Some site updates

by

We’re in the process of upgrading to Debian 11 (bullseye). If you come across any issues, feel free to raise them on the -social IRC channel on oftc (also accessible via Matrix) and we’ll look into it as soon as we have a chance.

We’re aware that live streaming isn’t currently working on our PeerTube instance, we have had some issues with this relatively new feature before, although at the moment we seem to be affected by upstream issue #4390.

New PeerTube plugins

by

We’ve enable the following new plugins on peertube.debian.social:

auth-openid-connect

Upstream page: https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-openid-connect

This plugin allows authentication using salsa.debian.org. This will now be the preferred form of login, and we won’t create any further local accounts.

video-annotation

Upstream page: https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-video-annotation

This is a very new and basic annotations plugin, but it works.

To add annotations to your videos, go to the edit page for your video, click on Plugin settings and then you’ll be able to add annotations for the video.

The format is:

0 --> 10
Hello world, this is an annotation! And will be displayed in the first 10 seconds

10 --> 20
This annotation will display at the 10th second until the 20th second.

For more information and examples, visit the upstream page above.
