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?
