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?

      I’m guessing you also don’t use aurora store. If you did you’d see the majority of all the apps mentioned in internet web searches all have ads and trackers. That’s why none of the web results worked for me. As you’ll see none of the web searches mention TorrServe. They’re not accurate.

      Details were left out. I’ve actually been working on a del googling project for two months. Off and on I’ve looked for open source, free streaming. My time has been split between working on anonymity and security for doing journalism work. So I’d say the four or five times, probably more, I looked into streaming over those two months was about half an hour or so, I wouldn’t find what I was after and I’d get back to more serious stuff. The last two days were the same. Turns out I had the app the entire time. TorrServe Matrix off F-Droid. I mistook it as a torrent downloader. But when I looked the past few days, I more so worked on music streaming, it just turned up apps that all had trackers on them on the play store. I couldn’t find anything on F-Droid because I already had it. I left all these details out on my OP.
