Peerflix VS Powder Player

When I used a Chromecast, I was fond of an even more direct method. I used a Node CLI called "peerflix" [0] to stream a video file while downloading its torrent (so there wasn't even a need to wait). Then I just opened my browser to the local network address where peerflix was hosting the h264 playlist, and used the Cast button to stream it to my device (which I believe technically means Chromecast "takes over"... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

This is something I've repeated like 10 times on this subreddit, but you don't need to wait for a torrent to finish to start watching it. Literally every torrent client in the past decade supports downloading first piece files first, so you don't have to wait for the download to finish and can start watching it immediately. There's even stuff like peerflix which makes it easier. Source: about 3 years ago

I don't stream torrents very much but if I do I'd just use Powder Player for this & feed it specific torrents I'd want to stream. (also see /r/PowderPlayer and /r/PowderTech). Source: over 2 years ago

There are also a few specialized torrent clients that are built specifically to stream media, those types of torrent clients will download sequentially by default. See for example Powder Player (also /r/PowderPlayer/), Popcorn Time (also /r/PopCornTimeApp/), and some others. Source: almost 3 years ago

Powder or maybe /r/WebTorrent will work. Source: almost 3 years ago
