Usage

To try out peerflix start it with a magnet link or torrent file

peerflix magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e --vlc

peerflix will print a terminal interface. this first line contains a address to a http server. Using --vlc will open the file in vlc when it's ready to stream.

Simply open this address in vlc or similar to start viewing the file. If the torrent contains multiple files peerflix will choose the biggest one.

To get a full list of available options run

peerflix --help
