Available release of a decentralized platform for video hosting and video broadcasting PeerTube 3.0 . PeerTube offers a vendor-independent alternative to YouTube, Dailymotion and Vimeo, using a content distribution network based on P2P communications and linking visitors’ browsers. Developments of the project are distributed under the AGPLv3 license.
A key innovation in PeerTube 3.0 is support for live streaming with delivery content in P2P mode. Typical programs such as OBS can be used to manage streaming. The viewing delay relative to the source is from 30 to 60 seconds. Depending on the power of the equipment, PeerTube can provide processing of hundreds of simultaneous views on one server (it does not scale up to thousands yet, but they promise to fix it).
For server owners, settings for administering streaming are provided. Two modes are supported – short-lived and permanent. The first allows replay by unique ID and saving the video, while the second allows only viewing the current state, like in Twitch.
