I need to figure out how I can set up a self-hosted system to sell my documentary The Illusionists.
Sure, I could host it on PeerTube and add all kinds of foreign language subtitles there... but I need a solution to generate unique URLs for everyone who purchases a 48-hour streaming license... all this to avoid piracy of course.
Yes I know the Fediverse loves 🏴☠️ but how can we independent filmmakers survive?
I've been using a mainstream platform to sell my film and they have just been bought by an infamous company, so I want to decamp ASAP.
I would love your suggestions.
And no, services that offer to sell digital products won't work because it's a 90 minute film that requires subtitles for many so the viewer needs to see it on an online platform that displays subtitles.

#AskFedi@elena A dozen years ago there was a lot of choices - VHX, Distrify, etc for managed, but embed-able on your site. Now there’s not much choice.
Never used them but Gumroad have subtitles https://gumroad.com/help/article/43-streaming-videos#adding-subtitles.
If you prefer to host your own then (not used in a very long time) JWPlayer has paywall plugins https://jwpconnatix.com/blog/video-paywall. For PeerTube there is a WebMonetization plugin but still needs a browser wallet, and not sure if still maintained.. https://github.com/samlich/peertube-plugin-web-monetization

#AskFedioh, I rented it last year !
Would be cool to have a federated VOD platform -
oh, I rented it last year !
Would be cool to have a federated VOD platform@luca grazie Luca!!! And YES I would also love a federated VOD platform. In an ideal world PeerTube would build in some monetization feature...

@nicol ooooh thank you for the BRILLIANT suggestions Nicol!
Yes my doc was originally on VHX... then it was bought by Vimeo... and now Vimeo has been bought by Bending 🥄 so I need to find an exit strategy ASAP.
I heard about Gumroad but I've been a little reluctant to explore this further because its founder worked for DOGE (yikes).
I'll check out JWPlayer... and explore Wordpress premium video plugins as well...

@swatantra Can you ask your 4 year old where I should move to? Somewhere warm plz ❤️

ma l'interfaccia web, può essere un progetto a parte specializzato, secondo me nessun sw di microblogging ha una UI migliore di phanpy.
Penso che l'autore sarebbe perfettamente in grado di scrivere un engine ActivityPub ma non gliene frega niente, è appassionato di user interface.
Ci sta che invece gli autori di gts o snac si vogliano invece concentrare su backend.Io a volte posto da riga di comando !

@Gina I just ask my four-year old.

Big news for #NewJeans fans: The group is officially returning as five members. Minji, Hani, and Danielle have announced they will rejoin ADOR, following the earlier confirmation from Haerin and Hyein.

James Pain's motivations for moving to the Bear Blog lightweight blogging platform resonate with me:
But I care more about publishing. The truth is simple: if the choice is between a perfect platform and a published post, I pick the post.
I went with Write.as for similar reasons, i.e. focusing on frictionless writing rather than setup and customization.

@erincandescent @raito Ha good thing I get to travel first class 🥳

We bought our house 30 some years ago, just us and two neighbors surrounded by woods and hay fields. Years later the farmer died and heirs split the fields to sell off. It took a few years, but one by one big, bigger, and biggest houses went up. I was really into astrophotography at the time and it was a bummer as each new homeowner would fight back the rural darkness with bright outside lights. But an interesting thing happened, after a few months they’d turn them off. Darkness returned.
Not so last night as I walked down an otherwise dark road, the houses lit as if welcoming out of town guests or creating an alien landing strip. Still, aurora were bright enough and phone advanced enough to "stack" exposures, boost dim colors, and let the stars shine.
