No Video Stream #3
Comments
The stream will be on 9000 once you add a torrent and click a file link on the page. It won't open vlc for you, but will show the video in the browser if you have the plugin installed. You can copy the link in vlc as network stream. |
No such luck with the stream. peerflix works fine, but here nothing. Vlc sees a stream but refuses to open/play.
thanks. |
Please provide more details: what torrent are you using, what file are you trying to stream? |
I tried grabbing several mp4 and avi torrents from the internet. All well seeded popular tv shows, with not very large file sizes. ~300mb |
As an example of another torrent that doesn't work: |
How am I supposed to get the link to the stream for subsequent torrents? |
oh, wow, I feel so stupid now. I was supposed to click on the hyperlink to the file, after having checked it. |
You don't have to check it. Checking it makes it download the file ahead of time instead of streaming it in real time. |
Got it. Just to ask now and make it clear, where is the temporary directory the files are saved to? Are they always cleared on shutdown? |
It uses the same back-end as peerflix, so the files are stored in the same folder by default. You can override the defaults by supplying a config file (I'll update the readme once I have the time). |
BTW, if you'd like to contribute some documentation, like a short guide in the readme, please feel free to submit a pull request. GitHub makes it extremely easy, just open |
The server runs fine, however there is no stream to be found using vlc.
peerflix's default port has nothing, and 9000 does nothing but displays the page.
