Raspberry PI support

[ghost]

Has anyone had luck using this module with their Raspberry PI and omxplayer? I tried executing the following:

$ webtorrent --omx hdmi "magnet link"

It seems to start finding peers then terminates, however if I don't supply an output player it works as intended. Could it be a memory issue? I'm using Raspbian.

Have you tried webtorrent --omx=hdmi "magnet link"? I think the documentation in the help page may be wrong.

The code for playing to OMX player was copied over from the peerflix project and hasn't been tested by me yet. I just bought a Raspberry Pi though and I'll make sure it works.

Nope, no difference unfortunately. I decided to fork this project so I'll play around and see if I can get anywhere too.

Hi,

i've tried it with the R-Pi. Unfortunately the R-Pi[1,B,+] doesn't seem to have enough cpu-power to download the torrent and to stream it at the same time. I've also tried to split the streaming from the torrent download itself with no luck. I solved the problem by buying a R-Pi v2. The new (March 2015) Quad-Core of the Pi is powerfull enough that even streaming 1080p and 3D is possible.

Nice!

Hi Corelgott,
Did you success seed or download on R-Pi v2 ?
You mention that you can use webtorrent to download via command line.
So you don't need WebRTC ?

I tried install webtorrent-hybrid before, but meet the problem:
webtorrent/webtorrent-hybrid#2

webtorrent-cli works fine on the raspberry pi!
