Support PeerTube videos #1

Open Genfood opened 11 months ago

Supporting video playback of PeerTube videos would be a great addition.

PeerTube videos are currently supported for in-line playback in the Posts feed, playback in individual posts and comments should be included in the next release.

PeerTube playback is disabled by default, but it can be enabled in Settings > Media Settings > Load Piped Videos, there are also settings to convert YouTube links to Piped, and choose which Piped instance to use for playback.

I'll leave this issue open until I have piped videos working in Posts and Comments.

Note: in feeds that have many Piped links, some of them may fail to load. This is because CloudFlair blocks the API requests when to many are sent in quick succession. I'm looking into a fix for this, but currently the best solution I had was to use load balancing and distribute requests to multiple Piped instances.

Isn't piped something else than PeerTube? For my understanding piped is a YouTube frontend and PeerTube is what Lemmy is for Reddit but for YouTube.

For this post: https://feddit.de/post/4341500

I just got a link preview: image

Piped is activated in the media settings.

But maybe I just don't understand what in-line playback means. 😅

Yes you are correct. I just mixed the two up. I will definitely look into supporting PeerTube.

I finally got around to implementing the PeerTube API in Arctic, I haven't activated it just yet though. Since PeerTube doesn't have a common url, I'll need to add support for adding custom domains for utilizing the PeerTube API. I should hopefully have this added in the next release.

Isn't it possible to detect if a domain is hosting peer tune instance or not by a request?
