Wow, thanks for the info dump. I got really excited that they had somehow figured out how to do WebRTC with their P2P model in a way that scaled to >10 viewers. Unfortunately I looked at their roadmap description and it said it uses HLS with a one-minute delay:

"

The biggest challenge of live streaming on PeerTube is to get the live stream to be peer-to-peer. After extensive testing, we believe this is possible.

By using the HLS technology that has been built into the PeerTube video player since version 1.3, we believe we can create a live stream with one minute of lag between streamers and viewers.

We want to lay the technological foundation for this live stream feature, so this first version of PeerTube Live will be minimalist. There will be no stream captation tools, no built-in chat, no react emojis...

However, we want to make sure that once the live stream is over, the video will be processed and added to the creator's channel, with every requirement for proper federation checked."
