How do I use this to download/seed a webtorrent #6782

I'm writing a peertube mirror in python that's supposed to use libtorrent, but I can't seem to get it to work. The status is stuck at "downloading_metadata".

import time
from pathlib import Path
import libtorrent as lt
ses = lt.session({'listen_interfaces': '0.0.0.0:6881'})
download_dir_path = Path("/tmp/tilvids/")
download_dir_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
download_file_path = download_dir_path / "video"
magnet_uri = "magnet:?xs=https%3A%2F%2Ftilvids.com%2Flazy-static%2Ftorrents%2Fd86fade7-561c-481a-b5bb-e8421177638c-1080.torrent&xt=urn:btih:9ae6455145efe03ae11f4da742bbfddadc3ffe18&dn=Eternal+Inflation%3A+The+Theory+of+Infinite+Big+Bangs&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftilvids.com%2Ftracker%2Fannounce&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftilvids.com%3A443%2Ftracker%2Fsocket&ws=https%3A%2F%2Ftilvids.com%2Fstatic%2Fwebseed%2Fd86fade7-561c-481a-b5bb-e8421177638c-1080.mp4"

Hi, unfortunately, that doesn't work either. This is the updated code that also downloads the torrent """
import sys
import time
from pathlib import Path
import requests
import libtorrent as lt
torrent_path = Path("/tmp/my second animation-720p.torrent")
if not torrent_path.is_file():
response = requests.get("https://video.ploud.fr/download/torrents/f7fb42c0-d45e-4395-a052-d0cdf4bcc3f2-720.torrent")
torrent_path.write_bytes(response.content)
print("downloaded torrent to ", torrent_path)
ses = lt.session({'listen_interfaces': '0.0.0.0:6881'})
download_dir_path = Path("/tmp/tilvids/")
download_dir_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
download_file_path = download_dir_path / "video"
h = ses.add_torrent({
"ti": lt.torrent_info(str(torrent_path)),
"save_path": str(download_dir_path)
})
s = h.status()
print('starting', s.name)
while (not s.is_seeding):
s = h.status()
print(
'\r%.2f%% complete (down: %.1f kB/s up: %.1f kB/s peers: %d) %s' % (
s.progress * 100, s.download_rate / 1000, s.upload_rate / 1000,
s.num_peers, s.state), end=' '
)
alerts = ses.pop_alerts()
for a in alerts:
if a.category() & lt.alert.category_t.error_notification:
print(a)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(1)
print(h.status().name, 'complete')The torrent works on https://btorrent.xyz/view and can be played from the peertube instance. If this is better suited in a bug report, I can write one. |

Even though I'm able to download the file on my VPS, it doesn't seem like webtorrents are working as I don't see the number of seeds increase when downloading it from my browser. At home, it looks like |

Thank you. That was it. For anybody else reading: webtorrent support is in the master branch, but you must enable it when compiling. with |
