We've updated P.LU to PeerTube 8.0.2.

This is a major version upgrade from 7.3.0, bringing new collaboration features, a redesigned video player, and several important bug fixes.

What's new in PeerTube 8.0

Channel collaboration

Channel owners can now invite other users on the same instance to become editors. Editors can manage videos, playlists, and comments on behalf of the channel — and all actions are tracked in a new Activity page.

Redesigned video player

PeerTube 8.0 ships with two player themes: a new modern Lucide design and the renamed Galaxy theme (the original look). Admins and channel owners can set default themes, and individual videos can use different themes. The Galaxy theme also adds vertical volume controls.

Improved video imports

Video imports now show an explicit "Import failed" state, making it easier to spot and fix issues. Import status is visible on both the manage and watch pages, with retry functionality built in.

Other improvements

• Storyboard generation can now run via remote runners
• Faster HLS video seeking
• Redesigned notification system
• Admins can customize default "Browse videos" sorting
• Accessibility improvements across forms
• Migrated from yarn to pnpm for faster installs and upgrades

Bug fixes in 8.0.2

• Fixed PostgreSQL CPU spikes on instances with many subscriptions or heavy federation activity
• Corrected the login URL in registration confirmation emails
• Fixed plugin compatibility — trailing commas in package.json files no longer block plugin updates
• Restored channel sync when privacy settings are modified by plugins
• Fixed video sort order in "My Videos" after running a search
