PeerTube crowdfunding newsletter #4

Hello everyone!

We are now in mid-October! As promised, we have just released the first stable version of PeerTube.

It implements all stretch goals we planned in our crowdfunding:

Localization support (as we write these lines, PeerTube is already available in 13 different languages!)
Subtitles support
Ability to import videos through an URL (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and many others!)
Ability to import a video through a torrent file or a magnet URI
RSS feeds, allowing you to track new videos published in all federated PeerTube instances, in a specific PeerTube instance or in a video channel you like. You can also subscribe to comment feeds!
A more relevant search, with the ability to set advanced filters (duration, category, tags...)
Subscriptions throughout the federation: you can follow your favorite video channels and see all the videos on a dedicated page
Redundancy system: a PeerTube instance can help sharing some videos from another instance

We know that feature descriptions are not very amusing, so we have published a few demonstration videos:

This is the last newsletter regarding the PeerTube crowdfunding. We would like to thank you one more time, for allowing us to greatly improve PeerTube, and therefore to promote a more decentralized web. But the journey does not end here: we will continue to work on the software, and there is still a lot to do to fully free up video streaming. But before anything, we'll take a few days off ;)

We remind you that you can ask questions on the PeerTube forum. You can also contact us directly on https://contact.framasoft.org.

Cheers,
Framasoft
