207### optimize-old-videos.js
208
209Before version v1.0.0-beta.16, Peertube did not specify a bitrate for the
210transcoding of uploaded videos. This means that videos might be encoded into
211very large files that are too large for streaming. This script re-transcodes
212these videos so that they can be watched properly, even on slow connections.

230
231If you want to interact with the application libraries and objects even when PeerTube is not running, there is a REPL for that.
232
233usage: `node ./dist/server/tools/peertube-repl.js`
234
235"The default evaluator will, by default, assign the result of the most recently evaluated expression to the special variable `_` (underscore). Explicitly setting `_` to a value will disable this behavior."
236
237- type `.help` to list commands available in the repl, notice it starts with a dot
238- type `.exit` to exit, note that you still have to press CTRL-C to actually exit, or press CTRL-C (3 times) without typing `.exit` to exit
239- type `context` to list all available objects and libraries in the context, note: `Promise` is also available but it's not listed in the context, in case you need promises for something
240- type `env` to see the loaded environment variables

242- type `lodash` to access lodash library
