Hello #Fediverse,
as #FOSDEM 2026 is approaching I was thinking about bridging the livestreams to #PeerTube as well.
Streams are under #CreativeCommons license that allows sharing videos, so there is no big deal in it.
As there are plenty of rooms (and we dibs Social Web for #VHSky 😀 ), it would be fun to coordinate streaming accross multiple instances to stream as much rooms as possible without overloading single instance.
What do you think, anybody interested?
Also, anybody has idea how to actually bridge m3u to PeerTube? @j4n3z maybe?

in reply to Fedi.Video • •Thank you for boosting. I managed to push the playlist to PeerTube using ffmpeg, so that's no big deal.
Now we need instance admins to get stuff ready and federate 😀
I'd say we can do 3-4 rooms.

in reply to Schmaker • •I could use quite few boosts to reach some more #PeerTube admins. Whoever can host even one livestream might be handy.
There is 480p stream available for those worrying about system resources.

in reply to Schmaker • •Also - feel free to federate our FOSDEM channel to your #PeerTube instance in case you want these stream appear for your users 😀
