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.
Retroshare might be a good way to share it with specific family and friends.
I’ve never used it myself, but I’ve heard good things about ErsatzTV for this exact purpose.
That looks promising! Going to try
From the quick look at https://fedidb.com/software/peertube?version=latest&mature=1 the one that stands out as good enough is https://p.lu/
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!
Upvote for visibility. I’d subscribe to this channel
I’ve kept copies of all my editing work in OpenShot for the past year or so and it’s all pretty evergreen, so it would be pretty trivial to start consistently pumping out sequentially coherent broadcasts as soon as I’ve got a platform.
Also great username my friend.

I think torrents would be the way to go.
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.
I would definitely be interested in your work! Please let me know if it becomes viewable somewhere.
I’ll update everyone if it gets off the ground!
You could start an Owncast server and broadcast it there.
Looking into it!
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.
Makertube is a good one. It has a lot of family friendly content as well.
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!
I’ll look into that. Thanks!
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.
