@freeschool @staff @scambi @eticadigitale @kenobit @vbertola please note https://perrtube.uno has already disabled 1440p and 2160p which are totally useless on mobile devices and have huge enviromental costs.
Also having only one video version is saving a lot of resources due to users playing the same video version and sharing each other bandwith thanks to peertube p2p technology.
BTW 1080p can be easily played and recorded by the cheapest devices.
@undefined @staff @scambi @eticadigitale @kenobit @vbertola @filippodb PEERTUBE PEER-SHARING
USELESS / PEERS HARDLY USED?
(updated just for asking others)
The sharing is totally useless - like really useless in this context (here is my reasoning below)
- you need to be online playing at same time to use p2p video sharing to others ^^
- It's just a 7min short video in this case so people are gone before any can really share ^^
Maybe for 1hr movie it can help bandwidth or by chance 100's of people watching during the day to catch a peer, but not this
I think you're nice but don't trick yourself unless technically I miss how p2p works without any peers which is why I also open this to others as I'm happy when I'm wrong / miss something :)
You got my respect for replying. Not fighting you on it.
#peertube #p2p #bandwidth #video #sharing #unused <--- does work well with torrents in 'seed' mode though (seeds even when complete or when away from page) #torrent #sharing #filesharing
@freeschool @staff @scambi @eticadigitale @kenobit @vbertola sharing bandwith is not useless: on a instance with thousands video can save a lot of resourses and it won't go down if a single video get viral.
Big tech have won because let people think the resources are limitless and free.
Peertube instances run on small and cheap servers and can't scale easily: every bit saved is good.
But video served should also look as good as on Youtube on huge screens 😉
@filippodb @staff @scambi @eticadigitale @kenobit @vbertola
YES IF...
not in your case
or statistically almost all the other instance
bottom line you don't get that much hits
again that's for the potential - do try keep it real. I'm not saying it's bad - I am saying your projecting instead of practically just looking at your own numbers - though you never know you might get that many more and get lucky saving a few bits! Is good to have ability but I'd say people 'seeding' would be more worthwhile instead of a few kbs here and there
- this idea would be excellent as statistic for how many actually shared anything on your server and other such things like viewership totals (excluding hit and run number counts like 5mins watching minimum or patchy play / constant reloads).
