WebTorrent integration for in-browser streaming of anime

[8zIWLjcB]

https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent Add a button next to "Magnet Link" "Torrent File" named "Play". Only needs frontend changes. WebTorrent does not require any special plugins besides browser support for WebRTC. Coupled with AniDB integration, it would be very neat to have.

I already saw it (just read roughly) but doesn't it need to have web peers instead of torrent peers?

[8zIWLjcB]

You need to have peers with support for WebRTC. In practice, this means peers using Popcorn Time or Vuze. However, libtorrent-rasterbar is working on adding it which is used by most major torrent clients.

Ok I just skimmed through it so I wasn't sure if I got it right ^^. Then it can be a good addition, since we also plan to add this feature into the android app with the help of the torrent library from popcorn

Are there any webtorrent players that don't use jquery or any other frameworks? I found https://github.com/ferrolho/magnet-player which is quite easy to just download compiled from https://ferrolho.github.io/magnet-player/ and then edit out the cloudflare stuff, but it uses jquery. We could use jquery only for the player page, but that still feels unclean. Thoughts?

Would be easy to have a standard HTML5 video player and pipe the torrent.files.forEach(function (file) { } function into it. The problem is with mkv videos and subtitles.

Why do you think about ~~web app~~ desktop app using Electron? This app would be integrated with pantsu api and provides easy way to stream using Web torrent library.

@xdk78 desktop app that combines popcorntime + taiga would be amazing We could also trial blockchain db for it as well
