It would be awesome if you could directly support Peertube instances with your player. It is a great opensource platform, but it is missing commercial features that your player could add. It could bring a new group of users to you. https://joinpeertube.org/ https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html

Hello Steve,
I see they offer an iframe-based API for video playback, so it’s similar to YouTube: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-embed-player
Do you have your own instance of PeerTube running or would you like to embed videos from https://framatube.org/ like for example https://framatube.org/w/kkGMgK9ZtnKfYAgnEtQxbv ?
Are you interested in protecting these videos against unauthorized access too?
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks for your interest! I will be spinning up a new server later today. I will be happy to make you an admin so you will have full access to upload etc. I will also upload test videos to play.
Is there a way to DM you directly the credentials?
Hello Steve,
thank you, for now we will work on supporting the existing instances: https://joinpeertube.org/instances
What would be the reason to have your own Peertube instance and then post videos from it to a WordPress website?
Thanks,
Martin
There are 1,000’s of unfederated instances out there. Peertube is very easy to spin up with docker. Corporate installs using it internally also. We have several clients that want to use Peertube as their “Video CMS” but want a custom site to display content, Sell PPV and VOD, and add the ability to add VAST to the content. This is what I think you could bring to the table. I have a test instance (with s3 and CDN) that I can make you an admin if you would like at any time.
You need to be an admin to get access to the API token.
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the push in the right direction.
We’re keen to support Peertube. If you can find us five unfederated Peertube customers who have bought FV Player Pro and VAST, we are happy to add support for unfederated instances.
Heck – if you are willing to invest in $400 yourself in this improvement, we’ll make sure it works on your domain, include a single VAST license and credit you in the development log for the feature.
Thanks for being part of Foliovision!
HMMM, the $400 offer sounds interesting. Ver 5 was just released with some nice fixes that will help our customers.
I will think about this.Thanks for your interest, I think providing Peertube users with monetization would be a big deal.
I will be in touch!
I appreciate it Steve. We’d loved to get these issues solved for you and by extension other Peertube users. When you’re ready, let’s get this done.
I am wondering what features could be in this. Since we could get full API access, can we see/select videos from the Plugin/CMS? Without having to get the URL from the instance manually? Retrieving the metadata, captions etc?
Steve, we’d definitely pick up the metadata and captions where possible. Via API would make it much easier. Selecting via a selection screen should work but it will generally be easier to add videos via URL from the target site, but then pick up the metadata, captions, etc. via API.
I.e. our Vimeo implementation allows picking the videos from our backend but usually I just past the Vimeo URL into the editor.
Just wanted to touch base. I am very interested in this. I have had another project that I have to work on come up. I will be back to this the end of next week.
Thanks!
