Credits

The hard job is on guys here, thanks to them i was able to write this. :-)

• http://p2ptube.sourceforge.net/ : python torrent streaming, the core of the streaming is from btcat.py from coder owner, i just use that code in my script
• https://github.com/danfolkes/Magnet2Torrent : great tool to convert magnet links to torrents, i use it inside my script too.
• TPB : you know ;)

Usage:

• install dependencies with easy_install, this will work straighforward on most linux machines, in macosx with macports you can install kind of fast libtorrent, but it could be a pain in some environments, as it was for me.
• turn an ipython console:

    from Cosmos_Streaming import Torrent_Cosmos
    t=Torrent_Cosmos()
    #search for available torrent and select the one you want to stream, is sorted by seeds
    t.searchForCosmos()
    #play with mplayer for the moment
    t.selectItemAndPlay(0)

TODO:

• become a pro torrent streaming api, like peerflix.
• organize code.
• make it a console tool.
