Why Peertube always does optimize-to-web-video job after I upload video?

PeerTube

In my 6.2.1 Peertube instance I disabled Web Videos. But Peertube does not respect that choice and does optimize-to-web-video job first every time I upload new video and after that it switches to hls-to-new-resolution jobs. Why is that?

Is this something else and not related to « Web Video » button instances transcoding settings?

Or maybe I discovered a bug?

Hi,

PeerTube always optimize the input video to a web video first. We had issues generating an HLS version of non optimized video with some ffmpeg versions.

What kind of issues it may create? Can’t find releveant topics or issues in Github.

If there is no web video optimized version of video made first can I experience video seeking issues later?
