Hive-Tube v8.3 Released!

What is Hive-Tube?

Hive-Tube is a free server plugin that integrates any peertube server in the world with Hive and there are thousands of them. It's the fastest and easiest way for streaming media sites to get their content monetized, and syndicated via RSS, Hive communities and the Fediverse network.

No other streaming platform in the world offers this level of Syndication, time-tested decentralization, P2P streams, monetization, user retention & interactivity.

Combined Hive-Tube & server core updates in v8.3..

IMPORTANT NOTES

Removed nodejs 14 support from all Hive-Tube instances
Updated all nginx configs to support new remote transcode workers
Added storage.tmp_persistent directory in config. Config production.yaml
Updated Docker Compose

Maint. & Docker

Removed npm run create-transcoding-job and npm run print-transcode-command unmaintained scripts
Added Redis sentinel support for custom installs
Utilized improved upgrade script combined with our Hive-Tube rss features patch v6:
Auto-gen a config/production.yaml.new file after the upgrade, which binds the new peertube config keys and the current production.yaml. Replaced old yaml with this new file so adding new keys manually isn't necessary anymore
Made the db name configurable using env variable

NEW FEATURES 🚀

Implemented Hive-monetized remote transcode workers (aka: "runners")
- If enabled on the Hive-Tube site (like Cast.Garden, VigilanteTV, BeeToonsTV, etc), you can automatically earn $HIVE by contributing some of your unused CPU time to their media file transcoding tasks
Added support for Podcasting 2.0 Certified RSS feeds
Edited all Subscribe buttons so that our new Certified RSS is promoted
Added custom privacy settings for livestream replays
Added more admin features to the back-end dashboard
Added additional Hive block explorers to Hive-Tube /about pages
Got rid of that scary peertube tab on the /about page as it was making people scared of being hacked if they accessed P2P streams
Much improved worldwide accessibility, syndication and Hive post discoverability through search page algorithm

Bugs Squashed 🪲

Fixed our encryption issue with Minio so that remote seeders do not get locked out again due to key changes
Fixed livestream object storage sync which resulted in broken playback on ios
Implemented filter to not show already watched media from recommended
Added exception prevention when HTTP headers are sent already
Added links fix on instance /about (followers) pages
Fixed that annoying loading-spinner that appeared on top of videos in Chrome browser
Fixed the fps transcoding on remote transcode workers
Improved error handling when updating a livestream during the live
Replaced the way Hive-Tube is installed so that it seeks our patches when available
Got rid of the missing plugin CSS file error during server startup
Added support for Subscribing with a remote account that has the @ symbol in front
Account and channel url's are now case-insensitive
Fixed a ton of broken and non-abstracted css variables and color codes etc and put all definitions into our own css include so that now they can all be edited in one place
Fixed Hive and peertube user notifications. Made it full-duplex (2-way) with the Hive chain so now if you check notifs on a different Hive front-end, your notifs on the streaming site will update immediately as well. Much better UX now 💪
Fixed the auto-transcriptions (it's now disabled by default for english, spanish, etc) and also the subtitles import tool
Implemented alphabetical sorting of the languages selector
Added a ton of cleanup code for lower resource use at the server
Fixed the overflow issue with video channels' quick filter (that cool little menu in the top-right corner for advanced searches)
Fixed the Hive community selector so that when you switch between tabs on your video/podcast edit screen, it will remember which community you have selected even before you submit your changes
