BitPlay is a self-hosted Go web application that streams video content directly from torrents (magnet links or .torrent files) in the browser without full downloads. It includes a web UI, SOCKS5 proxy support, Prowlarr/Jackett search integration, on-the-fly MKV remuxing via ffmpeg, and subtitle handling.
Use cases
- stream video torrents in the browser without downloading first
- play magnet links directly in a web app
- search torrents through Prowlarr or Jackett from one interface
- remux MKV files on the fly for browser playback
- pick audio tracks and subtitles while streaming
- self-host a torrent streaming server behind basic auth
- route torrent traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy
When to choose
- you want browser-based torrent streaming without a full download client
- you already run Prowlarr or Jackett and want integrated search
- you need MKV remuxing and audio/subtitle track support during playback
- you want a lightweight self-hosted Docker deployment
When to avoid
- you need a full download manager or media library like Plex/Jellyfin
- you require HTTP proxy support (only SOCKS5 is supported)
- you want to download and seed torrents long-term
- you need playback of codecs unsupported by browsers without external players
