I’m in the process to migrating from a low-end server to a much nicer one. That process went well and I’m nearly ready to switch the DNS. I’m wondering though is transcoding can be applied retroactively. I didn’t enable HLS and transcoding so far because it was unrealistic but now I’d like to facilitate access to a broader audience that doesn’t have always the best bandwidth. Most of my past videos are in 1080p 60fps without HLS and I received few complaints.
I noticed that https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain-tools?id=create-transcoding-jobjs exists so should I manually list the different videos I want then batch process those before enabling the new instance to « catch up » with the past videos or is there an easier safer way?
Hi,
Yes it’s the way do reencode already uploaded videos 
Actually can you please clarify how to run the tools properly?
I check the documentation but that didn’t seem Docker specific and rather suggested re-installation from git which didn’t seem appropriate.
I then checked this other thread but while trying to run it (including with the wrong hash file, just to test) I get ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432 so I assume some service is missing.
Anyway point is I’m confused on what to do after sudo docker-compose run peertube sh
Super. Worked perfectly, just had to change the path to where I have docker-composer (in the home of the current user) then I was able to transcode to a specific resolution (e.g 480) and that was automatically made available in the player as a new resolution, very nice!
