Same here! Any chance to record and/or stream it?

I have been toying with the idea (offering syncthing storage) for a
few months, but not looking yet for customers. May be beta testers?
Poking around running own discovery server these days (but on the back burner).
Ping me off-list, if you are interested as a company, individuals - later.

I still try to get the how the code works (or why), and I cannot fully
trust it yet.
I also had a few "data evaporated" cases that I couldn't debug, the
obvious one: took a few pictures with phone (Android), cannot find
them neither on phone, nor on syncthing-backend.

And I hate that there is no proper support for hard links (I want to
keep a big (5-10 GB) store of things (e.g. maps) shared read-only
between many devices, with "root" on a server; yes this is NOT P2P
mode, but I need it).

Cheers,
Kalin.
