Installation

npm install -g pizzastream

Why

I personally had the necessity to have a place where to store my torrents and stream them when I wanted to. Imagine to have few GBs on your personal devices and you don't want to keep all the torrent data on them. Here comes PizzaStream which is capable to store only .torrent files and making them available whenever you want.

Supported formats

Basically everything, but remember that videos can also be streamed in players like VLC :)

Modules

PizzaStream is based on:

• commander (To correctly handle the cli options)
• js-yaml (For YAML configuration files)
• request (Used in torrent retrieval from URL)
• torrent-stream (To retrieve the torrent data in a sequential and handy way)
• express
• ejs
