webseed without WebRTC

[zh99998]

can webtorrent run without webrtc, in webseed-only (no-p2p) mode?
seems it only need stream api like url blob that can work.

if webtorrent support such environment, how can I check browser can run webtorrent or not?

if not.... then there is a feature request to support this

If you just want to use web seeds, that's fine. WebTorrent should work for this use case. I don't think it makes sense to have WebTorrent expose a boolean to see if this is supported, as it's supported in most modern browsers.

You can detect support like this:

var isSupported = typeof MediaSource !== 'undefined'

Note that Safari support is currently broken due to this bug: jhiesey/videostream#24
