Are PeerTube videos watchable from Piped? + recs asked
I'm new at both PeerTube and at Piped/NewPipe frontends. I've always wanted to support PeerTube but every time I browse instances I see very little content and it's especially barren for the type of stuff I like. Not really a tech guy, even though I'm learning some programming my background is that of a Literature teacher that likes gaming (especially indie gaming, but some AAA RPG/JRPG/narrative/strategy gaming is cool too) and video essays about anything that have at least a bit of humanities bend.
I've started using Piped to watch YT videos (I don't use NewPipe since I rarely use my phone, more of a desktop guy). I've heard you can watch both YT and PeerTube videos on NewPipe. Can you do the same at Piped? And if so, what would be the best way to find channels with the aforementioned characteristics?
Stuff in Spanish is fine too since that's my actual language but I assume there's not much stuff in Spanish in PeerTube and therefore even less quality content and even less quality content that caters to my specific likes. So I foresee it'll mostly be in English like in YouTube.
You can watch PeerTube, YouTube, Odyssey, Kick, Twitch and more using GrayJay.
However the only PeerTube instance you can use is FUTO, which only has FUTO videos. But it is open source, so maybe you can go and modify the code for yourself if you're handy like that.
Grayjay is not open-source. It's source-available. That still means your comment is true in principle, but don't expect to be able to share your changes with anyone.
If you just want videos from PeerTube and Piped to appear in the same feed, you can do that via an RSS news aggregator. For example, Mozilla Thunderbird has that built in, but there's also tons of small, dedicated applications, depending on what OS you're using, or even as a browser extension.
In PeerTube, you can get an RSS feed, either of your subscription feed directly, or for the individual PeerTube channels, you'd like to subscribe to.
I don't know, if you can also get an RSS feed for your subscription feed in Piped, but you can get it per channel. Just click on the little WiFi-looking button.
