Tips: You can use the « preformatted text » functionnality of this forum to paste more readable logs.

These logs are « client logs »: error logs that users have in their browser, and that are send to the backend for debugging purpose (this can be disabled in the Peertube configuration).
There can be many reason for such logs. Here, a request that send metrics failed. This is probably an ad blocker used by one of your user.
