PeerTube plugin premium users

About

This plugin will add a video field where uploaders can choose whether the video is a premium video or not. Premium videos will only be shown for paid users, other users will see a preselected default video. To become a premium user a user has to go to My account > Premium and click "Subscribe to become a premium user". He will then be redirected to Stripe and when the checkout is complete he's a premium user.

Limitations

• No support for adding a user as trialing via Stripe
