@mewmew well I'm doing it with videos hosted behind Wasabi S3 and BunnyCDN instead of on local storage which is really the root of my problems. Can't seem to get playback functional for... some reason. Not a video playback expert.

@jonah ooh, I use BunnyCDN (and Minio).

You should use an nginx rule to redirect requests for the videos to your CDN domain.

@mewmew that is what I did I think... for a while I was getting CORS errors but that seems to have been fixed. Now in Safari (and Chrome I think) videos play for like a second and then I get a loading spinner (but I can see the video downloading in network requests and on the playback bar)... and in Firefox playback just doesn't start at all for seemingly no reason.

Thinking it is a transcoding issue now, still looking into it.

@jonah turn off p2p. PeerTube's p2p doesn't work very well.

@mewmew good to know.... that is unfortunate though. Do you know if that is just this setting, or is it something I need in the config file?

@jonah just that setting.

@mewmew is PeerTube just broken in Firefox? I can't play videos from remote instances (https://tube.privacytools.io/videos/watch/1b492629-1f2d-49a0-93ed-722b534b372d), or videos *on* other instances (https://peertube.social/videos/watch/ec68aef3-e224-4337-9398-84371944e4d2) 🤔

@jonah using Firefox right now, the first video has no problems (have not tried the second)

@mewmew same error for both videos, for Firefox on macOS for me: "The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support."

@jonah I have no idea, but it's a problem on your end. My Firefox deals with it perfectly fine.

@mewmew interesting, thanks, I'll go find another laptop...

@mewmew what I need to keep in mind is that I (stupidly) installed macOS 11 on my laptop. Looks like it's working on Firefox on a Windows machine — maybe I don't actually have any problems with PeerTube at all 😆

@amolith domains? I found it is best (mentally) to not count but if I had to guess... ~50?

Very cool. I don't know what kind of videos I am going to host yet. I basically set this up to be able to follow other people, and to setup video replication to help with the bandwidth of some other instance admins I know. PeerTube's video 'redundancy' setup seems pretty nifty.

@jonah Whew. Why so many?

The replication feature is definitely something we're going to be looking into

@amolith because I am a domain hoarder. Let me know once your instance is up, I'll replicate your videos :p
