webtorrent-mpv-hook

Adds a hook that allows mpv to stream torrents using webtorrent.

Prerequisites

• node.js

Install

1. npm install --global webtorrent-mpv-hook
2. You need to symlink a script file to your mpv scripts folder.
   Run webtorrent-mpv-hook for instructions.
   You only need to do this once.

Update

npm update --global webtorrent-mpv-hook

Usage

mpv <torrent-id>

Where torrent-id is one of:

• magnet link
• info-hash

An overlay will be shown with info/progress. It will be closed automatically when playback starts.
It can also be toggled manually with p (default).

Multi-file torrents are opened as a playlist.
