@gabek Yes, using a torrent-ish distribution mechanism would 100% introduce tons of stream latency. I think that's a price many folks would be willing to pay, however, if the alternative is what you mentioned, paying for / giving your data to a CDN.

I am interested in it precisely **because** it is hard / no good solution for it exists today, not despite that 😈

I saw the comment on the owncast issue stating that peertube already added p2p live streaming -- this is simply not true! PeerTube is using HLS just like owncast is. It is 100% handled by the server.
