    • Search videos and channels by keyword.
    • Explore channel pages and their uploaded videos.
    • Watch videos directly in AN Player.

Install

  1. Open AN Player and go to the Plugins Screen.
  2. Find PeerTube in the official plugins list.
  3. Install the plugin and open its configuration page.

Configure Plugin

PeerTube requires the address of a PeerTube instance.

  1. Open the plugin configuration page from AN Player.
  2. Enter the Instance URL — this is the web address of the PeerTube server you want to browse. Examples:
    • https://framatube.org
    • https://videos.lecole.link
    • https://peertube.social
  3. Tap Save.

You can find a list of public PeerTube instances at instances.joinpeertube.org. Pick one that interests you or that hosts content in your language.

If Nothing Loads

If videos don't appear after saving, check the following:

  • The instance URL may be wrong — try opening it in your browser to verify it's a working PeerTube server.
  • The instance may be down or undergoing maintenance — try a different instance.
  • Make sure you included https:// at the beginning of the URL.
