Doesn't start streaming in vlc

[rom1504]

Hello,
As said in #81 , npm install webtorrent -g make it possible to use a webtorrent command.
The interface seems very similar to peerflix one.
So i tried streaming a magnet with the --vlc option, but it only started once the file was entirely downloaded, which is not really streaming...
Is this ready to be used yet ? Is that a bug ?

A less important thing, it seems to be behaving like peerflix was before : vlc on top, but it isn't very pratical as said in mafintosh/peerflix#92 , so it would be nice to do the same thing here.

Thanks for opening an issue - and sorry you're having issues streaming to VLC. Can you confirm what version of webtorrent you're using with webtorrent --version?

There have been several important fixes in webtorrent dependencies so you should probably run npm update webtorrent -g for good measure to update webtorrent's dependencies. Could you do that and try again?

I opened a separate issue for the VLC on top issue: #85

I think we still have some lingering bugs in the storage code that sometimes make the stream not start up until the whole file has been downloaded.

Indeed I updated and it worked this time. So I guess this is fixed ? (hopefully I didn't just have "luck" this time)

I'll leave the issue open just in case. Please let me know if you see the
issue again so we can get it fixed.
