Show HN: Nodejs and Peerflix torrent streaming working in an Android App

[turkeytorrent]

I just released an Android App that I believe is the first to use the Peerflix torrent streamer running under Node. I started this about 6 months ago as a “I wonder if this is possible” side project. I then gradually fixed more and more issues in various parts of the stack until I had an App that works reasonably well. For anybody interested in trying it out it is available in the Play Store:

Anyway happy to answer any questions about the implementation.

This works really great. Nice one. I thought it would have issues seeking however after a moment getting the pieces everything went smoothly again, superb.

Chromecast would be pretty awesome ;)

Thanks for the feedback!

Chromecast/Airplay/DNLA support is coming soon...

How about torrents with multiple files? Will it play one after the other?

It will automatically detect multi file torrents and then allow you to choose which file to play
