Set a specific port for incoming peers instead of a random port

[rpellerin]

At the moment, how can we set a specific port for incoming peers? I've read 'torrent-stream' documentation, and it's written that default port is 6881, but with peerflix that's not true. The port is randomly chosen.
It would be great if we could add an argument to peerflix that would specify a peer port. It's very annoying because I'm using iptables as a firewall.
Thanks

If you send me a PR that fixes this I'll happily merge it :)

--port-port [port] has been added in peerflix 0.14.0 which allows you to explicitly set a peer listening port

Woow great! Thanks a lot!

It doesn't seem to work. I tried 'peerflix -x 8889 ""' and 'peerflix --port-port 8889 ""' and then I did 'sudo netstat -taupe'. The output was:

tcp 0 0 :8888 *: LISTEN pi 71192 16663/peerflix
tcp 0 0 :8889 *: LISTEN pi 71181 16663/peerflix
udp 0 0 :49214 *: pi 71191 16663/peerflix

The port 49214 seems to have been randomely chosen and I think it's the peer port. If I start my firewall and allow TCP on port 8889, no peer is found. Any idea?
Thanks

It should be --peer-port [port]

[rpellerin]

It doesn't appear in 'peerflix --help'. You said '--port-port' in your previous post. I'll try this tonight thanks

[mafintosh]

It should appear in peerflix --help. My output is:

Which version are you using? peerflix --version

My bad, it appears, I haven't read all. As I said I used -x without success. Can you show me your sudo netstat -taupe output please while using a specific port?
