I'm getting the following error [1]

You also need to add support for https, I had to disable the HTTPS Everywhere addon.

You're getting errors as your API is dead: https://carsonplay.herokuapp.com/video/errors

This is a waste of time, herokuapp will get a DMCA and your app will die.

How is this trash on the HN front page? Is there no moderation at all?

Similar: https://instant.io/

You cannot stream many torrent on https://instant.io because it use web leechers.

What does meetchopra.com use?

I keep getting "Sorry the file format is not supported!" Could you provide some examples? And also, will my browser be streaming or is your server acting as a proxy?

Solved! Server Acting as Proxy

Please remain civil. While I agree that this is not frontpage material, there is no reason to talk like that.

Same for me. Some examples would be nice.

Does anyone have a convenient example to test this with?

I tried Big Buck Bunny (info hash a3fbda1961fbc908026ec7cc4569d5fbef840c1e) but got "Sorry the file format is not supported!".

EDIT: And a few minutes later, Firefox locked up and crashed. I hope this isn't malware.

I hope you registered that domain anonymously. And the hosting too. Also related: Popcorn Time

Any suggestions on how to do that? Asking for a friend
