Stream any torrent in sync with your friends

Multiplex, an app to watch torrents together. It provides an experience similar to Apple’s SharePlay and Amazon’s Prime Video Watch Party, except for any torrent instead of a specific streaming service. Thanks to WebRTC, it doesn’t require a server to sync playback, and can use a gateway if a viewer can’t use BitTorrent. It’s written in Go for GNOME; check it out on GitHub github.com/pojntfx/multiplex

smollittlefrog,

I hope this gets ported to Windows. I use Linux, but many of my friends don’t and won’t.

Same

khorovodoved,

WSL?

bear_with_a_hammer,

What protocol does hTorrent use to communicare with BitTorrent peers? Webtorrent uses WebRtc which is incompatible with most torrent clients today

gc_,

Could anyone tell me about how torrent streaming works? Is it just the file being downloaded to a server and streamed to a bunch of viewers, or something else?

Spacellary,

I use WebTorrent / WebTorrent-CLI and it basically streams/partially downloads the torrent and plays in your player of choice.

Not sure about this other option here.

Hmm, I wonder if this could be aadapted to a Stremio plugin.

Jacoolh,

I was just about to ask this.

I didn't know that we did, but yes, apparently! lol :O

That is awesome.

kratoz29,

I have not been able to check it out myself, so if you do please share the experience :D

The_Mixer_Dude,

Is this the same as Plex’s ‘watch together’ feature?

csfirecracker,

This seems like a cool project, I’ll have to try it out!
