@feditips @jarocats of course, but in practice it doesn't work like that because most videos aren't p2p and it is being deprecated. Also for peertube to work well you need to transcode to various resolutions as well and that needs a heck of a lot of hardware. You cannot paper over the facts that producing and running a decent peertube instance needs a substantial investment, and I know I have tried. You rarely get any help from others watching as the traffic simply isn't there

@jarocats @feditips regarding servers/instances then the issue with peertube is it needs a high level of hardware and decent bandwidth with all the costs that go with it meaning some sort of revenue is needed. Also if you want a Mastodon instance you can't go wrong with the mastodon.social one as that will always be around (well as long as Mastodon is)

@dansup I can't seem to upgrade the android app. Any ideas?

@pfefferle @Pattyagray @jeremy Hi indeed. I get that and only want to help but also understand WP is a bit of a sprawl right now through nobody's fault

@pfefferle @mattwiebe still half assed though bu auttomatic. Better plugins exist that let you choose an already existing account rather than adding another wordpress account to the millions already out there with an obscure name

@dansup here's hoping it is groups!

@dansup Hamburger Helper!

@feditips @yunohost of course, but owncast is fairly limited as well. I have overseen hundreds of livestreams and the platforms at the moment are all over the place. Not wanting to get into an argument about it but they are all crying out to move to newer ways. Youtube has just made a huge set of changes that owncast and the others need to do really. If Peertube gets on the rtmp enhanced bandwagon it would be awesome. I have a peertube instance ad 3dctube.3dcandy.social btw...

@feditips @yunohost only issue with peertube via yunohost is that several of the options are not enabled by default. Also livestreaming really doesn't work well with PT under YH due to how YH works....

@feditips with 5.2 it's a lot lot better, but you need powerful hardware and servers to run an instance well....

@dansup YAY! webrtc would be good as well. Excited now

@dansup really hope you impliment srt or rist ingest. Game changer that would be rather than poor old rtmp(s)

@Gargron Welcome to the UK and welcome to the best way to use a sink! Once you get used to it you won't go back....

@dansup of course they are. They are blocking alot of fediverse hashtags because they can't afford to lose people

@Mastodon where can I see what is coming/planned please?

@Mrfunkedude just to add, here is the proof of how a humble poor mobile hotspot can be used to livestream a 1080p50 stream to youtube with an automatic push. I can't control the quality of the source of course, but zero dropped frames and streamed to youtube via hls with backup stream means the quality is pretty damn good

@Mrfunkedude whilst I understand going for a restream service, I personally actually use a cloud/vps server and install mist server. Literally have your own streaming server to do what you want with it.... much better (for me anyhoo). Of course, no chat etc. is captured.... but it will go up to 4k easily on a $5 a month vps and you have totall control. I use it to stream from a mobile hotspot via srt and then to youtube via an automagic push

@caseynewton what is Twitter? I see no need to mention that site on here at all....

@Gargron that's quite slow - I have found other hosts to be better, but I guess if that's what you are used to etc.
Onwards and upwards!

@Gargron cos idiot boy Musk bought Twitter ;)
