its a bit off feeling(i cant place why) Probably because the web frontend is trash, but that's tautologous. Install something like peertube-viewer-rs or one of the 50 android apps for it and ignore javashit. The real problem with peertube is the server side, it's by far the most frustrating thing I maintain. Granted a decent portion of that is that it uses postgres, and postgres is an absolute clusterfuck of a thing to maintain. But peertube also fucks up its own permissions constantly, so that you can't actually play videos... I put a script that runs daily to fix it, and it seems to have worked well enough.

I NEED to be able to play audio on a Mobile device when the screen is turned off Literally any non-retarded media player can do that. Of course, most media players expect the file to be read from local storage instead of remote. This is trivially arranged.

Honestly any fedi thing that supports videos is sufficient in general. Just post whatever random stuff you make on pleroma or lemmy or whatever.
