      @imc67 @girish I just tried to use the CLI tools but got an error they are not installed, can you please install them or can we do it ourselves and is that persistent?

          @imc67 I thought the CLI was something that we install on the desktop and not the server itself? Are you looking to automate something via the CLI + cron ? That might need some specialized package support. Let me know your use case so I can fix up the package accordingly.

            @girish I was thinking about this for example: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/maintain-tools?id=peertube-import-videosjs

            It must be possible to install it on a different server but it's rather download 1TB of YT videos to 'a server' and upload it again to the PeerTube app. That's why I thought about having CLI in the app.

            There is also an example of Cron jobs, is that possible in the app?

              @imc67 I wonder if we should talk to the upstream project on providing CLI as a separate release package. There is some discussion at https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/2347 . Should we leave a note there and see what he says?

                I managed to get the CLI installed but installing plugins is still a mystery. This is because the CLI can only be installed by cd into the CLI workdir. And then to install it has to somehow install into the release package. Not sure how this is done.

                  Hi @girish , I discovered PeerTube since it was announced here and was very enthusiastic because it fits in our needs. However during the past 6 weeks I'm beginning to loose faith in this project.

                  The project has a very slow "beat", they write they have only 1 (paid) developer. We had to wait 5 weeks to get an essential bug (not able to config) solved. After your last update it looked fine and I started to setup everything but then discovered a "stupid" bug again: videos don't play on iPad (https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/2941)! The developer knows this for at least 3 weeks but there seems no investigation/progress. Most of our viewers use iPad so we can't start (again) ...
                  There is also a very annoying issue that themes are alternating switching during browsing, so 1 click you're in dark mode and the next one in light mode (https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/3007). Beside that there are 350 other open issues ...

                  I spent hours to find an alternative (I know Cloudron always have two apps of the same "kind") and found: https://platform.avideo.com/AVideo_OpenSource (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/blob/master/README.md) I will create an App request with this info.

                  Kind regards,

                  Marcel.

                              @girish I uploaded (via YT URL) 1 video just to test. Then discovered the, for us blocking issues and since then waiting for the update.

                              However, I remember that importing a YT playlist by URL didn’t seem to work (nothing happened). So I really prefer a build in CLI to do this.

                                  @imc67 Noted 😄 I will get to this next week though since we are rolling out 5.6 this week. But I am very interested in getting that app to stable state asap.

                                    Also interested in the cli to be able to relaunch transcoding jobs

                                    example :
                                    sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- --generate-hls -v c249320b-5263-4b2b-b1e8-14d07403079c

                                        @imc67 I pushed a new package with youtube-dl and the CLI installed. Do you require the cron support?

                                          I tried (in the 0.7 version) the following command:

                                          sudo -u root NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run create-transcoding-job -- -v b8b791eb-9e38-4c4f-b797-0347662bb45f
                                          

                                          but this error returns:

                                          sudo: npm: command not found
                                          

                                          Is the path in the command ok?

                                            peertube as many other apps should ideally run with the cloudron user, so maybe try that user instead of root.

                                                Ah sudo apparently does not carry over the env bits for this. So instead use gosu cloudron:cloudron npm ... that should do.

                                                    NODE_CONFIG_DIR is already properly set in the environment pointing to /app/code/server/config so remove that from your commandline.

                                                              it seems to work here :

                                                              and transcoding works too :

                                                              the "solution" is to disable HLS

                                                              Requires ffmpeg >= 4.1

                                                              Generate HLS playlists and fragmented MP4 files resulting in a better playback than with the current default player:

                                                              Resolution change is smoother
                                                              Faster playback in particular with long videos
                                                              More stable playback (less bugs/infinite loading)
                                                              

                                                              If you also enabled WebTorrent support, it will multiply videos storage by 2

                                                                @rmdes HLS seems to be messy.

                                                                is ffmpeg not >=4.1 by default?

                                                                does HLS being enabled mean the fragmented MP4 and original are in place? That already means 2x the original.

                                                                What is it about WebTorrent that 2x that even more?

                                                                    when I follow the doc here : https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/peertube/ to import a video from cli
                                                                    I get

                                                                    the shell returns this :

                                                                      peertube auth :

                                                                      add [options] remember your accounts on remote instances for easier use
                                                                      del <url> unregisters a remote instance
                                                                      list lists registered remote instances
                                                                      set-default <url> set an existing entry as default
                                                                      help [command] display help for command

                                                                      Examples:

                                                                      $ peertube auth add -u https://peertube.cpy.re -U "PEERTUBE_USER" --password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD"
                                                                      $ peertube auth add -u https://peertube.cpy.re -U root
                                                                      $ peertube auth list
                                                                      $ peertube auth del https://peertube.cpy.re
                                                                      

                                                                      When I try to use it, I get this :
