• Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
  • If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.

PeerTube is an experimental decentralized federated video platform system that uses peer-to-peer technology to reduce load on individual servers. The project recently met its crowdfunding goal for Deluxe v1 (due for official release in October 2018). It is FLOSS (Free, Libre and Open-Source Software) developed by the French non-profit Framasoft.

PeerTube is a software anyone can install on a server, to get a data-friendly video-hosting platform, called a PeerTube Instance. PeerTube combines:
  • A free-libre license, that guarantees code transparency and legally allows you to use and contribute to the software;
  • A federation system, to widen the audience of the videos you host by syncing your instance with the ones you choose to (within the federation);
  • Peer-to-peer streaming, to make streaming resilient and fast when a video goes viral.
Is there a way we can embed PeerTube videos into posts, with the forum's markdown?
Furthermore, would a Fanedit.org instance be something worth looking into? I imagine it would be an excellent alternative to individual faneditors locking their videos into the privacy settings of YouTube and Vimeo. Somewhere that all fanedits and fanedit related videos can be hosted in one place.

If there is interest in it I could take a look and see if it can/how it would be done.

Ignoring the streaming of copyright content, something FE.org won't be involved in, it really comes down to cost. Very few users donate to help offset the cost of the site as-it-is, and this is mostly text and graphics. If you add feature length films to the mix that's a lot of additional storage and bandwidth required thus resulting in a much higher cost. I don't think any of the admin want to spend their own money on something like this.
