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
