I couldn't load the article. I was getting a nginx error initially. I'm able to view now. I think they were getting a bit squeezed.

Isn't this what https://webtorrent.io/ is?
memet_rush · a year ago

What do you mean by never caught on? It's 'live' at https://joinpeertube.org/ where you can either go to https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content and put something into that search form, or limit that search to specific 'instances' under https://joinpeertube.org/instances

Or to get back to your original question: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/create-upload-video

edit: Your'e not limited to these addresses, for one there are other instances, for another you can selfhost your own, if your'e into that.

Technically that is one of many possible solutions, 'ready to roll' right now.

addit: Regarding sustainability, and who is behind it, maybe https://framasoft.org/en/ would be of interest?

With sports streams you specifically want low lag, don’t you? It’s no fun being spoilered by people cheering (or not) next door.
memet_rush · a year ago
i wouldn't mind a minute of lag tbh if the quality and reliability was better. I'm pay $20 a month for dazn and it still lags and buffers lol

Isn't that what multicast is for?
memet_rush · a year ago
i guess but im thinking like multicast with the people sharing like bittorrent, just live. so you'd need to factor in people leaving and people leeching

looks interesting! surprised something like that never caught on. I looking for something like Twitch basically. It has really good quality and is live. But obviously Twitch is just losing money and using all Amazons resources so I wanted to see if there's a more sustainable p2p approach

People have tried to build BitTorrent clients to do this. As far as I know they never took off. The primary problem is you oftentimes don't get people who want to share back or who have firewalls or other connections that don't allow them to share back. So you end up with a few people who end up seeding everything out. The second problem is in order to watch a streaming protocol things need to arrive in order. It is totally possible to do with BitTorrent and request the blocks in the order that you want but you may not always be able to get them in the order you want.

In general people aren't tolerant of lag and spinning circles and other such things when they're trying to watch streaming content. If you're fine with just watching it a little bit later might as well queue it up and left the whole thing down load so it's ready when you're ready.

memet_rush · a year ago
what about having something reasonable for lag, like 30-60 seconds would that make a big difference or you think it would just eventually degrade too? Also do you think there's any way you can prioritize seeders in such a protocol? like some kind of algorithm that the more you share the more you're prioritized in getting the most up to date packets.

The main reason I would think it would be useful is 1. since streaming sites seem to lose a lot of money and 2. sports streams are really bad, even paid ones. I have dazn and two other sports streaming services and they still lag and are only 720p
