Find more at PeerTube and the PeerTube documentation.

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.
