Description Pavel Kreuzt 2014-12-29 00:28:25 CET

Streaming torrent client for Node.js

npm install -g peerflix
Usage

To try out peerflix start it with a magnet link or torrent file

peerflix "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e" --vlc
Remember to put " around your magnet link since they usually contain &.

peerflix will print a terminal interface. this first line contains an address to a http server. Using --vlc will open the file in vlc when it's ready to stream.

peerflix

Simply open this address in vlc or similar to start viewing the file. If the torrent contains multiple files peerflix will choose the biggest one.

To get a full list of available options run

peerflix --help

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Last release is from 5 years ago. Package dependencies are broken and rely on vulnerable versions. Developer doesn't answer and maintains this project anymore....

Closing as WONTFIX.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
