Non-blocking bittorrent plugin for vlc
+
12th December 2018
+

A few hours ago, a new and improved version (2.4) of +the VLC +bittorrent plugin was uploaded to Debian. This new version +include a complete rewrite of the bittorrent related code, which seem +to make the plugin non-blocking. This mean you can actually exit VLC +even when the plugin seem to be unable to get the bittorrent streaming +started. The new version also include support for filtering playlist +by file extension using command line options, if you want to avoid +processing audio, video or images. The package is currently in Debian +unstable, but should be available in Debian testing in two days. To +test it, simply install it like this:

+ +

+apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
+

+ +

After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file +downloaded live via bittorrent like this: + +

+vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent
+

+ +
