I am very happy to report that a new version of the +VLC +bittorrent plugin was just uploaded into debian. The changes +since last time is mostly code clean in the download code. The package +is currently in Debian unstable, but should be available in Debian +testing son. 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
+

+ +

It can also use magnet links and local .torrent files like the ones +provided by the Internet Archive. Another example is the Love Nest Buster +Keaton movie, where one can click on the 'Torrent' link to get going.

+ +

As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my +activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address +15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b.
