- rwmj 6y agoBitTorrent (v1) supports streaming if your client knows the appropriate way to prioritize packets. I've written a streaming client using libtorrent-rasterbar and it worked fine. What's the problem?
- armitron 6y agoNothing stops you from downloading pieces in a specific order that allows for streaming. It's the client that determines order, not the bittorrent protocol.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoPopcorn time has some support to start playing before full file download.
- m00dy 6y agowell, I meant live streaming here.
- FridgeSeal 6y agoThat would require mutable torrents correct?
- m00dy 6y agoyeah, that is one way to do that.
- lucb1e 6y agoUm, now this is the third subcomment; you could have edited your original comment.
- crazygringo 6y agoThat seems like such a fundamentally different architecture is needed, why would you want that to be part of BitTorrent rather than its own protocol? What is your opinion of existing P2PTV apps, is something missing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2PTV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2PTV (I don't know much about the space.)
