I upgraded to v8.1.3 this morning which fixed several bugs, and in the process I also enabled live streaming.

As part of the version upgrade, channels can also now have more than one owner/collaborator.

Edit: I also installed the livechat plugin

Mad respect. Legitimately though, how tf are you handling the hosting expenses? Surely this can’t be cheap.

I've been leaching from my middle class parents. It's been about $500 a month lately. 🥹 I'm a student right now and my mom has been generous but my dad would flip if he saw the bills. I need to do a fundraising drive but I've been procrastinating it. I could do some things to reduce the expenses if it becomes unsustainable.

Do the fundraising drive! I bent the mods would even sticky it.

Wild. I have no idea if this will get use but that's some impressive functionality.

is there a way to use the live streaming feature to stream videos hosted on tankie tube itself, like what cytube does?

btw i appreciate what you've made 🫡 will be pitching in a few bucks per month on the liberapay for tankie tube even if there's no way to do what i'm asking

I think that depends on the broadcast software. Although a clunky solution, it looks like you can do that with OBS Studio by sharing your browser screen. I have the livechat plugin for TankieTube installed.

Edit: Oh cool! There is an OBS plugin for doing just this:

I couldn't get this to work yet, but I only looked at it briefly.

Also @CARCOSA@hexbear.net would it be possible to get a Tankietube community? Maybe even a Hextube one? This is something I'd like to try in the future when I have more time.

[–] CARCOSA@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago

Could you make a post in !commrequest@hexbear.net also are you interested in moderating the community?

as a youtube avoider I'm always so impressed with TankieTube's performance and quality when someone links a video on there. it's so good!

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago
