watchit-app's Issues

Exiting while status is closing causes the audio to continue playing anyway

I started playing a video and while it was still "connecting" I tried to close it and search for something else. Somehow the video continued to play in the background as I could hear the audio. The only way to stop it is to close the whole app and relaunch,

Request: Option to use already running IPFS on $PATH instead of using the bundled one

I would rather not run two instances of IPFS.

Status message is Resolving and then again prompt the public key

Hello,

i have just downloaded
https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app/releases/download/v0.2.0-alpha.1/watchit-0.2.0-alpha.1.AppImage
Ran it on my Linux Manjaro, it prompt public key. This was a bit confusing, but i have found it scrolling down the page https://watchitapp.site/

key: QmR9f898E2Y6H4rUqUQkB5g615wht1q4fxCPfZzxA4jXaR

Then it shown bootstrapping, then resolving then returns back to the screen where it prompts the public key.
I have seen no message which would explain why it not connected.

request: distribute via Flatpak

Title, basically, it would be nice to have a more distro agnostic distribution model which is not AppImage and which has some degree of isolation.

Stuck on Bootsrapping...

Im on windows 10 and the app keeps on bootsrapping after I put the Public Key

Weird scrollbar behaviour in non fullscreen

window.require is not a function

I got this error while trying to run npm run dev. I guess this might relate to webpack but not sure how to fix it.

perf: connectivity performance improvement

We have a problem of interoperability between web <=> desktop.
Since web cannot connect direct with TCP some extra "proxy steps" are needed to achieve interoperability between both envs in the current approach.
We can favor interoperability using exclusive js-ipfs (waiting for orbit to support helia)

Feature Request: Language and subtitles

I was thinking about using this for my own movie collection but many of my movies have multiple languages and/or subtitles.

Technically one could just use the quality parameter to hack your way around that but then you would have to store the complete movie in all possible variations. It would be nice to have audio and video separated. And also subtitles would be nice.

I might be able to implement the subtitles myself but the language one i definitely wont.

feat: integration of channels view

In the login reduce the login button in half, in the other half add two buttons one for local node and one to set the last public key by default, when clicking on local node make the button an input to enter the port of it knot

Improper display in non fullscreen

When one uses the app in not fullscreen the movies are still displayed like it was fullscreen and they get cut off on the right.

multiple languages

I was analyzing here it would be very useful to have a player that loads the audio separately from the image in this way if someone is watching something in another language you don't need to create another video just to have other audio options

The Desktop and Web app aren't working

They aren't working, I already tried the "Public Domain Movies Key" and also my key.
It says "Bootstraping" and "Resolving" and then comes back to the "Type public key" screen.

fix(web): remove localhost from gateways

Would you have the option to create an Android version using React ?

(SOLVED) Trying the new v0.1.0-beta.8.AppImage. Initialization public key not working

The initialization public key used to be on the github. I cant find it anymore.

Watchit is asking for it and that public key doesnt work anymore: QmR9f898E2Y6H4rUqUQkB5g615wht1q4fxCPfZzxA4jXaR

Therefore, cant run watchit

Stuck on connecting

Hi,
I am trying to use the web app but it seems to be stuck on connecting. Is there any fix for this?

Hangs at connecting

Very nice app. Thanks!
Im running Galacteek which does have ipfs router. Watchit does too therefore I cant run both at the same time. Watchit just hangs at connecting or resolving.

I could run the official ipfs router and disable the embedded ipfs router in Galacteek.
How can I disable the ipfs router in Watchit and make Watchit use the official ipfs router ?

Would be handy to have that option in settings.

Option to delete the movie

The application shares movies with the network depending on the streaming mechanism. In the case of torrents, you share parts of the movie only when you are watching it while others share you (TorrentNetwork). In the case of HLS it is very similar but in this case it depends if your node has the movie in the local repo, that is, if you have already watch the "movie" then it is temporarily cached in the local IPFS node and if someone else wants to watch the same "movie" then your node will have the expected behavior of transmitting part of the movie if another node requests it (BitSwap).

To make things easier.

1- Delete file option in the file page. Page with the play, trailer and description
2- Copy CID option. In the same page as above.

That way we could help seeding and manage as we please our files.
I share my blog, website etc over IPFS. My node run 24/7.

I've tested the new v0.1.0-beta.8. Now the file that I previously loaded is gone. I'll have to load the file again.
It would be better if the users could manage how they want to deal with their files.

New Edit
Note: I run Galacteek as IPFS node. Galacteek does support torrent. Im not a dev so im not sure if the "vanilla" IPFS-desktop can "torrent" but Galacteek sure does. Torrent and file-sharing.

Have a look if you want. My Galacteek instance run 24/7 here.
