Watch torrents with your friends. Contribute to pojntfx/multiplex development by creating an account on GitHub.
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 https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex
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?

I hope this gets ported to Windows. I use Linux, but many of my friends don’t and won’t.
Same
WSL?
This seems like a cool project, I’ll have to try it out!
Is this the same as Plex’s ‘watch together’ feature?
Hmm, I wonder if this could be aadapted to a Stremio plugin.
I was just about to ask this.
Check this
Don’t we already have Peario?
I didn’t know that we did, but yes, apparently! lol :O
That is awesome.
I have not been able to check it out myself, so if you do please share the experience :D

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.
What protocol does hTorrent use to communicare with BitTorrent peers? Webtorrent uses WebRtc which is incompatible with most torrent clients today
Is it in the aur
