> We needed to settle a technical debt : v6 removes support for WebTorrent to focus on HLS (with WebRTC P2P). Both are technical bricks used to get peer-to-peer streaming in web browsers, but HLS is more fitted to what we are doing (and plan to do) with PeerTube
Sad to see WebTorrent support go. I'm a big believer in the idea of Torrent over WebRTC, and PeerTube seemed like a great use of the technology. It really solves the "this video is going viral and I'm being hugged to death" problem. I haven't heard much about P2P HLS... Hope to hear more.
