I like making videos from family holidays and events and such, and I obviously don’t want to put that on YouTube.
So I’d like to host something to upload these videos to, and then share links with family.
Is PeerTube the thing for this?
Looking for something lightweight and not too complicated.
Yep that’s what I do in my videos website but then you don’t get automatic bitrate selection so videos can take quite long to load. I tried to setup peertube but it was such a hassle that I gave up.
What are you trying to play? Most internet connections should play 1080p instantly.
If the browser has to download the entire video before playing, the video isn’t being transcoded properly. Might need flags like
-movflags +faststart
