Webflix

A lightweight web app wrapper for peerflix. Just input a link to a torrent and the server opens up a stream available in the browser or from media players like VLC. I'm sure someone else already has done this.

index stream

Installation

git clone git@github.com:JoelBesada/webflix.git
cd webflix
npm install
npm install -g coffee-script

Usage

Run app/app.coffee to start the server.

coffee app/app.coffee

The app accepts the following command-line options:

--user <username> A username to be used in HTTP basic auth, has to be combined with --password
--password <password> A password to be used in HTTP basic auth, has to be combined with --use
--port <port> The port the web app will run on. Note that the stream will always be on port 8888.

Depending on the format of the stream, you can either view it directly in your web browser or from a media player like VLC.
