I don't have a cult... yet.

I have to develop my projects more first.

If I forget remind me after I have something substantial to share. A that point I'll have to get set up on all the social media and rewards media and https://restream.io/ or whatever.

It's a shame restream doesn't support any P2P services.

Good point! But there may be copyright issues.

Once it's a torrent you can't stop it.

On the other sites they are obligated to remove infringing content.

Sounds like a golden opportunity for a clever coder.

Sounds like a golden opportunity for a clever coder.

The main issue is bandwidth and running the servers, I think; the code would be relatively simple to interface with everything. The problems are mostly with logistics, which are hard.

If it were easy someone would have done it already.

I don't know anything about Restream.io other than I just learned it exists.

If the website ports all the content, then it is restricted.

If people download an open source client, then they are free to do what they will with it. If they break the laws then that's on them, not the coders or any domain.

Kind of like the opposite of YouTube-DL and YouTube-DLG crossed with qBittorrent.

If only someone would think of this and make it.

Oh, that's easy. But most people don't have a good enough internet connection to stream to two services, let alone ten.

That's why you use Restream.io, etc.

If people download an open source client, then they are free to do what they will with it.

So, to clarify: you didn't mean an open source client that streamed to multiple services?

How on Earth did you flip that?

I'm all for FLOSS!

Write the open code. If you use part of the open qBittorrent or YouTube-DLG projects, great, if not fine.

If you have to utilize the free but proprietary Restream service, but your code remains open, fine. Maybe more than just Restream can be utilized in the future by other coders and developments and sites.

Also, YouTube, BitChute, etc are NOT open source so far as I know. D-Tube and PeerTube are I believe.

Utilizing their proprietary services does not negate open source projects independent of them.

I really don't understand how you always flip things.

I originally assumed that you did mean an open source client that streamed to multiple services, but that didn't make sense, because it doesn't solve the bandwidth problem. Streaming to Restream plus something else is only useful if you have a lot of bandwidth available.

You're right about YouTube, D-Tube and PeerTube; I don't know about BitChute. And you're right that interfacing with proprietary services doesn't negate the usefulness of the open source project. I just got confused.
