fastcast's Issues

"Download file" and "Download *.torrent" don't work

wss://tracker.fastcast.nz no longer works

Tracker gives a 503 bad gateway for months now, whats going on?

not play correctly after switching video

first time ,everything works, but after switching video,
video automaticly enter 'playing' state (without pressing playing triangle)
but waiting circle always showing in playing area, nothing played
download progress can still to 100%

but if pause then play ,seems new video can play correctly

A little confused on purpose

Hey there, thanks for all the work on this!

Just wanted a quick clarification: can you stream LIVE video with Fastcast?

Thanks!

wss://tracker.fastcast.nz no longer works

Play webm videos?

Hi. What would it take to get fastcast to play webm videos?

Rebundle to update webtorrent

Website Down

Is there a reason for the website down? Was it costing too much to keep the server and DNS up? Or was the project not receiving enough help or support.

Server ERROR

When I go to https://fastcast.nz/ I get a 500 internal server error.

Accounts

Now I can see how you get the videos posted through an HTML form and PHP script but come time to make accounts and track information, like say likes and dislikes or number of times watched, how do you plan on doing things? Will it be more 4chan esc where you just post a new video and fill out a form and it just asks for a username each time and makes it otherwise anonymous. or do you have database method in mind?

ZeroNet site

I found a Fastcast site on ZeroNet with the name Fascast. It works pretty well, I was just wondering who created it? It would be cool to make it dynamic so it uses a database and people can add videos!

Can'nt play video

Try to play in Google Chrome http://fastcast.nz/videos/cityscape-chicago-ii.html with last webtorrent.min.js and VideoJS wrapper:

<html><head>
<link href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/5.4.4/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/webtorrent/latest/webtorrent.min.js"></script>
</head><body><script>
var client = new WebTorrent()
var torrentId = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:13da9cd10df5c414054065f5db762acb0570c86b&dn=cityscape-chicago-ii.mp4&tr=ws%3A%2F%2Ftracker.fastcast.nz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.webtorrent.io&ws=http%3A%2F%2Ffastcast.nz%2Fdownloads%2Fcityscape-chicago-ii.mp4&ws=http%3A%2F%2Ffastcast.nz%2Fdownloads%2Fcityscape-chicago-ii.mp4'
client.add(torrentId, function (torrent) {
var file = torrent.files[0]

file.renderTo('#YTAPI_html5_api', function (err, elem) {
 if (err) throw err
 console.log(elem)
})

})
</script>
<video id="YTAPI" name="YTAPI" class="video-js" autoplay controls preload="none" width="640" height="360" data-setup="{}">
</video>
<script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/5.4.4/video.js"></script>
</body></html>

Any restriction on fastcast.nz ?

Going Forward + Suggestion For Data Management

So I have some free time the coming months and really want to see this project progress some. So what are some goals that are had for the site going forward? I'm a novice in JS and can manage HTML and CSS fine mostly. I'm willing to try working on some tasks.

Something I'm really not qualified to do though, is since the WebTorrent software allows you to add a # and then the hash and it will download at the URL with the proper scripts. How about the site has a database callback for the thumbnail and such and then there's a video player page that's designed like however. Then you can have users upload a description.txt that can be appended so that you still have descriptions. So the upload form would upload the torrent to a path on the server and the only information that would need to be stored would be the magnet link and title, tag, and thumbnail information. The process could stop around here and be totally anonymous, but if we kept it going and tied the user to the torrent you could render user "Channels" or whatever you want to call them. To make the idea of having a file for description and one for video the file order would need to be universally the same like say always have the first character of the video filename be a period and if there's another file it has to come after the description.txt.

And I'm not sure how limited JS is but we may be able to use the api with https://github.com/feross/bittorrent-tracker so that when a video isn't being seeded it doesn't show on the page, or be faded to show that the tracker reads it as a dead torrent. I'm fairly certain this should be doable with JS and CSS

Fetching magnets from other websites

Hi!
I'am trying to fetch and play your torrent in http://cinematrix.one/ but they only seems to be working if i open your site in another browser tab with the video iam trying to stream. How come?

This also seem to be true when testing to download the files via https://instant.io/
