      The crash could probably be resolved by PeerTube doing some smarter stuff surrounding device detection and transcoding and quality selection. It already does some basic transcoding but there's a lot of room for improvement. Transcoding issues on issue tracker

      Based on their architecture doc it seems like the majority of the effort has been devoted to the peer-to-peer and federation aspect, rather than on the video player itself.

      Just out of curiosity, what OS and browser? For me it worked well on iOS Safari.

        Win 10, Firefox 62.0.3 It worked fine in Chrome, Opera and Edge though. I suspect me having a bajillion tabs open in Firefox may have had something to do with it. ;)
