I am not familiar w/ the tech here (specifically concerning live streaming vs on-disk), but one wonders if you can proxy YouTube over PeerTube to ease the transition. Would require live search backed by site scraping, ability to stream YouTube videos over BT/PeerTube on demand, etc.
Like youtube-dl but ephemeral, at least then content creators can dual host if they want. Or an easy-import feature. Or maybe just a combined user interface for clients so they don't have to switch back and forth.
- solarkraft 8y agoThis should be quite easy, indeed. The streams themselves can quite easily be extracted, but what you probably lose is what I find makes YouTube powerful: Recommendations. Of course we could just go back to a subscription feed. I don't really see significant technical blocks here.
