Usage
Peerflix can be used with a magnet link or a torrent file. To stream a video with its magnet link use the following command.
peerflix "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e" --vlc
Remember to put "
around your magnet link since they usually contain &
.
peerflix
will print a terminal interface. The first line contains an address to a http server. The --vlc
flag ensures vlc is opened when the torrent is ready to stream.
To stream music with a torrent file use the following command.
peerflix "http://some-torrent/music.torrent" -a --vlc
The -a
flag ensures that all files in the music repository are played with vlc.
Otherwise if the torrent contains multiple files, peerflix
will choose the biggest one.
