It's #givingtuesday, so we're giving you PeerTube v6 today! PeerTube is the software we develop for creators, media, institutions, educators... to manage their own video platform, as an alternative to YouTube and Twitch. 🦆 VS 😈: Let's take back some ground from the tech giants!

PeerTube, the decentralized and open-source alternative to video broadcasting services such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitch, has launched its version 6. This comes after only two minor versions were released, with PeerTube 5.2 launched in June and PeerTube 5.1 in March.
The 5.1 version introduced an “asking for an account” feature, a “back-to-live” button, and enhanced the authentication plugin. The 5.2 version improved RSS feeds, added an option to set livestream replay privacy, enhanced mouse-free navigation, and notably, introduced a remote transcoding feature.
The latest release, PeerTube v6, provides users with the ability to password-protect videos, a new video storyboard feature (to preview videos on mouse hover), and the option to upload a new version of a video (to correct or update it, for example). It also introduces video chapters among other features.
In addition to these new features, PeerTube v6 has removed WebTorrent to focus on HLS, and features an enhanced video player. It also comes with improved SEO and accessibility, along with a host of other changes, improvements, and bug fixes. Finally, PeerTube has conducted stress tests and provided performance and configuration recommendations for its live-streaming feature.
Hi everyone, I recently made a peertube instance and I see the potential!
But the discoverability is absolutely lackluster. It must be possible somehow to see and sort videos that are out there.
If I search for minecraft videos on my instance for example, it obviously shows only the other instances I federate with.
But to find new instances I search through joinpeertube.org‘s elasticsearch and get the most unrelated stuff.
I was recently asked to submit a pr to framasofts gitlab but the signup/signin is bugged.
This is what I mean with stuff needs to be easier. Any ideas?
I'm new at both PeerTube and at Piped/NewPipe frontends. I've always wanted to support PeerTube but every time I browse instances I see very little content and it's especially barren for the type of stuff I like. Not really a tech guy, even though I'm learning some programming my background is that of a Literature teacher that likes gaming (especially indie gaming, but some AAA RPG/JRPG/narrative/strategy gaming is cool too) and video essays about anything that have at least a bit of humanities bend.
I've started using Piped to watch YT videos (I don't use NewPipe since I rarely use my phone, more of a desktop guy). I've heard you can watch both YT and PeerTube videos on NewPipe. Can you do the same at Piped? And if so, what would be the best way to find channels with the aforementioned characteristics?
Stuff in Spanish is fine too since that's my actual language but I assume there's not much stuff in Spanish in PeerTube and therefore even less quality content and even less quality content that caters to my specific likes. So I foresee it'll mostly be in English like in YouTube.

I want to download my favorite debates and old videos from YouTube to upload to Odysee or PeerTube. Can I do that without getting in some sort of legal trouble? Thanks
Looking for a PeerTube instance for game devlogs.
I have a crafts channel on makertube.net already but would prefer to spread myself around in case one server goes down. Also tbh I'm not even sure devlogs would count as "making" anyway.
Tried the instance finder on the PT homepage but it's pretty useless so if anyone knows where is stable and welcomes this kind of content I'd appreciate it! Thanks.
Preferably based in a based jurisdiction - one that doesn't take down claims.
Thank you.
How much time did you wait?
The way I see it, the mobile app ecosystem for PeerTube has yet to take off, in spite of the fact that it has a seemingly decent API. More people appear to be using the platform than ever before, which is great, but we still seem to be lacking a general ecosystem that Mastodon or even Lemmy has.
To my knowledge, these are the only apps I've ever found that work with PeerTube:
It just feels as though we're lacking a quality mobile client for PeerTube, and I think it's a missed opportunity. Do we currently now of any other efforts out there to build for the platform?
