I have tried high and low to properly set up block storage with me Peertube instance with Backblaze. It is almost working but getting CORS errors during playback. So, it's failing in the last step.

Information on official docs are very confusing: Remote storage (S3) | PeerTube documentation

It gives sample nginx config and mentions something about base_url but no actual example, it is hard to navigate what exactly I need to do. Do I need to set up another reverse proxy in my nginx as cdn.fusstube.com with that config or I need to edit my current peertube config with that?

Can somebody point me to a right direction?

How do I set up so that content is delivered from cdn.fusstube.com from block storage?

I am here to host another Peertube instance for free. Maybe someone can point out how I can solve this last step...

Everything I tried: Cloudflare R2 is not working with Peertube. How to fix? : r/PeerTube

I also opened an issue on Github: Cloudflare R2 is not working with Peertube. · Issue #6749 · Chocobozzz/PeerTube

Has anyone tried using Cloudflare R2 as block storage? As I understand, it is not recommended to use block storage for direct serving of video instead there should be CDN cache which is the next thing I have to figure out.

But for now I cant even get R2 to work propely with my instance fusstube.com .

Details are in Github issue.

EDIT: just changed to Blackblaze, and same issue after setting to allow CORS from https://fusstube.com!

Console reports this error:

"Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://fusstube.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com/streaming-playlists:hls/6a622c8c-4c9b-4cf0-a46c-6f172c1389e4/3ad3f870-e141-4df4-9758-87c0890ac880-master.m3u8' from origin 'https://fusstube.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource."

Is my setup correct?

EDIT: in Backblaze, if I set bucket to public, it works. But I should not set the bucket to public, right? Peertube should be managing access to bucket internally I believe

EDIT: I tried everything and can't get the CROS violation to go away. I feel dumb

I have a basic PeerTube setup under YunoHost. It's fine, and I originally went that way after failing to self-install a half dozen times. For what it's worth, I have no beef with Yunohost; PeerTube just works out of the box. It was a great way to get started.

But now I'm moving everything into their own Docker containers, and I want to get my PeerTube installation out of Yunohost and into its standalone Docker container (which ALSO works great with Caddy; totally hassle free).

The server migration instructions for PeerTube are fairly straightforward. The problem is, I can't do a ps dump because my root password, my admin password, my daily user password, and my peertube user password won't get me into Postgresql. This tells me that Yunohost does a lot of customization and has locked things down considerably. And that's understandable, given what they do. But it makes exporting data exceptionally difficult, if not impossible.

So I have two questions:

Has anyone successfully moved their Peertube installation out of Yunohost and into the official Peertube Docker container?

... and ...

If I simply do a fresh install and re-upload my videos, will copying the Peertube "secret key" let me keep the instances who are following me? Obviously the new Peertube installation will ultimately go on the same URL.

A month ago I did some tests with the transcoding-profile-debug plugin and the transcoding-custom-quality plugin. One of the transcoding profiles I remember creating used the VP9 codec, but since then I've deleted it and created/deleted several more transcoding profiles. Now I'm looking back at one of the videos in storage/streaming-playlists/hls/, and the 1080p version of the video is transcoded in VP9, but the 720P version of the same video is transcoded in H264! Both videos have modification timestamps of only one minute apart. I can't figure out how I did this, but I would love to replicate it so I could benefit from more efficient codecs for higher resolutions but still have wide device reach with lower resolutions. Thank you very much in advance!!

Edit: I should clarify that all the other videos I've uploaded have had the same codec for 720P and 1080p, regardless whether the codec is H264, VP9, or AV1.

Edit 2: Here is the video that uses multiple codecs https://video.dosowehdigital.com/w/cTG7aq1vbheTWw2ZpaoJmx

As the title says. I tried Thorium, but it seems to have just gotten stuck in a message loop about being unable to fetch a token, and tried NewPipe, but can't find a way to sign into an instance. A

Any suggestions?

Anyone having an experience with a plugin that makes Peertube to stream the videos while using only magnet peers as source and not saving the videos on the hosting server?

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.
