Except they still need to implement peer to peer mechanism for that HTML5 video player somehow. It kind of defeat the purpose of PeerTube if it doesn’t implement that mechanism for peering as a network load balancing for the server. I don’t think it’s quite their goal in mind to have server handle all of the network load which isn’t practical on the cloud computing market today and situation that various ISP imposed bandwidth caps for no reason.
Peertube uses P2P? As in your computer uploads parts of the video to other users as you watch it? Actually didn’t wasn’t aware of that since most P2P software tells you that it uses your device for uploading when you first open it.
I know this comment is a couple of months old now, but just getting caught up on this community today. If you haven’t had a chance, I would recommend having a look at https://joinpeertube.org/ and the section “About peer-to-peer broadcasting and watching”. Heck, maybe all the sections? Peertube has a pile of excellent things going on under the hood.
Would understand their users better if they made it work without JS though.
Default HTML5 Video player for the win.

I mean, I guess that’s why it’s called Peertube?
