Just found this link on the site, so cool! Thanks for all the setup info on GitHub as well.
I also noticed that live-streaming is in the cards for peertube, that may simplify the site a bit when released.

Yeah will be fun to try it out when streaming is implemented- we already have a streaming server set up for scanlines so it doesn’t matter too much for now , but maybe the peertube version will intergrate better in the end let’s see !

It’s encouraging to see the Peertube project managed to stick to their roadmap. Apparently the live streaming development is almost over and the feature is now available in the develop branch of v2.4 (we run on 2.2).
At last I’ve started playing with our instance, I’ve been uploading some clips and checking the features, it works well and it looks cool. Thanks for setting up another efficient tool for this beautiful community <3
a small detail very appreciated (as the setup info on GitHub)

i should have some time next week - can try updating us to the dev branch if people are interested in trying the live stream feature.
logistically im not sure what would be best to do here; currently we have:
- $10pm droplet running the chat & our custom streaming
- $5pm droplet running peertube
it is likely (especially with transcoding / persisting enabled) that the $5 peertube droplet will be too little. we could try it on a $10 one and see how that goes… we could also try the chat on $5 droplet again perhaps, since it is nice to have but pretty quiet most of the time.
any thoughts ?
i think we should keep the chat / streaming droplet at $10 because i would prefer to avoid the crashing issue again, we do use the streaming service pretty often at this point on top of rocket chat.
i would say let’s try out peertube’s livestream branch and then maybe we can bump it up if needed. it’s possible that we will prefer streaming on there and it could be a replacement for our current system, or maybe it’s too soon and buggy. would it be possible to revert if we want to roll back from the beta build ?
if $ is an issue i could throw down some to help beef up the peertube server while we try things out!
Yeap happy to keep chat droplet as is. (Still not 100% sure the single crash was memory related , but agree the chat has been p stable since bumping it)
actually we are doing quite ok for $$ rn (it fluctuates but last email I got said receiving $6.65 / $7 needed from 6 donors - someone plz increase our amount by 0.01 lol 
)
I don’t think it will be a problem to roll back the version if we want to. Will take a look anyway

Can’t get the embed test to play, do I need to wait a long time, or something else need to be done for setup? I’m also trying on safari btw. Just get a loading circle for the last 15 minutes or so.
Right now I get the same as @Dr_Rek. However the 720p and 1080p versions actually start playing for a fraction of seconds, before hanging again.
It plays correctly on its own page.
It’s a general temporary problem: it’s also happening with the 2 clips in the first post at Uploads on videos.scanlines.xyz stuck at "video is being transcoded" which were playing without issues around 5 hours ago. It may be related to what’s being discussed there, whatever it turns out to be.
BTW thanks @cyberboy666 for trusting me with the admin rights. I haven’t got into the Peertube admin interface yet.
Could someone please check if the videos on our Peertube instance play fine?
Maybe start with this one as it is peculiarly huge - 17 GB - even if I have no idea if the size factors in:
I had no issues yesterday but right now they almost all fail to play.
My internet connection is shitty in general so it may just be that.
they all seem to be working fine on my end.
- can you all please check (and correct where needed) videos.scanlines? it was empty, so I copy/pasted there excerpts about our Peertube instance from various threads
- if you start new threads and mention Peertube please use the #peertube tag. I just created it and tagged various threads
- i created a thread to collect random Peertube things and I’m thinking of creating another one for errors and issues only

Small update to logging into our peertube instance - weve seen a recent uptick in off-topic/spam/hate posted on there lately so have made it harder to get access to people not coming from this forum:
to access your account on the peertube: first make sure you are logged in on the main forum, then click the orange “join” button on the peertube
Now if you try to join without already being logged in here you will be met wjth unauthorized and no further prompts on how to get access

The Home page of videos.scanlines.xyz is looking a little sad. Other instances seem to eschew a Home page in favour of directing to Local Videos. Considering the info on Home is already on the About page maybe we could do this too?
…i’d like to test some things and try and stream a live-jam thursday night (8:30 PM CET, approx. 3-4h) from Munich via videos.scanlines.xyz (in parallel to Youtube) - if this is ‘ok’ - please let me know if it is not…
…i think i was successful in retrieving the necessary information from the videos.scanlines.xyz-server - hope this will work; this event is music-heavy, less video-art, but if this test works i would like to use the livestream-feature for video-art-livestreams in the future…

…seems it all went great! - thank you for making this possible…
…there were some minor hickups for example when my streaming-machine (Yolobox Extreme) crashed due to me changing NDI-encodings midstream, but it was no problem to pick up the stream again a few seconds later, or when it took me almost the whole session to figure out that one of the four NDI-Encoders (ZowieBox 4K NDI) i used behind the (Panasonic) Cameras was defective and stopped its stream all the time…
…but no problems with the stream itself or using the scanlines server for streaming live - a great experperience!..
…uh?! - here are the links to the videos/livestream:
