Self hosted video on demand solution with keyword based torrent auto-download via PirateBay using TOR.
- Automatically download and transcode videos to quick preview format
- You can like video or make it best (separate views to navigate with huge amount of videos)
- Automatically remove seen but not liked videos
- Browse torrents (and possibility to make request of download by like it)
- Prevent filling up disk (by default downloads stops when 500GB free space)
- All downloads via TOR
- Tested on dedicated server (8core i7 + 32GB RAM + 6TB HDD) for 6 months -> video throughput ~300 per day
- 10 parallel downloads
- 1 transcoding (using all processor cores with renice of 20 aka lowest prio possible)
- 2-5 clients watching videos without any problems (not tested more)
- 4-6 load on server all the time (caused mostly by transcoding)
