text:
|
||
- Everybody can host a PeerTube server we call <strong>instance</strong>. Every
|
||
instance hosts its own users and their videos. It also keeps a list of the
|
||
videos available of the instances the administrator chooses to follow in order
|
||
to suggest them to its users.
|
||
- Every account has a globally unique identifier (e.g. @chocobozzz@framatube.org)
|
||
consisting of the local username (@chocobozzz) and the domain name of the
|
||
server it is on (framatube.org).
|
||
- The administrators of a PeerTube instance can follow each other. When your
|
||
PeerTube instance follows another PeerTube instance, you receive the videos'
|
||
preview information from this instance. This way, you can display the videos
|
||
available on your instance and on the instances you decided to follow. So
|
||
you keep control of the videos displayed on your PeerTube instance!

text:
|

- Servers are run independently by different people and organizations. They

can apply wildly different moderation policies, so you can find or make one
|
||
that fits your taste perfectly.
|
||
- By watching a video, you help the hosting provider to broadcast it by becoming
|
||
a broadcaster of the video yourself. Each instance doesn’t need much money
|
||
to broadcast the videos of its users.

title: What is PeerTube?
|
||
text:
|
||
- PeerTube is software that you install on a web server. It allows you to create
|
||
a video hosting website, so create your "homemade YouTube".
|
||
- The difference to YouTube is that it’s not intended to create a huge platform
|
||
centralizing videos from the whole world on a single server farm (which is
|
||
horribly expensive).
|
||
- On the contrary, PeerTube’s concept is to create a network of multiple small
|
||
interconnected video hosting providers.
|
||
pros:
|
||
title: The three main advantages of PeerTube.
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'PeerTube is unique because (as far as we know) it’s the only video hosting
|
||
web application which combines three advantages:'
|
||
- Linked together, these three features makes it easy to host videos on the
|
||
server side, while remaining practical, ethical and fun for the internet users.
|
||
list:
|
||
- An open code (transparency) under a free/libre license (ethic, respect and
|
||
community-driven development);
|
||
- A federation of interconnected hosting providers (so more video choices wherever
|
||
you go to see them);
|
||
- Peer-to-peer broadcasting – and therefore viewing – (so no slowing down when
|
||
a video becomes viral).
|
||
libre:
|
||
title: Why is it better as free/libre software?
|
||
text:
|
||
- Because by design free/libre software respects our fundamental freedoms, and
|
||
guarantees them by <a href="@:data.link.gitPT/blob/develop/LICENSE">a license</a>,
|
||
so a legally enforceable contract.
|
||
- 'Concretely here, it means that:'
|
||
list:
|
||
- PeerTube is freely provided, no need to pay to install it on your server;
|
||
- 'We can look under the hood of PeerTube (its source code): it’s auditable,
|
||
transparent;'
|
||
- Its development is community-based, it can be enhanced by everyone’s contributions.
|
||
federated:
|
||
title: What’s the interest to federate the video hosting providers?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'The advantage of YouTube (and other platforms) is its video catalog: from
|
||
knitting tutorials to Minecraft constructions through videos of kittens or
|
||
holidays… you can find everything!'
|
||
- The more the video catalogue is varied, the more people are interested, the
|
||
more videos are uploaded… but hosting videos from all over the world is (very,
|
||
very) expensive!
|
||
- If the hosting provider Knitting-PeerTube becomes friends with Kittens-Tube
|
||
and Framatube, it will display the videos of others on its site, thus diluting
|
||
hosting costs while remaining practical and complete for Internet users.
|
||
- 'PeerTube’s federation protocol will be fluid (everyone can choose their "friends"
|
||
hosts), and based on <a href="@:data.link.activitypub">ActivityPub</a>: this
|
||
will open the possibility to connect with tools like Mastodon or MediaGoblin.'
|
||
p2p:
|
||
title: Why broadcast PeerTube videos through peer-to-peer?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'When you host a large file like a video, the biggest thing to fear is success:
|
||
if a video becomes viral and many people watch it at the same time, the server
|
||
has a big risk of getting overloaded!'
|
||
- Peer-to-peer broadcasting allows, thanks to the <a href="@:link.wArticle/WebRTC">WebRTC</a>
|
||
protocol, that Internet users who watch the same video at the same time exchange
|
||
bits of files, which relieves the server.
|
||
- 'There is nothing to do: your web browser does it automatically. If you are
|
||
on a mobile phone or if your network does not allow it (router, firewall,
|
||
etc.), this function is disabled and switches back to an "old-style" video
|
||
broadcast @:data.emoji.wink</>.'
|
||
admin:
|
||
title: For those who know how to administer a server, PeerTube is…
|
||
text:
|
||
- '<strong>It’s software you install on your server</strong> to create a website
|
||
where videos are hosted and broadcast… Basically: you create your own "homemade
|
||
YouTube"!'
|
||
- There already exists free/libre software that enables you to do this. But
|
||
with PeerTube, you can link your instance (your video website) to Zaïd’s PeerTube
|
||
instance (where he hosts videos of the lectures for his people’s university),
|
||
to Catherin’s (who hosts her webmedia videos) or even to Solar’s PeerTube
|
||
instance (who manages a vloggers collective).
|
||
- '<strong>But PeerTube doesn’t centralize: it federates.</strong> Thanks to
|
||
the <a href="@:data.link.activitypub">ActivityPub</a> protocol (also used
|
||
by <a href="@:data.link.mastodon">the Mastodon federation</a>, a free/libre
|
||
Twitter alternative), PeerTube can federate several small hosters so they
|
||
don’t have to buy thousands of hard disks to host videos for the whole world.'
|
||
- As a result, on your PeerTube website, the audience will be able to watch
|
||
not only your videos, but also videos hosted by Zaïd, Catherin or Solar… without
|
||
having to host their videos on your PeerTube-powered website. Such diversity
|
||
in a video-catalog makes it very attractive. Such a large choice and diversity
|
||
of videos is what made centralized platforms such as YouTube succesful.
|
||
- 'Federation offers another benefit: <strong>everyone becomes independent</strong>.
|
||
Zaïd, Catherin, Solar and yourself can make your own rules, your own Terms
|
||
of Services (for example, one can imagine a MeowTube where dogs videos are
|
||
strictly forbidden @:data.emoji.wink).'
|
||
video-maker:
|
||
title: For those who wants to upload their videos, PeerTube allows…
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'It allows you to choose a hoster that fits you. YouTube’s excesses are a
|
||
good exemple: its hoster, Google/Alphabet, can impose its "Robocopyright"
|
||
(the ContentID system) or its tools to index, recommend and spotlight videos;
|
||
and those tools seem as unfair as they are obscure. Even though, it already
|
||
forces you <a href="@:data.link.tosdr">to give it extended copyrights on your
|
||
videos, for free</a>!'
|
||
- With PeerTube, <strong>you can choose the hoster of your videos according
|
||
to his terms of services</strong>, his moderation policy, his federation choices…
|
||
As you don’t have a tech giant facing you, you might be able to talk with
|
||
you hoster if you ever have a problem, a need, or something you want.
|
||
- The other big advantage of PeerTube is that your hoster doesn’t have to fear
|
||
the sudden success of one of your videos. Indeed, PeerTube broadcasts videos
|
||
with the protocol <a href="@:link.wArticle/BitTorrent">WebTorrent</a>. If
|
||
hundreds of people are watching your video at the same time, their browsers
|
||
automatically send bits of your video to other viewers.
|
||
- Before this peer-to-peer broadcast, successful videographers (or videos that
|
||
make the buzz) were doomed to be hosted by a web giant whose infrastructure
|
||
can handle millions of simultaneous views… Or to pay for a very expensive
|
||
independent video host so that it can hold the load.
|
||
audience:
|
||
title: For those who want to watch videos, PeerTube can offer…
|
||
text:
|
||
- One of the benefits is that <strong>you become a part of the broadcasting
|
||
of the videos you are watching</strong>. If other people are watching a PeerTube
|
||
video at the same time as you, as long as your tab remains open, your browser
|
||
shares bits of that video and you participate in a healthier use of the Internet.
|
||
- 'Of course, PeerTube’s video player adapts to your situation: if your installation
|
||
does not allow peer-to-peer playback (corporate network, recalcitrant browser,
|
||
etc.) video playback will be done in the classic way.'
|
||
- But above all, <strong>PeerTube treats you like a person, not as a product</strong>
|
||
that it has to track, profile, and lock in video loops to better sell your
|
||
available brain time. Thus, the <a href="@:data.link.gitPT">source code</a>
|
||
(the recipe) of the PeerTube software is open, making its operation transparent.
|
||
- '<strong>PeerTube is not only open-source: it’s free (as in free speech).</strong>
|
||
Its free license guarantees our fundamental freedoms as users. It is this
|
||
respect for our freedoms that allows Framasoft to invite you to contribute
|
||
to this software, and many evolutions (innovative comment system, etc.) have
|
||
already been suggested by some of you.'
|
||
remplace-yt:
|
||
title: Is PeerTube’s purpose to replace YouTube?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'We can answer with certainty: no!'
|
||
- In March 2018, PeerTube released its publicly usable beta version. Several
|
||
collectives set up the first instances, thus creating the bases of the federation.
|
||
- But this is just the beginning, PeerTube is not (yet) perfect, and many features
|
||
are missing. But we intend to keep improving it day after day.
|
||
- 'March 2018 thus represents the birth of the PeerTube federations: the more
|
||
this software will be used and supported, the more people will use it and
|
||
contribute to it, and the faster it will evolve towards a concrete alternative
|
||
to platforms such as YouTube.'
|
||
- 'Nevertheless, the ambition remains to be <strong>a free and decentralized
|
||
alternative</strong>: the goal of an alternative is not to replace, but to
|
||
propose something else, with different values, in parallel to what already
|
||
exists.'
|
||
content:
|
||
law:
|
||
title: If it’s free, can we upload illegal stuff on it?
|
||
text:
|
||
- Being free doesn’t mean being above the law! Each PeerTube hosting provider
|
||
can decide on its own general conditions of use, abiding by their local laws.
|
||
- For example, in France, discriminatory content <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_contre_le_racisme_et_les_discours_de_haine">is
|
||
prohibited</a> and may be <a href="http://stop-discrimination.gouv.fr/agir/ne-pas-laisser-faire-les-recours">reported
|
||
to the authorities</a>. PeerTube allows users to report problematic videos,
|
||
and each administrator must then apply its moderation in accordance with its
|
||
terms and conditions and the law.
|
||
- The federation system, for its part, allows hosts to decide with whom they
|
||
want to connect, depending on the types of content or the moderation policies
|
||
of others.
|
||
responsible:
|
||
title: Who is responsible for content published on PeerTube?
|
||
text:
|
||
- 'PeerTube is not a website: it is software that allows a web hoster (for example,
|
||
Dominique) to create a video website (let’s call it DominiqueTube).'
|
||
- Now imagine that Camille has created an account on DominiqueTube and uploads
|
||
an illegal video, because this video uses music created by Solal.
|
||
- Solal goes on Framatube, an instance which follows DominiqueTube. So, Solal
|
||
can see, from Framatube, the videos published on DominiqueTube.
|
||
- Solal sees Camille’s illegal video, and signals it with the button provided
|
||
for that purpose. Although the report is made from Framatube, it is sent directly
|
||
to the person hosting the illegal content, Dominique.
|
||
- From that moment on, Dominique is responsible, because they are warned that
|
||
they’re hosting an illegal video. It is therefore up to them to act if they
|
||
don’t want to be held accountable before the law.
|
||
- Then Dominique and Solal can turn against Camille, who uploaded the video.
|
||
money:
|
||
title: What is PeerTube’s remuneration policy?
|
||
text:
|
||
- OrderedDict([('There are none, not at the moment', 'PeerTube is a tool that
|
||
we wanted neutral in terms of remuneration.')])
|
||
- 'For now, the solution proposed to people who upload videos is to use the
|
||
"support" button under the video. This button displays a frame in which people
|
||
who upload videos can display text, images, and links freely. For example,
|
||
it’s possible to put a link to Patreon, Tipeee, Paypal, Liberapay (or any
|
||
other solution) there. Other examples: put a postal address if you’d like
|
||
to receive physical thank-you cards, put a logo of your enterprise, a link
|
||
to support a non-profit organisation…'
|
||
- We did not go any further because to favour one technical solution would be
|
||
to impose, in the code, a political vision of cultural sharing and its financing.
|
||
All financial solutions are possible and treated equally in PeerTube.
|
||
- However, many improvements of PeerTube are to be expected… Including those
|
||
that would allow you to create (and choose) the monetization tools that interest
|
||
you!
|
||
- 'Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the vast majority of videos published
|
||
on the Internet (and even on YouTube) are shared for non-market purposes:
|
||
remuneration is a tool, but not necessarily a main or essential purpose.'
|
||
instances:
|
||
title: Where can I put my videos?
|
||
text:
|
||
- You need to find a PeerTube hosting instance you trust.
|
||
- There’s a complete <a href="@:data.link.instancesPT">list of instances here</a>,
|
||
and a list of those that are <a href="./#getting-started">open to registration
|
||
here</a>.
|
||
- Then, we recommend you go to the instances, read their "about" page to discover
|
||
their terms of use (disk space limit per user, content policy, etc.).
|
||
- It’s best to contact and talk directly with hosting providers, to understand
|
||
their business model, vision, etc. Because only you can determine what makes
|
||
you trust such or such host, and thus entrust your videos to them.
|
||
pornography:
|
||
title: There are many porn videos on PeerTube!
|
||
text:
|
||
- No. In October 2018, on an average instance federating with ~200 instances
|
||
and indexing ~16000 videos, only ~200 videos are tagged as NSFW (i. e. the
|
||
content is sensitive, which could be something else than pornography). Therefore,
|
||
they represent only ~1% of all the videos.
|
||
- "Moreover, each administrator decides with which instances he wants to federate:\
|
||
\ he has the full control of the content he wants to display on his instance.\
|
||
\ It's up to him to choose the policy regarding this kind of videos. He can\
|
||
\ decide to: <ul><li>Display them</li><li>Blur the title and thumbnail</li><li>Hide\
|
||
\ them</li></ul>"
|
||
- By default, this configuration is set to "Hide them". If some administrators
|
||
decide to display them with a blur filter for example, it's <strong>their</strong>
|
||
choice.
|
||
- Finally, any user can override this configuration, and decides if he want
|
||
to display, blur or hide these videos for himself.
|
||
- "PeerTube is just a software: it's not Framasoft (non-profit that develops\
|
||
\ PeerTube) that's responsible for the content published on some instances."
|
||
- "It's up to everyone to be responsible: parents, visitors, uploaders, PeerTube\
|
||
\ administrators to respect the law and avoid any problematic situations."

guide is here</a> (only in English, for the moment).
|

- 'We recommend not to install PeerTube on low-end hardware or behind a weak

title: PeerTube v1.0 does not seem to me to contain all the tools necessary
|
||
for a good management of my instance.
|
||
text:
|
||
- '<blockquote>"It’s outrageous and unconscious: you’re releasing PeerTube’s
|
||
version 1 when it doesn’t contain the necessary tools to effectively manage
|
||
videos claimed by rights holders, or to effectively manage the issue of online
|
||
harassment in comments, or to effectively manage monetization through advertising,
|
||
or to (insert here your request to PeerTube). It will never work! What do
|
||
you intend to do about it?"</blockquote>'
|
||
- You’re right. PeerTube 1.0 is not the perfect tool, far from it. And we never
|
||
promised that this version 1.0 would be a tool that would include all the
|
||
features corresponding to all cases.
|
||
- PeerTube 1.0 is the realization of the commitment we made in October 2017
|
||
to take PeerTube from an alpha version (personal project and proof of concept
|
||
that a federated video platform could work) to a 1.0 version in October 2018
|
||
(which does not mean "final version", but "version considered stable and distributable").
|
||
- Remember that PeerTube has only one (almost) full time developer and a small
|
||
handful of very involved volunteers. It is not a product developed by a start-up
|
||
with a full time team (dev, design, UX, marketing, support, etc.) and significant
|
||
financial support. It is a Community free software, the development of which
|
||
will continue over the months and, we hope, in the years to come.
|
||
- 'We are well aware of the shortcomings of PeerTube 1.0, especially in the
|
||
moderation tools area (videos, comments, etc.). And we intend to work on these
|
||
weaknesses. '
|
||
- 'We have chosen to do so as follows: on the one hand we will work primarily
|
||
in the coming months to improve these tools within PeerTube itself (in the
|
||
<i>core</i> of the software). On the other hand, we will also focus, in parallel,
|
||
a large part of PeerTube’s development effort during 2019 on the integration
|
||
of a plugin system, which can be developed by the communities.'
|
||
- 'Indeed, we do not claim to have the science behind it and know how best to
|
||
manage each of the tools according to each of the needs. For example: with
|
||
regard to the question of DMCA requests, cases vary according to geographical

jurisdictions (European law is different from French law, itself different
|
||
from Canadian law, itself different from American law, etc.). Concerning the
|
||
tools for moderating comments, here again, we cannot decree ourselves experts
|
||
of the subject, because this is simply not the case.'
|
||
- By acting both on the <i>core</i>, but also by allowing the development of
|
||
plugins, we believe that PeerTube will, in the long term, be able to respond
|
||
much better to these issues and allow different communities to adapt PeerTube
|
||
to their needs.
|
||
- We are working as quickly as possible to improve PeerTube, but we are doing
|
||
so with the resources we have, which means <strong>very</strong> limited.
|
||
- 'In the meantime, as an user if you feel that PeerTube 1.0 does not currently
|
||
meet your needs, it’s simple: don’t use it right now :) (we remind you that
|
||
we don’t make money developing PeerTube, and that if we obviously hope for
|
||
its success, the survival of our association doesn’t depend on it).'
|
||
- As an administrator, if you are afraid of DMCA requests, there is an option
|
||
to limit the opening of registrations to people you know. You will then be
|
||
able to reopen registrations without verification once these verification
|
||
tools have been integrated, or you have developed them.

protocol:
|
||
title: Why does PeerTube use the ActivityPub federation protocol? Why not IPFS
|
||
/ d.tube / Steemit?
|
||
text:
|
||
- PeerTube uses ActivityPub because this federation protocol is recommended
|
||
by the W3C and is already used by the federated social network Mastodon.
|
||
- IPFS is a great technology, but it still seems very (too!) young for large
|
||
scale streaming of large files.
|
||
- After discussing it on our forum, we feel that d.tube is not free or open
|
||
source, because publishing only compiled code hinders freedom of modification.
|
||
- D.tube is based on Steem for "remuneration", it is a choice, but Steem is
|
||
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steemit#Criticism">widely criticized</a>
|
||
as <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@docdelux/30-days-of-steemit-here-is-my-criticism">highly
|
||
centralized</a>, and suspiciously <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptonews/psa-constructive-criticism-the-ugly-truth-behind-steemit">resembles
|
||
a Ponzi system</a>.
|
||
- PeerTube is free, decentralized, distributed, and does not impose any remuneration
|
||
model. This is the choice we have made, which is debatable, and others (like
|
||
d.tube) have made other choices, which have their advantages. So it’s up to
|
||
you to see what suits you.

p1: Hello!
|
||
p2: We've just released PeerTube 1.3 and it brings a lot of new features.
|
||
p3: "The most important of these new features is <strong>the playlist system</strong>.\
|
||
\ This feature allows any user to create a playlist in which it's possible\
|
||
\ to add videos and reorder them. Videos added to a playlist can be viewed\
|
||
\ entirely or partially: the creator of the playlist can decide when the\
|
||
\ video playback starts and/or ends (timecode system). This system is really\
|
||
\ useful to create all kinds of zappings or educational contents by selecting\
|
||
\ extracts from videos which interest you. In addition, a \"Watch Later\"\
|
||
\ playlist is created by default for each user. Thus, you can save videos\
|
||
\ in this playlist when you don't have time to watch them immediately."
|
||
p4: 'Another feature of this 1.3 version has been entirely developed by an
|
||
external contributor: <a href="https://github.com/joshmorel">Josh Morel</a>
|
||
who add <strong>a quarantine system</strong> for videos on PeerTube. If
|
||
the administrator of an instance enables this feature, any new video uploaded
|
||
on his instance will automatically be hidden until a moderator approves
|
||
it.'
|
||
p5: 'PeerTube translation community have done a huge job. <strong>3 new languages</strong>
|
||
are now available: Japanese, Dutch and European Portuguese (PeerTube already
|
||
support Brazilian Portuguese). Amazing! PeerTube is now available in 19
|
||
languages!'
|
||
p6: Now, administrators can <strong>manage more finely how other instances
|
||
subscribe to their own instance</strong>. The administrator can decide whether
|
||
or not to approve the subscription of another instance to its own. It is
|
||
also possible to activate automatic rejection for any new subscription to
|
||
its instance. Finally, a notification is created as soon as the administrator's
|
||
instance receives a new subscription. These features help administrators
|
||
control on which instances their content is displayed.
|
||
p7: We're also redesigning the <strong>PeerTube video player</strong> to offer
|
||
better video playback and to correct a few bugs. With this new player, resolution
|
||
changes should be smoother and the bandwidth management is optimized with
|
||
a more efficient buffering system. Version 1.3 of PeerTube also adds ability
|
||
for administrators to enable this new experimental player so we can get
|
||
feedback on it. We hope to use this new player by default in the future.
|
||
p8: Finally, we have made some adjustments to the <strong>user interface</strong>
|
||
so it easier and nicer to use. For instance, video thumbnails are becoming
|
||
bigger so that they're more highlighted. Users now have a quick access to
|
||
their library from the menu that includes their playlists, videos, video
|
||
watching history and their subscriptions.
|
||
p9: Many other improvements have been made in this new version. You can see
|
||
the complete list on <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v1.3.0">https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v1.3.0</a>.
|
||
p10: Thanks to all PeerTube contributors!

p1: Since version 1.0 has been released last November, we went on improving
|
||
PeerTube, day after day. These improvements on PeerTube go well beyond the
|
||
objectives fixed during the crowdfunding. They have been funded by the <a
|
||
href="https://framasoft.org/en/">Framasoft non-profit</a>, which develops
|
||
the software (and lives only through <a href="https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en/">your
|
||
donations</a>).
|
||
p2: 'Here is a small retrospective of the end of 2018/beginning of 2019:'
|
||
p3: In December 2018, we released version 1.1 which contained some moderation
|
||
tools requested by instance administrators.<br> We also took the opportunity
|
||
to add a watched videos history feature and the automatic resuming of video
|
||
playback.
|
||
p4: "In January, we released version 1.2 that supports 3 new languages: Russian,\
|
||
\ Polish and Italian. Thanks to PeerTube's community of translators, PeerTube\
|
||
\ is now translated into 16 different languages!"
|
||
p5: This version also includes a notification system that allows users to
|
||
be informed (on the web interface or through email) when their video is
|
||
commented, when someone mention them, when one of their subscriptions has
|
||
published a new video, etc.
|
||
p6: 'In the meantime, the PeerTube federation has grown: today, more than
|
||
300 instances broadcast more than 70,000 videos, with nearly 2 million cumulated
|
||
views. We remind you that the only official website we maintain around PeerTube
|
||
is <a href="https://joinpeertube.org/en">https://joinpeertube.org/en</a>
|
||
and that we bear no responsibility on any other site that may be published.'
|
||
p7: As you can see, we have gone far beyond what the crowdfunding has funded.
|
||
And we will continue!<br> For 2019, we plan to add a plugin and theme management
|
||
system (even though basic at first), playlist management, support for audio
|
||
files upload and many other features.
|
||

p2: We are now in mid-October! As promised, we have just released the first

in a specific PeerTube instance or in a video channel you like. You can

also subscribe to comment feeds!</li> <li>A more relevant search, with the

ability to set advanced filters (duration, category, tags...)</li> <li>Subscriptions
|

throughout the federation: you can follow your favorite video channels and
|

see all the videos on a dedicated page</li> <li>Redundancy system: a PeerTube
|

instance can help sharing some videos from another instance</li> </ul>'

p1: Hello everyone!
|
||
p2: A month before the version 1 of PeerTube, we would like to share some
|
||
(good!) news with you.
|
||
p3: We just released PeerTube <em>beta 12</em>, that allows to subscribe to
|
||
video channels, whether they are on your instance or even on remote instances.
|
||
This way, you can browse videos of your subscribed channels in a dedicated
|
||
page. Moreover, if your PeerTube administrator allows it, you can search
|
||
a channel or a video directly by typing their web address in the PeerTube
|
||
search bar.
|
||
p4: It was not included in the crowdfunding, but we created an "Overview"
|
||
page, that displays videos of some categories/tags/channels picked randomly,
|
||
to show the diversity of the videos uploaded on PeerTube. You can see <a
|
||
href="https://peertube3.cpy.re/videos/overview">a demonstration here</a>.
|
||
p5: You can read the complete <em>beta 12</em> changelog <a href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md#v100-beta12">here</a>.
|
||
p6: "Regarding the crowdfunding, most of the rewards are ready: <a href=\"\
|
||
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube\">the PeerTube README</a> and <a\
|
||
\ href=\"https://joinpeertube.org/fr/hall-of-fame/\">the JoinPeerTube Hall\
|
||
\ of Fame</a> show off the names of the persons who have chosen the corresponding\
|
||
\ rewards. We will soon be able to send the personalized thank-you digital\
|
||
\ arts to people that gave 80€ (~93 USD) and more (and it's so beautiful\
|
||
\ that we are looking forward to it!)"
|
||
p7: The last feature we have to implement is the videos redundancy between
|
||
instances, which will further increase resilience on instance overload.
|
||
If all goes well, we should finish it in about two weeks (end of september).
|
||
p8: We remind you that you can track the progress of the work directly <a
|
||

|
||
and be part of the discussions/bug reports/feature requests in the "Issues"

days, when we will release a new version (<em>v1.0.0-beta.11</em>).<br>
