I originally was going to try on the official PeerTube forums, but it's largely in French, and I'm hoping my question is a simple one.

I recently discovered that PeerTube now has a mobile app, grabbed it to try it out.
it creates a "local account" which is all fine and good, but it mentions being able to link platform account, yet I can't figure out how.

I have an account on TILvids. I can find that platform in the list, and browse videos etc. but how would I go about linking my account on that site, with the mobile app so that I can see my favorites and such?

Hello,

I was wondering if the newly published mobile apps support P2P?

If not, is it planned? If not, can mobile app clients be blocked from PeerTube instances as they’re going to be bandwidth guzzling monsters?

Thanks!

I don't know about nvidia, but amd in the latest series of GPUs and CPUs with built-in GPU have encoders and an AV1 decoder.

It would be a great feature if users could ignore/hide videos they don't want to see or if they block a video so it doesn't show up for them. You can do it with a whole account but not with individual videos which is weird from a user pov

I recently set up a peertube instance for testing purposes. I set up automatic import of a youtube channel, now all imported videos are public by default. I am pretty sure there was a setting to change that, but I can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks!

So, I have enabled transcoding of all formats of live broadcast and then made this almost 1 hour stream with OBS at about 6000 Kbps.

Now that the stream is over and I try to run play the video, it's downloading these 2GBs pieces before the video evens starts

Isn't the whole point of live transcoding to have these lives playable just like normally uploaded videos?

It seems this is not doing a good job here...

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

Edit 3: Since then I have torn down this PeerTube instance and have started again with a new domain name. Still would love someone to help me figure this out :)

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?
