Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : peerflix
Version : 0.10.10
Upstream Author : Mathias Buus <[email protected]>
* URL : https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix
* License : MIT
Programming Lang: JavaScript
Description : video streaming client using the Bittorrent network protocol
Streaming torrent client for Node.js --
To try out peerflix start it with a magnet link or torrent file:
peerflix "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e" --vlc
peerflix will print a terminal interface. this first line contains an address
to a local http server. Using --vlc will open the file in vlc when it's ready
to stream

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.
$ peerflix --help

--------------------------------
This is basically a simpler/command-line alternative to Popcorn-time
(RFP: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=741972, Homepage:
http://popcorntime.io/)
Running perfectly on debian Jessie.
I've packaged it using fpm (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm):
sudo aptitude install rubygems build-essential libopenssl-ruby ruby1.8-dev
sudo gem install fpm
fpm -s npm -t deb peerflix
(though the package quality is totally unsuitable for inclusion in the debian
repos)
It would also be fairly easy to write a graphical wrapper for this.
