We're excited to release version 7.1 of PeerTube, which continues to evolve graphically, but also to simplify your discoverability! Let's take a closer look. Redesign of 'About' pages Thanks to the work of La Cooperative des Internets, the "About" pages of the platforms have been redesigned to make them even clearer and easier to access, with information such as a description of the platform, the terms of use, some key figures, the main rules in clear sentences, etc. We've had a lot of positive feedback and hope you like it too! Before redesign Before redesign After redesign After redesign Better platform identification The concept of platform federation is not always easy to explain, so why not take it one step at a time? That's what this new video component does by highlighting the address of the platform where the video is hosted. Clicking on it gives you an explanation of where the video comes from and you can get more information, such as seeing all the videos hosted on the remote platform. [peertube7_] Your PeerTube content as a podcast Podcasts are a very popular way of consuming content, so it's important to make them easy to distribute. PeerTube was already compatible with Podcast 2.0, which brings new features (transcription, chaptering, etc.) to the world of podcasts. Version 7.1 improves support for Podcast 2.0, allowing users to subscribe to channels and play the video audio stream (if available) using classic podcast applications (AntennaPod, Podverse, etc.). In addition, this new version also makes the podcast feed compatible with Apple Podcast, allowing content creators who have correctly added a banner, avatar and description to their channel to submit their podcast feed to Apple. Revised views The new view protocol, which increases the number of simultaneous viewers by reducing the number of messages sent to the federation, is now enabled by default. We talked about this in the stress test we ran on PeerTube in December 2023 (it's a bit technical). Verification on Mastodon Mastodon's micro-blogging software allows you to link your accounts to certify them. This allows you to say on your profiles 'This account is also mine! It's now possible to do this for channels and PeerTube platforms! To do this, add the link Follow me on Mastodon! (replace https:// my-mastodon-instance/@profile with your actual Mastodon profile link) to the description section of your channel and/or profile. Administrators can do the same from their homepage settings. Playback stability We worked hard to update p2p-media-loader, the library that allows PeerTube to run P2P in the video player, to improve the stability of the player, especially for live streams configured in 'low latency' mode! It's certainly less visible work, but it's something we're proud of because it really improves the user experience. Many thanks to the developers of this library who have done a great job! And much, much more! As always, we're only highlighting some of the improvements to the software, but you can find the full list of changes made by the community in the changelog!
