We have long URLs in PeerTube and we would like to have shorter ones (while keeping the old ones) in the client.

For videos: /v/:uuid (+ https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/534 but it requires more work)
For accounts: /a/:accountName
For channels: /c/:channelName

An additional route for actors (so accounts + channels) could also be created: /@:actorName

Thanks for creating this issue. I had this in mind for a very long time but forgot to post the issue.

@Chocobozzz accounts and channels URLs (with @:actorName) could be done in a different PR than the vidéos URLs?

kimsible commented 3 years ago

@Chocobozzz the shorter URLs for videos has been implemented or do you have a current work on this ?

@kimsible it has been implemented in a1eda903a497857017495f37a1fd3593ba7ab23c, and can be seen at work on peertube2.cpy.re

@kimsible it has been implemented in a1eda90, and can be seen at work on peertube2.cpy.re

Thanks it's great ! I noticed that /@:actorName doesn't work on peertube2.cpy.re, it redirects to the home, is it frozen ?
