If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

It's mainly finding videos for me. I've been able to find a few interesting ones, but largely it's either difficult to find, or not there at all. I myself have actually been considering making some videos to help the content drought, but then the ideas, or knowledge of what people could be receptive to doesn't quite come.

also as a newpipe user, being able to search all of my selected instances at once, or with sepiasearch could be nice, but thats not up to peertube

[tammytobacco@sh.itjust.works]

I thought about uploading videos, but I could never figure out how.

[torfdot0@lemmy.world]

Improve cross instance search and for more creators to move from other platforms

[povoq@slrpnk.net]

A custom bubble time-line like Akkoma has would be nice for Peertube indeed.

Liberapay is centralized but it is open source.

And you can use your browser to click that link...

[whyflip@lemmy.world]

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...

[kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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.

[ekzepp@lemmy.world]

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.
