A PeerTube plugin to manage video categories.

Development

1. Install and start a PeerTube dev instance following this guide: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute-plugins?id=test-your-plugintheme

In dev mode, administrator username is root and password is test.

2. Install the plugin from your PeerTube directory:

node ./dist/server/tools/peertube.js plugins install --path ~/workspace/peertube/peertube-plugin-categories

You may look at the plugin categories configuration there: http://localhost:9000/plugins/categories/router/enhanced-categories

This URL is used to update the categories table on the settings page.

You may check which categories will actually be exposed in your instance: http://localhost:9000/api/v1/videos/categories

1. set the latest available plugin version to the last version number:

update "plugin" set "latestVersion" = 'X.X.X' where "plugin"."name" = 'categories';

2. Refresh plugins page and update the plugin.
