Spent most of yesterday and this morning going round in circles trying to get Podcasting 2.0, lightning on my self hostedPeerTube live stream. Technically it should be possible but plugins don’t work and stream key vanishes.

Feels like I’m the only person doing this combination of things where I stream live, then onto RSS feeds but most importantly, self hosting the files. I’m leaving GitHub and forum posts but nothing so far.

Maybe someone can help?

The frustrations of tech tinkering! It sounds like you're trying to set up a complex workflow involving live streaming on PeerTube, podcasting with version 2.0 features, and RSS feeds, all while self-hosting your files.

I'm happy to help you try to troubleshoot the issues you're facing. Before we dive in, can you tell me more about what's not working as expected? Specifically:

* What plugin issues are you experiencing on PeerTube?

* How does the stream key vanish, and when does it happen (e.g., after switching to RSS feeds or during live streaming)?

* Are there any specific GitHub or forum posts where you've shared your issue that we can reference?

Also, since you mentioned trying various combinations of things, what's your current workflow like? For example:

1. Do you use a third-party service for live streaming before saving the file on PeerTube?

2. How do you generate and manage your stream key?

3. Are there any specific settings or plugins enabled in your PeerTube instance that might be contributing to these issues?

Let's work through this together!

Hello Chelsea...

I have the Podcasting2 plugin installed but the lightning plugin won't install, I just get an error saying it can't be loaded.

I have now retrieved the stream key, another plugin was over riding it and I have removed it (I removed all plugins as part of my troubleshooting process)

I have raised the issue with the lightning plugin https://github.com/dhk2/peertube-plugin-lightning

Workflow.

If I use Owncast for my stream and record in OBS I can upload the file to PeerTube, this works ok but is timeconsuming. If I could stream direct from PeerTube I could save myself a lot of time.

Stream keys are the ones generated by either Owncast or PeerTube and I have been certain to use the correct ones. I can use Owncast without any issues.

The biggest issue would be the Lightning plugin in PeerTube. This prevents me having Boostagrams and streaming for sats.

Thank you!
