Howdy Comrades, brothers, sisters and fellow heathens! I have a question. Is there an open source app like Migu that streams video torrents instead of downloading them? Like for more than just anime?
If you didn’t know, there’s an app on Droidify called Migu that streams anime torrents in real time instead of downloading them. It’s awesome! De-centralyzed media!!!
What open source software do you use for streaming media?
It is more leeching than sharing, but if it is actually torrenting then it should also be uploading while the “stream” is playing. So kind of like PeerTube. Just really depends on both how it is setup, and how popular the video is at any time. Though it sucks that there isn’t a good way to make sure connections happen.
There are lots of times that I get torrents the regular way that I would like to have uploading to other peers at the same time. But will notice that I get few to zero peers for uploading with popular files. There are times that I will leave it seeding for weeks without any uploading. So I end up deleting the torrent so I can move files or free up space because I already made a second copy to sort. Not always the case, but frustrating to not even see a few MB go to anyone. With PeerTube I see my upload working more consistently, but main issue there is just not often that I am watching something that a lot of others (or any others) are also watching.
