Video views not matching the real number of views about peertube

[Chocobozzz]

Thanks for the explanations.

The counter per video seems to be limited to only count one view per IP address that visit a video

To be more specific, it's "The counter per video seems to be limited to only count one view per IP address that visit a video per hour"

You can reduce the per hour interval by updating the views.videos.ip_view_expiration setting: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L382

Hi,

Can you go on yourinstance.com/admin/system/debug and check if your IP is correctly detected by PeerTube?

[spirillen]

The real IP is detected as I did put up the realip in the nginx + I'm bypassing crimeflare

Sp for the test, I've tested over tor as well and here I get a different results... which is unexpected as this have work before...

I'm getting back on this issue when the IP issue is solved.

Hmm when using a VPN, the IP is the exit IP, only over tor this is different... So assuming the (proxy) setup is working

[Chocobozzz]

Can you try to reproduce with PeerTube debug logs enabled and paste them with:

• The number of views you made (considering 1 address IP -> 1 view)
• The number of views PeerTube displays (after a while since viewers are buffered)

You can also check interesting debug logs like Processing local view for to see what kind of IP PeerTube detects

Just to let you know I haven't forgotten this issue, just awaiting I get time to a minor disturbance in my force to pick it up

@Chocobozzz After the update to version 6.0.3 it seems the counter have start working, but that is leaving my other question or should we say request

The number of views you made (considering 1 address IP -> 1 view)

To make one view = one view... like if I have a stable IP, then none of my view would count as a view.

I'm sorry but I don't understand

The counter per video seems to be limited to only count one view per IP address that visit a video.

IF == TRUE; then...

My question is to make each Play count as a view, disregard IP address.

IE:

I've uploaded a Music Video, that I mysteriously happens to like and hit either F5 (+ ctrl)? or press the replay button, then I would expect the view counter to grow with one i++

Thanks, I most admit I never looked that deep into the config file :)
