Opening the webapp on a phone/laptop/tablet/smartTV.\n2. Searching for content.\n3. Selecting desired video file.\n4. Waiting for Download/Conversion.\n5. Playing on the device or cast to AppleTV/Chromecast\n\n## Features:\n\n-   Uses [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) as a search backend.\n-   Pick individual video files you want to play and the system takes care of the rest to make it streamable.\n-   Automatic download of Closed Captions/Subtitles\n-   Automatically converts the video file and subtitles to be playable on all browsers/chromecast/appletv\n-   Automatically converts audio that is unsupported by browsers to AAC\n-   Allows registering as a handler for any magnet link\n-   Automatically cleans up disk space so you don't need to manage it yourself\n-   Kodi support\n\n## Demo:\n\n![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2439255/48429861-44b60b00-e76e-11e8-8bdb-042f125357ce.gif)\n\n## Setting up Jackett as a search backend:\n\nRapidbay requires the torrent indexer [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) for searching.\nHave a look [here](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#installation-using-docker) on how to set it up using Docker.\n\nThere's also a [docker-compose example](https://github.com/hauxir/rapidbay/blob/master/docker-compose.example.with.jackett.yml) file to show how you can connect rapidbay and jackett together.\n\n## Running:\n\nRequires Docker\n\n```\ndocker run -p 5000:5000 -e JACKETT_HOST=\"http://your.jacket.host\" -e JACKETT_API_KEY=\"YourAPIKey\" hauxir/rapidbay\n```\n\nApp will be running at http://localhost:5000\n\n## Subtitles\n\nYou'll need a VIP account at OpenSubtitles.org for it to work:\n```\n-e OPENSUBTITLES_USERNAME=someusername -e OPENSUBTITLES_PASSWORD=yourpassword\n```\n### Configuring which subtitles to download:\n\nThe default setting downloads english subtitles.\n\nAdd the env variable SUBTITLE_LANGUAGES to your docker params like so to get more languages:\n\n```\n-e SUBTITLE_LANGUAGES=\"['en', 'de', 'es']\"\n```\n\n## Require a password:\n\nAdd the env variable PASSWORD to your docker params like so to prompt for a password when opening rapidbay:\n\n```\n-e PASSWORD=YOURPASSWORD\n```\n\n## Registering as a handler for any magnet link:\n\n-   Go to https://\\\u003cRAPIDBAY_HOST\\\u003e/registerHandler and it should prompt you to register your running RapidBay instance as a default handler for torrent links on any torrent site!\n-   You can also copy/paste a magnet link directly into the search bar to open magnet links manually.\n\n## Developing\n\nRequires Docker + docker-compose\n\n```\ndocker-compose up\n```\n\n## Running RapidBay on a VPS\n\n[Setting RapidBay up on a VPS and tunnel torrent traffic through NordVPN](https://github.com/hauxir/rapidbay/wiki/Setting-RapidBay-up-on-a-VPS-and-tunnel-torrent-traffic-through-NordVPN)\n\n## Using Kodi as a frontend\n\n[Setting up Rapidbay with Kodi](https://github.com/hauxir/rapidbay/wiki/Setting-up-Rapidbay-with-Kodi)\n\n## Using Real Debrid caching\n\n-   You can speed up downloads by using the torrent cache at real debrid\n-   To do that set the env variable RD_TOKEN to the one on https://real-debrid.com/apitoken\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhauxir%2Frapidbay","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhauxir%2Frapidbay","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhauxir%2Frapidbay/lists"}
