Error when trying to stream video torrent

[uriylla]

I'm building a video streamming application with Electron and I'm facing a problem for which I haven't found any solution so far.

My code is the following:

const $ = require('jquery');
const WebTorrent = require('webtorrent');
global.jQuery = $;

$(document).ready(function(){
var client = new WebTorrent();
var magnetUri = 'https://webtorrent.io/torrents/sintel.torrent';
client.add(magnetUri, function (torrent) {
var file = torrent.files[0];
var video = document.createElement('video');
video.controls = true;
$('#main-container').append(video);
file.createReadStream().pipe(video);
});

var timer = setInterval(function(){ console.log(client.torrents[0].timeRemaining); }, 1000);
console.log(client);
console.log(client.torrents[0].infoHash);
console.log(client.torrents[0].files);

})

And after a little bit I get the following error in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: dest.on is not a function
from this file: ..app/node_modules/webtorrent/node_modules/readable-stream/lib/_stream_readable.js

and on my terminal I see those errors as well:

Any help would be much appreciated.

This way of streaming into a video tag is no longer supported:

file.createReadStream().pipe(video);

Instead you should do:

file.renderTo(video);
