New features in Webtor 1.7.0 🎉
🕑 Added 2020-05-27 21:27:24 +0000 UTCIt has been quite a while since the previous release, but it worth it!
Here is a list of key changes:
- Player SDK is already available! - Now you can embed the playback of torrent content in any site without extra effort. SDK with an example usage published to Github.
- Interface for selecting and displaying subtitles improved - it became much easier to select subtitles from a large list, as well as the opportunity to change subtitle size on the fly.
- Dark mode by default - now the main color scheme of the interface is solved in dark shades by default. They say it protects our eyes!
- Caching of downloaded content improved - now all downloaded content is saved for a day and does not require re-downloading from the BitTorrent network.
- WebRTC support - if several users watch the same movie, then they exchange fragments of it by the WebRTC protocol. This uses a private tracker. Only MP4 is currently supported. This was made possible thanks to the WebTorrent project.
Now all server components of the Webtor platform and SDK are available opensource:
- github.com/webtor-io - all opensources repositories
- github.com/webtor-io/helm-charts - all Helm-charts and installation instructions for Webtor API
- github.com/webtor-io/platform-sdk-js - client-side JS SDK to work with API Webtor
- github.com/webtor-io/platform-sdk-php - server-side PHP SDK to work with API Webtor (functionality is limited)

Hi! Thank you for your interest to my project! I've encountered link-hijacking few times in the near past and got penalty from my hoster for overuse of bandwidth. So I had to add some limitations. So when you copy link it will be played on other device only in case if external IP or User-Agent stay the same. In other words, if your player and your computer are in the same wifi/lan network (with the same external IP) you will be able to use content-link without troubles. To copy link to content just use "cog" in player menu and then "Copy stream url".

Thanks for your great work! Is there anyway to stream the torrents using an external player ? Web player works great though, I just configure some stuff at external players at times which I can't do with the web player

Hi! Yes it is possible to run 3 simultaneous players (with different content) with no ADS. And there is no limit of users that will be watching them.

How API-access with 3 concurrent seeders included! (On-demand) works? Its posible to use the no ads benefits on embed sdk player on our sites? if yes how many concurrent players can we run?
