Peers.watch - Stylish & shareable Tardigrade media player

Ideas & Suggestions
1

Hey, everyone,

I’m here to share a small personal project I’ve been working on for a few weeks that could be useful for the community.

When I came to know Tardigrade (Storj) I’ve immediately decided to move my media server to it but want an easier way to access it anywhere, also being able to add subtitles, what led me to customize a HTML player.

With this ready, and willing to help others with the same problem, I’ve created peers.watch.

It’s essential feature is: given a Tardigrade media link it’ll give you a good looking HTML player, shareable - and embedable - link.

For better quality you can watch the above video in peers.watch: https://peers.watch/#/t/juddsjuj6ibt2342cgngapmy3qsa%2Fpeers-watch%2Fintroduction.mp4

Also you can watch December Storj Town Hall: https://peers.watch/#/t/s%2Fjvgihxcuwlxv2o26duuiohfbk6ya%2Ftownhalls%2FDecember%25202020%2520Town-Hall.mp4

Hope it helps you sharing any kind of video content and moving your media servers to Tardigrade :grinning:

Would like to highlight the support given by @jocelyn throughout the development of this.

Feel free to share your opinions and feedbacks!

When you think of cloud storage do you
0:00:03.000,0:00:06.000
think of a few data centers, or do you
0:00:06.000,0:00:08.000
imagine something more like this? With
0:00:08.000,0:00:10.000
Tardigrade, files are encrypted. split
0:00:10.000,0:00:13.000
into smaller pieces, then distributed on
0:00:13.000,0:00:14.000
a massive global network of
0:00:14.000,0:00:16.000
decentralized nodes. Which is why
0:00:16.000,0:00:19.000
Tardigrade is secure by default with
0:00:19.000,0:00:21.000
more consistent performance, all at a
0:00:21.000,0:00:23.000
fraction the costs of the centralized
0:00:23.000,0:00:25.000
cloud storage providers. Free the cloud
0:00:25.000,0:00:27.000
and upgrade your storage layer to
0:00:27.000,0:00:30.000
Tardigrade - the future of cloud storage

The peers watch introduction video (link) wouldn’t load on my Android phone. The Town Hall one did.

You sure about that one? I think a single subtitle would literally be one line.
I checked a view local players as well as youtube and netflix and they all refer to it as disabling/enabling subtitles.

Had the same issue. Both work fine on desktop though.

I thought it as adding single file not multiple files which would mean I removed 1 file hence singular removal.

Now I have this dilemma about caption & subtitle. As subtitle translates it to a language other than shown in the media while caption transcribes it.

Thank you all for your inputs, I will be improving the experience for mobile users and double-check if Firefox and other commonly used browsers are working as expected.

Captions would probably be more generic than subtitles, I will consider. Thanks!
