Description

This plugin adds a new entry to the file list context menu that enables the user to stream a file using HTTP.

Technically, it tries to download the part of a file the user requests and downloads ahead, this enables seeking in video files.

How to use

• Install plugin
• Select a torrent
• Select files tab
• Right-click a file.
• Click Stream this file
• WAIT, it will try to buffer the first pieces of the file before generating a link (no feedback yet).
• Select the link, open it in a media player, e.g. VLC or MPC

If you want to stream from a non-local computer, e.g. your seedbox, you will need to change the IP in option to the external server ip.

Motivation

The plugin is not meant to be used as a right-click to stream thing. The idea is to make Deluge an abstraction layer for the TidalStream project, i.e. torrents to http on demand.

The allow remote option is to allow remote add and stream of torrents.

ToDo

• Add authentication to the API
• Add support for the WebUI
• There are a few situations where an uncaught exception is thrown.
• Add feedback when preparing stream.
