@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 😆

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

@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."

@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) 🤔

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

@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?

@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.

@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.

@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.

@amolith I'd love to only be paying for 19 domains 👀

Also, what are the odds? I'm setting up PeerTube right now, and it is my nightmare 🙃

@kmj what is terrible when *admining* matrix? Synapse, it’s a trash program written in Python that will be inefficient and slow no matter how many resources you throw at it.

@selea

@selea this is a very relatable rant. Matrix is terrible.

@marc0janssen nope. Only issues I can think of off the top of my head is the weather widget only seems to show Cupertino for me, and occasionally some apps will log me out randomly.

@maique @marc0janssen every time my phone reboots I get three Riot.im has crashed notifications which may have something to do with it. I’m also pretty sure I saw it reboot as soon as I got a notification from that app once, lol
