PeerTube, the decentralized and open-source alternative to video broadcasting services such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitch, has launched its version 6. This comes after only two minor versions were released, with PeerTube 5.2 launched in June and PeerTube 5.1 in March.

The 5.1 version introduced an “asking for an account” feature, a “back-to-live” button, and enhanced the authentication plugin. The 5.2 version improved RSS feeds, added an option to set livestream replay privacy, enhanced mouse-free navigation, and notably, introduced a remote transcoding feature.

The latest release, PeerTube v6, provides users with the ability to password-protect videos, a new video storyboard feature (to preview videos on mouse hover), and the option to upload a new version of a video (to correct or update it, for example). It also introduces video chapters among other features.

In addition to these new features, PeerTube v6 has removed WebTorrent to focus on HLS, and features an enhanced video player. It also comes with improved SEO and accessibility, along with a host of other changes, improvements, and bug fixes. Finally, PeerTube has conducted stress tests and provided performance and configuration recommendations for its live-streaming feature.

What are the best Peertube channels? I really want to try to explore it as much as I can

Not a specific channel, but. definitely recommend browsing the instance fedi.video/, since they only include accounts that "run responsibly and create good videos". You don't even have to create an account, you can just discover channels there and follow them via Mastodon or Friendica or whatever it is you want to use.

The real question is: "What are the best PT instances?".

I almost forgot about this... here's a list of tons of good active accounts by the absolute legend, @FediFollows :

Interesting, I really want peertube to succeed but it has so many pain points

Care to elaborate?

Thanks for the post, I upgraded it and it looks nice, especially the story board and the chapters I like.
