A Node.js smart TV application that searches for movies via iTunes' API and isoHunt, then streams them over BitTorrent directly to a TV-connected browser UI. It runs as a server (e.g., on a Raspberry Pi) with a smartphone- or keyboard-controlled interface and uses ffmpeg for video conversion.
Use cases
- stream movies from torrents to a TV
- turn a Raspberry Pi into a torrent streaming media box
- search and play movies from a browser UI
- stream video in order over BitTorrent
- control a TV media app from a smartphone
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted torrent-streaming TV interface on a Raspberry Pi
- you want to study how sequential BitTorrent video streaming works in Node.js
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or stable media center
- downloading copyrighted torrents is illegal in your country
- you need Windows packaging or modern browser support
