Introduction

This is a simple graphical interface that allows us to do many operations with multiple claims and channels in the LBRY network, including:

• download individual claims or the latest claims from a list of channels
• list all claims belonging to a channel, and the latest claims in our subscribed channels
• list all our created channels and our published claims
• list all our downloaded claims
• show information on the peers that host the content of a channel in the network
• delete multiple downloaded claims, individually or by channel
• show our LBC supports, and change or remove these supports
• search trending claims, and search by keyword
• show an estimate of our seeding ratio

It uses the lbrytools library to add more functionality to the basic lbrynet daemon.

This program is released as free software under the MIT license.

Installation

Use Git to clone this repository with --recurse-submodules to include lbrytools with the rest of the code:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/belikor/lbrydseed

After cloning you should have the following structure:

lbrydseed/
    dseed.py
    lbrytools/
    lbseed/

If you place dseed.py somewhere else, make sure it is always next to lbrytools/ and lbseed/.

See installation for more information on the dependencies.

Usage

Make sure the lbrynet daemon is running either by launching the full LBRY Desktop application, or by starting the console lbrynet program:

lbrynet start

Double click dseed.py or open a Python console and run it from the terminal:

python dseed.py

See usage for more information on each page in the program.

Development

Ideally, this collection of tools can be merged into the official LBRY sources so that everybody has access to them. Where possible, the tools should also be available from a graphical interface such as the LBRY Desktop application.

lbrydseed's Issues

lbryseed appimage

It would be great if this could be packaged so that it were more easy to install, for example as an Appimage. If there were a .deb that would be terrific.

Or perhaps the LBRY development team could integrate this functionality into the LBRY client. They surely want people to seed content. Have they been notified?

Lbry tools address is wrong in readme.md
