I’ve spent the last year every weekend creating a 2.5 hour block of tailored programming to recreate the experience of Saturday morning cartoons for my kid, with selections from ~60 of the best (and some bad) cartoons from the last several decades, animated music videos, unearthed funny old clips, and modern indie animations, often with seasonal themes.

My programming is (I think) objectively better than the Saturday morning block ever was, and it takes hours every week to gather clips, edit, and manage where we’re at with every show. I sometimes wish I could share it with a larger crowd. Do you know of a PeerTube instance that would be cool with hosting this kind of content? I’ve tried sharing this with friends and family via SyncThing, but they didn’t like it and it was a pain to help them troubleshoot all the time. It would be nice to have a platform for this work, even though I know it’s all mostly untenable from an IP standpoint.

    Wouldn’t jellyfin or Plex work better for this kind of content rather then PeerTube?

      Good note. I didn’t think Jellyfin would allow you to broadcast to strangers, which is the (admittedly piratical) idea here. I would also prefer to remain anonymous to avoid any legal entanglements, so that would be a consideration if I went that route.

        If those are your concerns then maybe jellyfin and Plex aren’t the right fit.

      That does look like it’d be worth a look for its own sake, but their TOS forbids the kind of content I’d be posting.

        Have you thought of perhaps hosting your own? If you are concerned about it.

        Yunohost has a pretty easy install of peertube. It works pretty well and you can even make videos private for your own family uses if need arises. Gl!

    If you’re putting pirated content on peertube you’re putting that server in danger. What is your goal? Just put it on some trackers.

      That’s what I was worried about, which is why I first searched and then asked around for a PeerTube instance focused on anonymous pirated content (never know your luck). I’m not here to get anyone into trouble they aren’t asking for.

      My ultimate dream would be to run a live broadcast like Schrab Home Video where everyone can watch together concurrently. I know that some people on Twitch play old cartoons (e.g. Puppet Jared’s Cartoon Dumpster) and I’m not sure how he gets away with it - and I wouldn’t really want to become a janky mocap virtual beggar if that’s what it takes.

      I don’t think this is really true as long as they’re complying with the DMCA. OP can upload stuff, it’ll stay up until someone notices and cares enough to send a takedown notice, and then the server host will take it down. In theory OP might be liable if they really wanted to push it, which maybe makes it not the best idea, but I think the server operator is in the clear as long as they take stuff down if it does get requested to.

      Thanks, I sent them an account request fully stating my intentions for them to consider. I’ll circle back with a link if this gets off the ground!

      I could do that too, but it wouldn’t be a viable way to put this in front of family and friends who are a bit dense around anything attached to a keyboard.
