# Webflix

**A lightweight web app wrapper for [peerflix](https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix). Just input a link to a torrent and the server opens up a stream available in the browser or from media players like VLC. I'm sure someone else already has done this.**

## Installation
```
git clone [email protected]:JoelBesada/webflix.git
cd webflix
npm install
npm install -g coffee-script
```

## Usage
Run `app/app.coffee` to start the server.

```
coffee app/app.coffee
```

The app accepts the following command-line options:

```
--user A username to be used in HTTP basic auth, has to be combined with --password
--password A password to be used in HTTP basic auth, has to be combined with --use
--port The port the web app will run on. Note that the stream will always be on port 8888.
```

Depending on the format of the stream, you can either view it directly in your web browser
or from a media player like VLC.
