    Congrats! That’s really great. Password-protected videos have been a top requested feature for a while! The storyboard will definitely improve scrubbing experience, and chapters the viewing experience.
    Big release!

    My only wish is that they support sharing bandwidth without having to host a peertube instance. The idea is on their page https://ideas.joinpeertube.org/posts/26/allow-third-parties-to-contribute-bandwidth but for some reason, it’s not important to them. I have multiple VPSes each with a few GBs and unlimited bandwidth that I’d happily share, but can’t.

    What’s even worse, they are removing the possibility to share bandwidth without hosting a peertube instance:

    We needed to settle a technical debt : v6 removes support for WebTorrent to focus on HLS (with WebRTC P2P). Both are technical bricks used to get peer-to-peer streaming in web browsers, but HLS is more fitted to what we are doing (and plan to do) with PeerTube

    I wouldn’t want to be a peertube instance admin…
