  The only idea I have for PeerTube is to federate by default.

    I think it does

      Then why is every instance I’ve seen completely or almost completely undefeated?

    It does, but then most admins immediately turn it off. I uncovered this problem a few months ago.

  Congrats! That’s really great. Password-protected videos have been a top requested feature for a while! The storyboard will definitely improve scrubbing experience, and chapters the viewing experience.
  Big release!

  My only wish is that they support sharing bandwidth without having to host a peertube instance. The idea is on their page …joinpeertube.org/…/allow-third-parties-to-contri… but for some reason, it’s not important to them. I have multiple VPSes each with a few GBs and unlimited bandwidth that I’d happily share, but can’t.

  What’s even worse, they are removing the possibility to share bandwidth without hosting a peertube instance:

  We needed to settle a technical debt : v6 removes support for WebTorrent to focus on HLS (with WebRTC P2P). Both are technical bricks used to get peer-to-peer streaming in web browsers, but HLS is more fitted to what we are doing (and plan to do) with PeerTube

  I wouldn’t want to be a peertube instance admin…

    My only wish is that they support sharing bandwidth without having to host a peertube instance.

    Remote runners for transcoding video already exists, so I think it’s plausible that we could get something for redundancy / help with bandwidth as well.

    Bandwidth is just not really that big of an issue on PeerTube. If multiple people are watching is watching the same video, they share bandwidth and lots of PeerTube instances have redundancy enabled.

    A much bigger issue is storage.

      You’re missing the point: if I want to contribute bandwidth, I need to host an instance or watch the exact same video somebody else is watching.

      Bandwidth is just not really that big of an issue on PeerTube.

      Finding a nice video on some random instance but being unable to watch it because it can only provide 100KB/s or worse says you’re wrong.

  Thanks for this, I was hoping something like PeerTube existed. Happy to know it does.
