p2psp/i-want-to-use-it

Minimal, basic and always (we try) updated information about how to use P2PSP

Welcome to the Peer-to-Peer Straightforward Protocol (P2PSP) Project!

P2PSP is a protocol for the streaming of real-time video/audio sequences on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. In this repository you can find an implementation.

This is a description of the files/directories:

• doc: information about compiling, using, etc. P2PSP.

• README.md: this file.

• src: the implementation.

• tools: some useful scripts.

More information about the protocol at:

• Visit P2PSP Webpage

Thanks for downloading the P2PSP and happy broadcasting!

The P2PSP team.

i-want-to-use-it's Issues

Add Boost download and compilation before use it

There is a problem using Boost from the package repositories in some OS (for example, Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS). We think that a good solution could be to include in the file make.py an option to compile p2psp-console using downloaded (and compiled) version of Boost. The compilation of Boost could be stored in a temporal directory inside p2psp-console.

Unable to run a peer

While trying to use the library to run a peer using this one command mentioned in Readme
./peer --splitter_addr 150.214.150.68 --splitter_port 4552 > /dev/null &
vlc http://localhost:9999 &

I tried mpv http://localhost:9999 &

I kept getting these errors -
