Very cool release, I was wondering if those stats aren’t a privacy problem though? How does Peertube collect them?
Well viewers by country would require an external service in order to be reliable to my knowledge. I think it’s possible to anonymize while also retaining the portion needed for origin lookup.
Everything else seems fairly trivial since you connect to the instance and they send you data. It can all be metricized based off data sent, rewinds/skips (in the case of audience engagement), simultaneous connections/peers, etc. There’s probably multiple ways to obtain this data really and I’m glad they are getting it! Pretty minor data that has a lot of use to creators in exchange for using the service is a-okay for me but that’s just my opinion.
I found some more detail in the github for how they check view count, could probs find more if you dug around:
Thank you for your kind answer!

I think a simple video editor is only an enhancement. All it does is let you add watermarks, change start/end time and add an additional video intro. All of these really surround content protection and legal liabilities.
Seems like the feature could also save admins some overhead by swapping bandwidth for re-uploads to CPU power for transcoding. If there’s ways to limit how often videos can be edited or allow admins to shut it off with a toggle that would be ideal.
First of all, it’s a sponsored feature from the french ministry of education so I’ll drink to this.
And it makes definitely sense in a context of smartphone for video use: you film something, trim it and upload it. No need of an external editor for simple stuff. Great for teachers or anybody using the platform as a free tool and not as an ideological platform.
