Hi,

I’m currenty using Oracle Free Tier for Jellyfin (hosted in Paris) and i wanted to know what is the proper way to speed up media delivery when i’m far away from the server location ? (Korea currently)

EDIT : After all your replies, my VPN through Hong Kong give me the best speed.

    Ok but isn’t peertube defederated?

    Which means (unless I grossly misunderstand the concept)

    that your video(s) are stored not only on your own server but also shared out to other servers which also keep a copy cached.

    So in this scenario it would be very much immune to these concerns because your video(s) will be streamed from the closest federated server to you which has a copy, meaning you will always get the best throughput no matter what your physical location is or what it was when you uploaded.

      *defederated

      Videos are shared p2p between users currently watching the same video. Even then they only keep a certain amount in cache to share with others, so they must watch roughly the same section of the video as each other aswell.

        Ah interesting.

        So unless you are watching a currently very popular video you are likely just streaming from the server where the video was originally uploaded?

      Ideally yes, but only the public videos are shared with other servers. Most of the videos on my instance are internal, so only people who have an account on it can access the videos.
