After desperately trying to find a working pirate stream of the fight last night, I learned about Acestream, and I was very surprised that a working P2P live stream service already exists.
But last night the service seemed to really struggle with the extremely high volumes, despite the fact that it should only get better with more peers.
After doing some research it seems that this software is perhaps not in the best hands, and I think this is terribly disappointing. I think all efforts should be put into creating a better, FOSS torrent/live stream protocol that is easily compatible with many video players (including mpv)
How do we go about this /g/?

Is there any official documentation out there on P2P streaming?

It was great watching the stream in 3 second intervals

Ace Stream uses bittorrent and VLC I believe.
Freetards should be able to duplicate this.
PassthePopcorn kinda worked the same.

they usually inject adware into the streams and you end up infected with toolbar crap and hijacked search engines on your browser.
There's a linux port which probably doesn't have those problems but it's still proprietary except the engine.
Sopcast is another alternative which doesn't inject crap into the stream but it's also proprietary and less people use it for sports streams.

Tixati also have a P2P live streaming shit, still proprietary but probably with less bs. Tribler used to have some beta p2p livestreaming functionality but since dropped it from code, open source implementations at

It's not entirely like torrenting.
If the source seeder is knocked out of the network the whole stream goes down.

/g/ isn't going to do anything. No one here has the necessary skills. We wouldn't get past the logo.

how come vlc/mpv/etc. don't implement this?

I would guess the lack of foss devs caring, even the standard IETF PPSP library hasn't seen work in last 2 years.

I would've thought more people would want torrent streams

The problem is packet poisoning.

vlc does. just not as popular as acestream.

VLC streaming is not p2p based though, its conventional server/client architecture

Why though?
Imagine being able to stream Japanese tv 24/7 in 1080p quality. Or any TV in general. Better than these shitty 360p streams that get taken down easily.

Don't we have webtorrent?
