What it is

service.lt2http is a Kodi addon wrapper for lt2http application. There is no Kodi interface yet, addons acts like a lt2http service starter and updates the settings, according to Kodi addon settings.

I would appreciate if someone would like to add a simple browsing functionality in Python, to be able to list active torrents, or add file, start/stop/pause/delete torrent, etc..

  • Linux 32/64 bits
  • Linux ARM (armv6, armv7, armv8/arm64)
  • OS X 64 bits
  • Android ARM (4.4.x, and later), x86, x64, ARM, ARM64

Download

See the Releases page. Do NOT use the Download ZIP button on this page.

Installation

  • Go to Settings > Service settings > Control and enable both Application control options
  • Restart Kodi if one or both options were not enabled
  • Install lt2http like any other add-on

Build

service.lt2http has only Python scripts to run the lt2http application from Kodi and stop gracefully. When new version is installed - proper binary is downloaded from GitHub.

Release

Release is done by release.sh script, that gets precompiled binaries, collects everything into module zip file and upload as a Github release.

How it works

lt2http is a torrent downloading application, whis REST web-server on front and ability to stream downloaded data to media player or downloader. It supports download to the memory, without using the hard disk.

The BitTorrent streaming engine is very resilient (or at least it's designed to be). It's built on top of libtorrent package.
