WebTorrent doesn't play the movie about browsertime HOT 9 CLOSED

A better example, when pasting this in your chrome console on localhost:3000, when browsertime is started, it will work. But when changing it to something like magnet:?xt=urn:btih:21AC20E0976C373B8372D1637F075AD0BEEFCAD6&dn=the+last+witch+hunter+2015+720p+webrip+x264+aac+etrg&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fglotorrents.pw%3A6969%2Fannounce it never will.

var client = new WebTorrent()

var torrentId = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6a9759bffd5c0af65319979fb7832189f4f3c35d'

client.add(torrentId, function (torrent) {
  // Torrents can contain many files. Let's use the first.
  var file = torrent.files[0]

  // Display the file by adding it to the DOM. Supports video, audio, image, etc. files
  file.appendTo('body')
})

Hi

In webtorrrent faq

Why does browser downloading not work? I see no peers!

It does work! But you can't just use any random magnet uri or .torrent file. The torrent must be seeded by a WebRTC-capable client, i.e. webtorrent-hybrid, instant.io, or Playback.

In the browser, WebTorrent can only download torrents that are explicitly seeded to web peers via a WebRTC-capable client. Desktop torrent clients need to support WebRTC to connect to web browsers.

And someone report this:
webtorrent/webtorrent#565

So I am not sure,please check it.

from browsertime.

True, we have to basically reseed all the movies to work with the protocol. So that's where I'm currently working on.

from browsertime.

Are there any alternative solutions to use webtorrent that would allow us to use pre-seeded torrents? If thats not an option, what is the solution you're looking to impliment?

from browsertime.

I'm still looking for the best way to do it and if I really have to reseed all the torrents to webtorrent.
If so, I'll start with like 5 movies and let the users then add more torrents with just a seed-client build in electron. We just have to host a tracker to locate all the torrents and that's it.

from browsertime.

I found webtorrent need to connect to tracker.webtorrent.io

How about use own tracker?

And since its with p2p network,if any people watch the video and upload the video,they could be a seed too or only one original seed?

@fonewoda If you take a look at a random magnet link you will see there is a tr param: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:00f4b0b91b84cacfbb08d3256fc3470d639d81f0&dn=Modern+Talking+-+The+Hits+%282007%29+-+Disco+&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969
we can replace this with our own and use it that way.

They could be a seed too but they need something like a torrent client installed though. They can't do it from there browser.

@KeizerDev so other user can't be seed,only one seed upload the video,but the seed bandwidth is limit,will it be very slow when watch video or need huge bandwidth?Thanks.

from browsertime.

We manage to fix this. Release soon.
