If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?

Is the P2P component what makes or breaks this platform? It sounds like this is key to its success.

Are PT hosts also part of the P2P network? I could see hosting costs increase dramatically as a result of hosting popular content.

[mitm0@lemmy.world]

But it uses stripe

Admins are able to add external search engines. Most use sepia search and it pretty much covers all the non-sketchy stuff.

[manicdave@feddit.uk]

It can be integrated into the website, admins just need to tick these options...

Better algorithm and a better incentive to post content (im not sure what, maybe donations)

[pseudo@jlai.lu]

Automatic subtitles. I know... Not the easiest functionality to develop but I do miss it from Youtube.

[uis@lemm.ee]

Multiple audio tracks for different languages.

[fundmecfsresearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

So many things:

• A closed caption system like youtube. I’m deaf so 90% of peertube videos are just unwatchable to me.
• A working mobile app.
• An easy guide to instances that is clear on which instances are mainly local vids and which basically federate with everything. Ideally, a couple, lemmy.world, lemm.ee style peertube instances that are general purpose and kind of have everything I can direct people who want to join too.
• A non-personalised algorithm. Ie. recommend similar high rated videos.

Unskippable one-hour long ads.

[wisely@feddit.org]

You are probably already aware but YouTube's closed captions are very inaccurate. I'm sure it's better than nothing though.

[fundmecfsresearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Yes it very much depends the video. But on slow paced standard english they tend to be okay, which is most the content I end up watching anyways.

[captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works]

VLC is adding AI generated subtitles, I wonder if it would be possible to co-opt that?

[pseudo@jlai.lu]

That would be nice.

[meldrik@lemmy.wtf]

You can. You can set a video as "internal only". So only users registered on the server, can watch it.

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

Yes but they won't federate out which defeats the point of peertube.

[meldrik@lemmy.wtf]

True, but I wouldn’t want to have a wallen garden, like Instagram or Twitter, where it forces you to create a user.

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

It would be instance by instance policy. I think there are many cases where an instance should only be available to users behind a login while still federating with its network.

[deadsuperhero@lemmy.world]

There is a PeerTube plugin for premium subscriptions that does exactly this: https://github.com/kontrollanten/peertube-plugin-premium-users

[povoq@slrpnk.net]

Not bad, but it is a bit limiting with Stripe only and the Stripe ToS forbidding a lot of common usecases.
