- treyd 3y agoOh that's fantastic! I hope this is supported on the new HLS-only streaming system.
- errhead 3y agoHLS has been the default system for years, and yes, it works perfectly.
- corobo 3y agoAye! The way I used it when tinkering with Peertube (not making the content to make it worth keeping things going yet) was to set up secondary Peertube servers dedicated to this function to spread the load across multiple servers rather than use the p2p side of things - I wasn't sure of the GDPR implications of p2p It worked really well at least at the small scale I was testing with :)
