I've asked this before and don't think there was as much up and running at that point, but are there any great existing #PeerTube platforms for hosting #MusicVideos (and related puppet vids) that also give the option to embed privately or "unlisted"?
I currently pay a Vimeo subscription to have no ads and privacy settings on certain playlists, but I'd prefer to put those funds into more recording time and the videos themselves. Any suggestions? 🙃 #FediMusic#Musodon#DIYMusic#Music#Musician
@RobertaFidora I am working on a project that is going to cover your usecase very well - in fact already is perfectly able to cover it, but for the time being only with a number of gotchas (reason being that the first beta release is only happening this month :)). Maybe keep it bookmarked if you find it generally interesting, in about a year from now it might just be in a state where it comes without any gotchas, if things work out the way I envision :) https://simonrepp.com/hyper8
Hi @RobertaFidora, I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you need, however, I have an unlisted PeerTube video, and it's embedded in a page on my website.
@LucaManciniDrummer Hello! Yes, that's one thing I'd like to do (having space to upload larger videos and no ad presence are other factors and I pay to do that through Vimeo currently), but I'm just at a loss with what instance to join and wondered if there was an existing community of Fediverse folks already on there that I might've missed? I still have YouTube and don't mind using that for a lot of things, but for private/unlisted stuff and specific videos, the ads are kind of intrusive.
@RobertaFidora I'm still not sure what you're trying to achieve (sorry 😂) - kind of private space to store videos?
To do what I described earlier, I used https://makertube.net/
However, I needed to do it once, I'm not sure if it's ok with their rules if used as "personal storage" (again, if this is what you need to do)
@LucaManciniDrummer No worries, I didn't explain it too well! Yes, that's a good summary of what I'm trying to do. For instance, I share some vids with a small group of people on my site (both music vids and longer "episodes" of things) and it would be good if I could do some of that outside of YouTube infrastructure. This has just popped up from @freebliss and looks like it be onto something (as long as there is an upload guide for dummies like myself). 🙃 https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/

That's great, and I wanted to have a look as well! 😁
However, being self-hosted (I guess), you need to have space and processing power (I guess? 😆).
I think if you're not eating hundreds of gigabytes, the PeerTube instance should be fine too!
@LucaManciniDrummer to leave a late note here: Space (on the server) can be an issue, it's in one own's hands though (full control over video resolution, encoding quality etc.) and it also depends a lot on the video formats (music video vs. feature films ;)) and the provider (some offer (fair-use) unlimited disk storage at quite reasonable prices). Processing power is only of some relevance on the authoring computer (normally not the server) as all encoding happens before deployment anyway. If that computer happens to be specifically slow, more patience is required during encoding, but that's all. :) Well noted on the upload guide part @RobertaFidora, this is indeed something I want to put extra focus on in the long run :) (also for faircamp). It's not an easy endeavour as there are so many unpredictable factors for any given user, but it's super important nonetheless!
