Sadly I dont think i could make one but ive seen peertube and its a bit off feeling( i cant place why) but thought hey maybe those who can make something like that will see the post. (Also I would love to scare youtube with competition cause they freaking need it)
Ill start I NEED to be able to play audio on a Mobile device when the screen is turned off youtube makes you pay for that 1 line of freaking code! Heckin BS
needs to have a way to pay for itself. unlike text and image based systems I’m not sure that can reasonably done with just node ops doing it because they want or need it.
Incentivization structures, neutral (non-biased) public processing systems, and likely distribution of multiple system types (transcoders, processors, storage and edge).
There are some technologies that make this possible but nothing is fully built to purpose here yet.
If you happen to be on Android you should give NewPipe a try. It is an alternative client for YouTube and PeerTube as well. It supports managing playlists without login, downloads and background playback.
Not being overrun with guys in sunglasses telling me the Jews and Gays are hiding the flat earth from me would be a good start.
I run a PeerTube instance and the amount of people that try following my instance with exactly THAT type of content is… astonishing. It just seems like no PeerTube instance is properly moderated.
There are (from my subscriptions):
I need content and discoverability of content. PeerTube’s not really great in that regard.
its a bit off feeling(i cant place why) Probably because the web frontend is trash, but that’s tautologous. Install something like peertube-viewer-rs or one of the 50 android apps for it and ignore javashit. The real problem with peertube is the server side, it’s by far the most frustrating thing I maintain. Granted a decent portion of that is that it uses postgres, and postgres is an absolute clusterfuck of a thing to maintain. But peertube also fucks up its own permissions constantly, so that you can’t actually play videos… I put a script that runs daily to fix it, and it seems to have worked well enough.
I NEED to be able to play audio on a Mobile device when the screen is turned off Literally any non-retarded media player can do that. Of course, most media players expect the file to be read from local storage instead of remote. This is trivially arranged.
Honestly any fedi thing that supports videos is sufficient in general. Just post whatever random stuff you make on pleroma or lemmy or whatever.
I’d probably post quite a bit of content (music, etc) on a youtube alternative if I could expect it to not be copyright-striked. (and if anyone would watch it. The current PeerTube instances seem very barren.)
You would absolutely get DMCA takedowns. YouTube’s system is designed to allow copyrighted content without getting it completely removed.
