# RapidBay
Rapid bay is a self hosted video service/torrent client that makes playing videos from torrents as easy as:
1. Opening the webapp on a phone/laptop/tablet/smartTV.
2. Searching for content.
3. Selecting desired video file.
4. Waiting for Download/Conversion.
5. Playing on the device or cast to AppleTV/Chromecast
## Features:
- Uses [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) as a search backend.
- Pick individual video files you want to play and the system takes care of the rest to make it streamable.
- Automatic download of Closed Captions/Subtitles
- Automatically converts the video file and subtitles to be playable on all browsers/chromecast/appletv
- Automatically converts audio that is unsupported by browsers to AAC
- Allows registering as a handler for any magnet link
- Automatically cleans up disk space so you don't need to manage it yourself
- Kodi support
## Demo:
## Setting up Jackett as a search backend:
Rapidbay requires the torrent indexer [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) for searching.
Have a look [here](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#installation-using-docker) on how to set it up using Docker.
There'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.
## Running:
Requires Docker
```
docker run -p 5000:5000 -e JACKETT_HOST="http://your.jacket.host" -e JACKETT_API_KEY="YourAPIKey" hauxir/rapidbay
```
App will be running at http://localhost:5000
## Subtitles
You'll need a VIP account at OpenSubtitles.org for it to work:
```
-e OPENSUBTITLES_USERNAME=someusername -e OPENSUBTITLES_PASSWORD=yourpassword
```
### Configuring which subtitles to download:
The default setting downloads english subtitles.
Add the env variable SUBTITLE_LANGUAGES to your docker params like so to get more languages:
```
-e SUBTITLE_LANGUAGES="['en', 'de', 'es']"
```
## Require a password:
Add the env variable PASSWORD to your docker params like so to prompt for a password when opening rapidbay:
```
-e PASSWORD=YOURPASSWORD
```
## Registering as a handler for any magnet link:
- Go to https://\/registerHandler and it should prompt you to register your running RapidBay instance as a default handler for torrent links on any torrent site!
- You can also copy/paste a magnet link directly into the search bar to open magnet links manually.
## Developing
Requires Docker + docker-compose
```
docker-compose up
```
