We tried to simulate 1000 viewers on a #PeerTube video, and then on a livestream. (Note that 99% of twitch livestreams are under 1000 simultaneous views.)
We optimized accordingly... And here are the results: it works!
With a ~20$ server, PeerTube can now support such usecases.
As YouTube seems to be going increasingly ad-heavy, have had many requests to do posts about how to get into #PeerTube.
PeerTube is an ad-free video platform on the Fediverse. You can follow and interact with PeerTube accounts from Mastodon etc. When a PeerTube account posts a video, it will appear in your Mastodon timeline just like any post, and you can like, share, reply etc.
We are in the process of developing a mobile application in 2024 🎉 :peertube:
Before starting the technical development, we felt it was important to understand the expectations of people who are watching #PeerTube videos.
We're looking for a few people to take part in a short 30 minutes video conference during the week of 15-19 January to find out more about your needs and opinions regarding the adaptation of PeerTube as a mobile application.
I’m hearing murmurs of YouTube blocking browsers that support ad blockers.
You know where you don’t have to worry about such things? Host your videos on a #PeerTube instance and use #Owncast for your live video streaming needs.
We need your help to ensure that #PeerTube (and all the actions of our not-for-profit) won't be funded solely by donations from the French speaking community!
We've got 5 weeks left to raise our 2024 budget: spread the word!
So, this is just great! Mastodon doesn't do marketing, but check out (...and share widely) this wonderful promotional video about Mastodon by Paige Saunders @paigesaunders
PeerTube, the Fediverse's alternative to YouTube, is normally associated with video. However, you can also upload audio files directly to PeerTube. It will accept lots of audio formats including .mp3, .ogg, .aac, .flac, .wma etc.
You can optionally upload an image file as a thumbnail. If not, audio files will show a black screen by default.
The last 10 days have been a whirlwind for the #fediverse. Important new versions of @mammoth and @ivory launched. Wordpress and Tumblr reaffirmed their commitment to ActivityPub. And Threads and Flipboard began to federate. What does this all mean for the fediverse? How will moderation work? Who will be next to federate?
A group of over 40 European organisations have recently released a statement calling for the EU to set up a European Public Digital Infrastructure Fund.
They call for this fund to support Digital Public Spaces, that are, among other things, based in FOSS, and ensure privacy by design. The statement gives three examples: #Mastodon, #PeerTube and #ActivityPub, stating that they would benefit from such a fund to further flourish.
A wave of new users is coming to #MakerTube because of #youtube began rolling out ad-block blocker everywhere. That is lovely, a warm welcome!
This also means a lot more resources are needed to handle the load. People are importing their whole youtube catalog and I needed to bring up a serious amount of resources which cost time and money.
Have questions about #PeerTube or want to know more about the team, and where the project is headed?
Next week there will be an Ask Me Anything with the @peertube team, streamed live directly on PeerTube!
I'll be the one to ask the questions to the team. You can already ask your questions right now, use the #PeerTubeAMA hashtag with your question to get them answered live on stream.
The stream will be Wednesday, Dec. 13th, 6-8 pm (CET)
MakerTube is open for public registrations! It's a peertube video instance for #makers, #musicians, #artists and #diy content #creators. If you thought of trying out a video platform besides big corp now is the time!
I've been working on a subtitle editor plugin for #peertube !
It adds a extra button on the update video page, and can do most of what you find in other tools, like visualize audio, basic formatting, and makes it easy to switch language.
The goal is that it should be "good enough" for most who just want to add subtitles/captions, but don't want to spend time finding and downloading dedicated software for this.
Instance administrators can install it via the plugin page. #accessibility#a11y#foss
