I’ve been experimenting a bit with Peertube videos as podcast. Specifically, I wanted to see if I could get an audio-only version of a video.
I’ve tried 2 podcast apps for Android, AntennaPod and PodAura.
AntennaPod defaults to video, which of course is not strange as it is a video, but has the possibility to swich to audio only. However, for videos with split audio and video stream, there’s no sound in either playback mode.
With PodAura, it’s only possible to play the full video, and I get sound, even with split audio/video.
For both apps, the whole video experience is very quirky, especially if you want to navigate in the video. It’s quite clear that video playback isn’t the main priority.
I guess all or most of these problems are on the app side of things, but is it any possibilities to better the experience from the Peertube side? I’m thinking mostly of the possibility to consume videos as audio-only.
