Will Live video streaming be possible ?

Swarmplayer (http://swarmplayer.p2p-next.org/) can play live streams directly in browser, but it needs to be installed as a plugin. Could you add such a thing into Webtorrent ? Swarmplayer is opensource.

Thanks for bringing swarmplayer to my attention. I hadn't heard of it before. From looking at the website, it looks like it doesn't actually support streaming live video, like from a live event. It does stream the video, but it's not a live video.

WebTorrent will support video streaming -- i.e. you won't need the full file before you can start playing the video. See the README for more information.
