Unfinished attempt at streaming video torrents (MKV, MP4, AVI) using libtorrent python bindings

cloudburst's Issues

Progress slider on release

Progress slider should not emit signal until released

Add more video support

Mostly .avi and .mp4 (check if there are any other common formats)

Black rectangle on video

Top left corner of video frame has a black rectangle of unknown origin

Add torrent buffer progress callback

Can request the progress from 0 to 1, for a better UX

Option to save .torrent files in custom directory

For BTN/PTP integration

Add multipart video file support

Currently only downloads a single file

Get a better icon

Create method to deal with multipart video files

For example

Movie.Part.1.avi
Movie.Part.2.avi

etc

Video controls transparency

Video controls are not transparent but black instead

Stream from memory

Stream piece by piece, from memory, no disk access required

May not be possible. Explore this.

Non video files inside torrent should be set to skip

Custom border frame

Hide default window decorations and create a better one

Possibly a single button for settings

Disk space check

Check user data disk for required disk space
or
delete torrent pieces after being played (less disk space but seeking will need to rebuffer)
or
stream from memory (seeking will need to rebuffer)

VLC warning/error in console

main vout display error: Failed to set on top

Find cause and fix

VLC warning

Warning: option --plugin-path no longer exists.

Unknown cause

is it compatible with heroku

Delete pieces from torrent that have been played to conserve disk space

Initialize torrent before buffering needs to start

For example: when movie is selected, a screen shows with movie details (length genre etc). When play is pressed, buffering will start.
Make sure the torrent gets initialized before play is pressed. Torrent init always takes a while.

Video hotkeys

NYI

Mouse hold disappear

Mouse pointer should not disappear when holding a button (like dragging a slider)

Improve torrent startup speed

File allocation takes too long

Can be fixed with better allocation or streaming from memory

Implement peer check method

To ensure peers are not lost during download

Progress slider click

Clicking the progress slider should go to that point or do a small time jump. Now it does nothing.

Avi video user option to buffer entire file

An incomplete avi file cannot seek. It can be streamed from the start.

Before starting the video, ask the user if they want to preload the entire file (so its technically not streaming) so they can seek or just play it streaming.

Remove temporary data at sensible time

Remove video file.

When?
After movie ends, or movie stopped?

Empty cache on startup/shutdown? Untracked files can quickly cause space issues

Limit download/upload speeds

Optionally a setting
