Plamenu comes with extended PeerTube support.
Here's an example of what I mean by "extended": an unmodified Tusky client, connected to a Plamenu instance, is able to play a PeerTube livestream.
Plamenu caches the video stream, so dozens of Plamenu users on the same instance watching the same PeerTube stream put no more load on the source PeerTube instance than a single viewer, and I'm currently looking for a way for the Plamenu to participate in PeerTube's P2P, so we can reduce that even further.

@lnkr yo this is crazy. working amazing from phanpy too. I would imagon this would take a ton of data on your server tho if you ended up having some users here. when you stop playing them do you delete the cached version?

@wakest Perhaps should come as no surprise but I'm still working out the details. The amount of space allocated for this type of cache, the duration for which it will be stored, and other details, such as various rate limits and the option to disable this feature entirely, will be configurable by the instance admin via the web admin interface. And yeah, this thing is not Tusky-specific in any way. Most of the MastoAPI clients that are able to play videos should also be able to play livestreams, although since practically none of them was actually designed and tested for this case, some of them might have a bad time. I don't have the means to check them all, so I'll have to rely solely on reports from the hypothetical future community.

@lnkr I actually realized yesterday that akkoma (running mangane but would assume this doesn't matter) also plays peertube videos and was like ugh whyyyy has this not been prioritized in mastodon yet.

do you have a chat room (matrix?) for plamenu somewhere? I am pretty impressed with how this project is coming
