Simple libtorrent streaming module

Simple libtorrent-based bittorrent streaming module

This is a small-as-it-gets python library able to handle multiple bittorrent downloads and bittorrent streaming (even multiple bittorrent streaming, theoretically, but who whould want that?)

Dependences

Requires libtorrent for python2 to be installed.

In debian and derivatives, this is accomplished by:

apt-get install python-libtorrent

Features

  • Play torrents in stream with mplayer
  • Very few lines of code
  • Multiple download of torrents

Usage

from SimpleTorrentStreaming import SimpleTorrentStreaming

Or, if you only want to play a torrent with mplayer:

stream_torrent "<magnet_link>"
