@NGIZero @nlnet Thank you very much for your great software.

We have one channel with audio only content using mp3 for uploading. Is there a good way of deploying an MP3 podcast feed URL to use with a podcast app?

@bun @NGIZero @nlnet Hi,

Every channel has a podcast feed: peertube2.cpy.re/feeds/podcast…

You can find it in the channel page: peertube2.cpy.re/c/beeldengelu…

Then "Subscribe" -> "Subscribe via RSS". You need to add `/podcast/` after `/feed` in URL

@NGIZero @nlnet Thank you. Subscribing worked. :)

But playback didn't.

Feed-URL contains an m3u8 file with this content: #EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=756240,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25,CODECS="avc1.64001e,mp4a.40.2"
8e2f886a-7d11-4088-8014-b3421f6c0b6d-480.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=5141230,RESOLUTION=1920x1080,FRAME-RATE=25,CODECS="avc1.640028,mp4a.40.2"
46917e6d-96f8-44e6-96c2-6efc08996700-1080.m3u8
I expected an mp3 file.

No, not “platform”! An instance should be a “tube”! A user should add a “tube” to access channels (other than their “tube”). Add more tubes to get more channels. PeerTube is so creator centric that as a user you feel left behind. I want to create a user (new or with fedi account) in a “tube”, subscribe to my preferred channels, add more tubes (in the settings), subscribe to more channels and get my homepage with my subscriptions, like YT. That’s what I want as a user.

I get what you guys are going for and fully support the intent, but “platform” isn’t going to make more sense to non-fedi people than “instance”, it’s just as vague to someone new to the concept

Have you considered just saying “server”? Not joking at all, you could say “it’s like Minecraft, anyone can run their own server” and the concept will immediately translate to a HUGE number of people

Coming up with a new name feels like a “there are now 15 standards” problem

@EngiQueering @PeerTube Indeed. If I hear platform, I think of entirely difference services. Facebook, Dreamwidth, and Twitter are all different platforms, meant for different ways of communicateing. Mastodon, Friendica, and Diaspora are different sites, but they can communicate with each other and are linked in the Fediverse. I know nothing about Mindcraft, but the idea of servers is familiar to me and yes, when I started out, it would have made more sense to just call them that rather than instances.

@dandylover1 I fully agree about the use of the term "instance" rather than "server", and I wholeheartedly agree that "platform" is the term people use when talking about a service as a whole. I would even go as far as to say that the Peertube network of servers *is* a platform, just a decentralized one. Calling every server a "platform" is going to be more confusing than helpful for new users, in my opinion.

@engiqueering @dandylover1 Hi and thanks for the feedback. We chose the "platform" term after interviews and design study with users that don't know PeerTube very well, or don't know it at all. We understand that experienced users may not like it as we already have "instance" or "server", but we want to try another method with non-experienced users that are still confused about the fediverse aspect of PeerTube.
Of course if it doesn't work we'll rollback :)

Looks great at first sight, although I really hate the colour orange. Don't forget that that colour here in the so called Netherlands is affiliated with the monarchy.

Awesome to see renewed prioritization towards accessibility! The changes feel a little weird on mobile, particularly how much of the visual height is taken up by the navigation buttons + search bar now and also how the banners look on profile pages, but with all changes come growing pains. Just started my long overdue recurring donation, and I'm excited to see where this all goes!!!
