BitPlay Torrent Streaming Web App: Stream Torrents Instantly in Your Browser

Revolutionizing Media Consumption

Modern users demand instant access to digital content. Traditional torrent methods present two critical limitations: prolonged download times (averaging 30+ minutes for HD content) and substantial local storage requirements (20-45GB per 4K movie). BitPlay’s web-based torrent streaming solution eliminates both pain points, enabling playback initiation within 60 seconds of adding a torrent.

Core Technical Architecture

1. Progressive Streaming Engine

Built with Go’s concurrency model, BitPlay implements intelligent data prioritization:

• Pre-fetches 5-minute playback buffers
• Utilizes sequential piece selection
• Maintains <15% CPU usage during 1080p streaming

2. Cross-Platform Compatibility

• Responsive web interface (Mobile/Desktop)
• HTML5 video player with hardware acceleration
• Auto-converted VTT subtitles from SRT

3. Privacy Protection

• Full SOCKS5 proxy support (IP masking)
• Zero DNS/IP leaks in testing
• Compatible with Shadowsocks/V2Ray protocols

Deployment Methods

Docker Installation (Recommended)

docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
  bitplay:
    image: ghcr.io/aculix/bitplay:main
    ports:
      ◦ "3347:3347"

    volumes:
      ◦ ./config:/app/config

    restart: unless-stopped

Terminal commands:

mkdir -p ./config && docker-compose up -d

Update existing installations with:

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

Native Go Environment

For developers/testing:

git clone https://github.com/aculix/bitplay.git
cd bitplay && go mod download
PORT=3347 go run main.go

System requirements:

• Go 1.18+
• 512MB+ RAM allocation

Troubleshooting Guide

Playback Issues

1. Buffering Solutions

   • Verify proxy bandwidth capacity
   • Enable “Preload Buffer” (10MB recommended)

   # Nginx buffer configuration example
   proxy_buffers 16 4k;
   proxy_buffer_size 2k;
   

2. Subtitle Rendering

   • Convert to UTF-8 encoding:

   iconv -f original_encoding -t UTF-8 input.srt > output.srt
   

   • Manual VTT upload supported

Search Failures

• Confirm API endpoint accessibility
• Verify indexer categories (Movies/TV enabled)

Security Enhancements

HTTPS Encryption

Nginx reverse proxy configuration
server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name bitplay.yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3347;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

Maintenance Practices

• Weekly log rotation:

find /path/to/logs -name "*.log" -mtime +7 -delete

• Monthly config cleanup:

rm -f /path/to/config/*.tmp

Development Roadmap

• Browser Extension (Q3 2024)

  • One-click streaming from torrent sites
  • Cross-platform bookmark sync

• HLS Transcoding (In Development)

  • Adaptive bitrate streaming
  • Widevine DRM support

• P2P CDN Network (Testing Phase)

  • Distributed caching nodes
  • 40% bandwidth reduction
