tv.js's Introduction

tv.js : Apple TV for Torrent Streaming

A Smart TV application to stream movies using BitTorrent. (Yes it actually streams them in order even though it's BitTorrent)

Tv.js used iTunes' API to find movies, isoHunt to search torrents and BitTorrent to downloading/stream movies.

It runs as a server which can run on a Raspberry Pi and the UI can be controlled from a smartphone (no need of keyboard or mouse).

Tv.js is the result of a 24h personal hackathon (7th of July 2013) by Aaron O'Mullan (@AaronO) and me (@SamyPesse).

It's designed to run on a TV screen (through HDMI), but works just as well on a laptop. (it's entirely usable with keyboard controls alone)

You can see a video of it working here on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j71NCZnLffg

Downloading copyrighted material through torrents may be illegal in your country.

How to use it on your computer ?

To build and run the app, you'll need :

node
make
ffmpeg
homebrew

To build and run the all :

make install
make

And go to http://localhost:8888 on your browser

Or simply run the server without rebuilding the client with :

make run

How to install it on your TV ?

This application has been built and designed to run on a TV screen using a Raspberry Pi. Follow this tutorial to install TV.js on your Raspberry Pi

How to install ffmpeg ?

tv.js needs ffmpeg to convert the videos to ogv, make sure you have ffmpeg installed with the necessary codecs.

Mac OS X :

ruby <(curl -fsSk https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)

brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools

Todo

- Use IMBD or another API with a bigger movie collection than Itunes'
- Cache converted videos
- Improve overall stability
- Improve torrent picking algorithm (by seeds/leechers, size, votes, video format ...)
- Package using NodeWebkit for Windows/Mac/Linux/Raspberry PI
- Correct boot on Raspberry Pi
- Add other awesome stuff!

tv.js's Issues

Error: Cannot find module 'connect'

Hi,

I can't launch the app, there is an error :

~/tv.js/tv.js-master $ make run
/usr/bin/node bin/run.js

Thanks in advance !

Potentially wrong path to yapp in the Makefile

I've just tried building the app.

Make install works just fine but make takes a wrong route to yapp.

YAPP = node_modules/yapp/bin/yapp.js

However, yapp is actually installed in

node_modules/yapp.js/bin/yapp.js

I'm running the latest node. I didn't want to issue a pull request because this might be specific to this particular node.

Can't make

I'm running “make” after “make install”:

$ make
node_modules/yapp/bin/yapp.js -d public/main build
bash: node_modules/yapp/bin/yapp.js: No such file or directory
make: *** [build] Error 127

Prioritize MP4 movies using x264 to avoid transcoding

This is quite an important improvement, since it would reduce CPU and power consumption by avoiding having to convert the movie.

Most movies are available as MP4's with the x264 video codec, which Chrome supports, so it would be a good idea supporting this and falling back to converting the video only if necessary.

This would involve two things :

Ranking x264 torrents first
Skip the transcoding in the streaming api endpoint if the current movie doesn't need to be converted

Is it possible to make similar twitch.tv system?

host:port/remote appears as blank on iPhone display

On Safari's error log:

undefined: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object.

When trying in desktop chrome, and setting the agest to iphone ios 5 - it works.

Error Trying to Run

Whenever I search everything works, but once I start running the movie it says buffering to 1% and after 5-10 minutes of waiting I get this error:

/tv.js/node_modules/q/q.js:120
                    throw e;
                          ^

    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:983:19)
make: *** [run] Error 1

Please let me know how I can fix this. I would really like to run this.

Blank page when accessing to http://localhost:8888/ (OSX 10.8.4)

Hello guys,

I tried to run the project on a Mac (OSX 10.8.4), following the steps of the README, but when I go to http://localhost:8888/, I only see a blank page.

Also, the browser says that paths static/application.css and static/application.js doesn't exists (404 error).

Debug info:

HTML of http://localhost:8888/::

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Main</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="static/application.css">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="static/application.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body></body>

Awesome Job!!

There isn't a comments section, so you can close this issue, but just wanted to say that this is a crazy and awesome project!

Add support for airplay

Why not using https://github.com/benvanik/node-airplay for adding the option to stream the video to an apple tv (or compatible airplay devices)

var browser = require('airplay').createBrowser();
browser.on('deviceOnline', function(device) {
    device.play('http://192.168.0.19:8888/api/stream', 0);
});
browser.start();

But it will need to convert video stream to mp4.
Some infos about Airplay streaming : Preparing Your Media and Server for AirPlay

Misleading description

The description states "Apple TV for Torrent Streaming in JS (Node/Chrome)" yet it is unclear how it does make use of an Apple TV.

Raspberry Pi Installation Instructions: Step 9 Broken

Step 9 doesn't seem to be working correctly.

It looks like init.d doesn't do anything after launching X.

I had to make two files in /home/pi/.config/autostart/

chrome.desktop which has:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=chromium --kiosk http://localhost:8888

and .desktop which has
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/etc/init.d/tvjs.sh

Open source license?

This project is really neat and it seems to have gained a lot of interest. However, it is lacking a license which would allow people to use it flexibly in an open source context.

Without a explicit license, code is "is protected by copyright and is by default All Rights Reserved" (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007674/whats-the-default-license-of-code-published-at-github).

Would you like to release this software under an open source license? If so, please include a LICENSE file.

It's your code, of course, and you can do with it as you wish. Just a friendly suggestion/request. =)

Cheers!

Peer Blocklist

Could you add support for peer blocklists?
For example, to download this: http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz and prevent malicious peers?

API Suggestion

In your 'To Do' section, you mentioned:

Use IMBD or another API with a bigger movie collection that Itunes'

IMDB does not have an API, but I would highly recommend The Movie DB (http://www.themoviedb.org/).

Remote images missing

Remote build fails as there is no images directory under public/remote/ressources/

Connect to 0.0.0.0/remote/

The initial page loads and says "Connect a remote control by visiting 0.0.0.0/remote/ on your smartphone". I tried loading 192.168.0.107 (my Pi's local IP) and 0.0.0.0 which I'm assuming is an error, and neither could be reached.

Any ideas about what's going on here?

Make a raspbmc plugin for this :)

Username required for download?

Tried installing tv.js from github and it is asking for a user/pass - I put my user/pass in and get no love. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Torrent API with more/better results

If I use another (unnamed) torrent search engine, I get results with nearly 7000 seeders for a certain unnamed search, while I get a result of 8 seeders for the same unnamed search.

Seems like there might be a better option?

BUFFERING MOVIE TO 1%, PLEASE WAIT

video.js.map 404

I'm getting a 404, file cannot be located, error in regards to video.js.map. Is this the reason I'm having difficulty downloading anything?

Error Streaming on Raspberry Pi

Error in Deferred callbacks (file: undefined line: undefined) : ReferenceError : MediaError is not defined ReferenceError: MediaError is not defined

It says this happens at multiple different places.

Change torrent search from isoHunt to Kickass Torrents or something else ...

Error launching the app on osx

Slow On RapsberryPi

Is the yutube demo showcasing tv.js showing a raspberrypi?

I've got tv.js successfully installed on my raspberrypi but it is running unbearably slow.
When trying to search I am getting 1 minute delays between autocomplete refreshes for each letter typed.

My pi is overclocked to 900Mhz

I'm trying to figure our if there is something wrong with my configuration or is this a limitation of the pi's hardware? If it is the latter then I don't think the pi is the right platform for this project.
