that is visible to everyone on the network, like e.g. with live stream, and not like matrix that is only visible through the application and you can log in through mastodon or peertube. But I don't think anyone has written one yet.

On patronite it seems that if you support the creator financially, they get access to various types of materials on the platform.

I think it works similarly https://www.floatplane.com/channel/linustechtips/home where you get access to movies for a fee.

Can you do something like that with peertube?

Supposedly, each instance can govern itself by its own rules.

But do peertube have such pechanisms that provide, I don't know, a connection with stripe or liberapay?

Have a hard time finding good ones. Thank you in advance. Salute!

We have a YouTube and Vimeo channel with about 5tb of video content. We would like to have "total" control of our content so have started looking into Peertube as an option.

We run several onsite servers for blogs, Nextcloud, etc but we don't want to serve videos from our location.

Is there somewhere/somehow we can host Peertube at a reasonable cost for this much content?

Secondly, all of our ad free videos are currently hosted on Vimeo with a password for our subscribers. Is there a way to have a single password to be able to access all the Peertube videos?

I'm hosting a Peertube instance on Elestio. I recently upgraded to 6.3, which gives the impression it's compatible with youtube-dl, but I'm not exactly sure how it's supposed to be setup and the standard form of importing Youtube videos still gives the same error it did months ago:

Cannot fetch information from import for URL

Is there any way to make this work to make importing Youtube videos easier?

PeerTube looks really promising!

After looking into it a bit more, I have a few questions (some might be due to translation issues):

• On the instance page (https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker&nsfw=blur&quota=5000000000&isStreamer=no), there’s a field for "video space." Is this space for all the videos a channel can hold? If Full HD viewing uses 1.2 to 2.7GB per hour, even larger PeerTube instances would limit uploads to around 50 hours, which might not be ideal for big projects (e.g., something like Critical Role).
• For video uploaders: how do you manage with that storage limit?
• For those monetizing their videos on PeerTube: Have you used YouTube before? How does your revenue compare between the two platforms?
• Are there any specific tools or features you miss from YouTube after switching to PeerTube?
• How's the community and viewer engagement on PeerTube compared to YouTube? What I saw on many PeerTube sites - even those with a "large" user base of 30k (https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalUsers) - that views and subscriber numbers are incredibly low which gives me the feeling like those platforms are not really relevant which is a shame, because FOSS is the way. This feeling intensifies when looking at the statistics: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances/stats (~1 user out of 20 is considered active, only 1 comment per 4 registered users or per 15 videos)

Also, is there a TTRPG focused PeerTube instance out there?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

So about a month ago I found both my instances are no longer able to grab YouTube videos. Anyone else have this issue?

Hello, I hope someone here can help me.

I wanted to end a video earlier via the Peertube Studio. Unfortunately, the video has been stuck in “Editing Mode” since then and since yesterday it only says “The video is currently being edited, it may not work properly.” Unfortunately, I can no longer access the studio because the button for the video has disappeared. Even the administrators can only see that the video is being edited, but can't do anything about it.

Can anyone help me?

The problem is that I have already sent the link to the video and therefore cannot delete and re-upload the video.

Thank you in Advanced

I'd like to add videos from other platforms, from other channels (not mine), to my feed and playlists.

I presume this feature does not exist right know, as I could not find such a thing.

Ideally, under Publish where we now see only a File Picker, there would also be a tab or field to enter a URL from Youtube, Rumble or Odysee...

PeerTube would only save text and thumbnails, not the video. Video "playback" could be as simple as a redirect to the othe platform. However, an iframe or embed, with PeerTube comments etc. is much preferred.

What would be the best approach to get this feature implemented?

• Would the community and the devs be interested to implement this?
• Could I write a plugin?
• Is there a plugin system?

What are your thoughts on this idea? Cheers

I want to follow some good peertube instances, like tech related. I already followed flipboard.video tilvids.com framatube.org

I don't want to arbitrarily follow instances as there ARE lots of seriously problematic Peertube instances just google search took me here https://www.wappalyzer.com/technologies/message-boards/peertube/

i tried importing youtube videos in a channel to peertube self hosted server.

is it also possible to import any live streams in you tube channel can be sync to peetube too ?

Been searching for a iOS app but I can't find one. I just want to watch and upload video.

Is it any?

I can't seem to find a lot of documentation (or examples of) using remote runners, but is there any reason why .cache (or at least .cache/peertube-runner-nodejs/default/transcoding) shouldn't be a tmpfs?

The cache folder doesn't seem to consume much resources (72MB in my single 1080>1080,720,480 livestream test), and the reduction in disk wear seems pretty beneficial. Is there any guidance on how much storage .cache might consume? Any instance where a budget of maybe ~100MB might be insufficient per concurrent transcode?

I just threw this into my remote runner lxc's fstab and am enjoying an almost entirely disk independant setup, but I wonder if I'm setting myself up for failure.

tmpfs /srv/prunner/.cache/peertube-runner-nodejs/default/transcoding tmpfs nodev,size=512M,uid=1000,gid=1000,mode=0755 0 0

I have a problem with my instance. I have moved it from one server to another. All dependencies installed. Everything works so far, but it is not possible to play videos.

Only a circling arrow appears and the video length is always 00:00.

I have installed version 6.2.0

Here is an example Video.

Hello,

Can someone help me with setting an instance? I was trying to set peertube on a local machine. Is it possible to run an instance without an SSL certificate, and if yes, how can I achieve it? The best I did was follow the official guide up to setting postgres and then I started having problems with nginx. Here, on reddit, I read that some lines in the nginx config can be commented, thereby running instance locally. If someone has done this before, can he share his config file? Any way, I will greatly appreciate any help.

Could I have the peertube channel and integrate them into two different Peertube servers?

Hello,

I am new to Peertube and I am researching about a security vulnerability.

Is the url - curl https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/oauth-clients/local

needs to be protected where without any authentication it gives out Client Id and Client secret?

I couldn't find any info about it in the official documentation

Hey everyone,

I'm running a server that I mainly use for FileBrowser and handle the domains and SSL certificates through NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager (https://nginxproxymanager.com/) which all works like a charm through Docker. I wish to install Peertube, but for the life of me can't get it to work. When I install it "out of the box", so to speak, it installs fine and I can use it, but I cannot seem to figure out how to configure it in my setup with the NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager.

Is there some ELI5 or complete fool's guide available on how to set this up along with NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager? I am mostly comfortable with using all this stuff, but am in no way, shape or form an expert on this. I hope someone can help me, as I've been trying to set this up for a week now and information resources seem very limited.

I found a PeerTube instance (or what looks like one) called BeeToons. I could access both the node info and the list of videos and didn't find anything wrong with the latter (compared to an example). However, I tried to get to it in two apps, and both acted as if it was invalid. UPD: I've now tried a third, not specifically PT, one, and could find it there, but it seems like a different instance (I could find Jacknjellify and Shawy Animations in browser and Saber in app, but not vice versa). What could be the cause?

Maybe someone can help me with this. I notice when I add a new channel to my peertube account, that new channel is now the default for all uploads and I have to manually select a different channel. Is there a way to set a default channel or change the channel order?
