#Development The only files changed from the SimpleHTTPServer are:
- filesystem/helper.py
- http_server/server.py
- run.py
- config.py
The http api is http://local-ip:5555/magnet:?xt=... e.g
# Play A boy and his dog (1975) movie
http://localhost:5555/magnet:?xt=urn:btih:601ddebcfb064ced0ad506b7c908e54291fa08c7&dn=A+Boy+and+His+Dog+%281975%29+1080p+BrRip+x264+-+YIFY&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969
This will the torrent metadata and return a json object with information about the files of the torrent. A folder with the hash of the torrent in the static_files/_torrents folder. To start streaming a file you just insert the link of the video/audio/pdf like this: http://localhost:5555/_torrents/[folder name]/[file name] e.g
http://localhost:5555/_torrents/601ddebcfb064ced0ad506b7c908e54291fa08c7/A Boy and His Dog (1975) [1080p]/A.Boy.and.His.Dog.1975.1080p.BluRay.x264.YIFY.mp4
If you run this on raspberry you can control omxplayer with this: http://localhost:5555/_omx/play/_torrents/[folder name]/[file name]
