popcorn is free software and it is fracking awesome!!
the only downside is that you are limited to the series and movies which are
listed in popcorn. It would be nice if you could just add a magnet link and
stream whatever you want..I for myself really enjoy older movies (seventies
mainly)
Today I was thinking about this and then I remembered qbittorrent's function
to download torrents in sequential order - then immediately an idea popped
into my mind and I had a 2+2=4 moment..
You can open qbittorrent and search for a movie (lets say Europa by Lars von
Trier, which you can't find in popcorn) - the search gives you the number of
seeds - you choose the max, id est the first one and you start the download.
Wait a minute or two and then click on the avi.part(or mkv.part or whatever
the format is) - it'll get opened with vlc (play as it is) - and here you
have it - a flawless stream of any mutimedia file you can find on the net
(given the sufficient amount of seeders and download speed)..
:)
p.s - I want to make it clear that I am against copyright and I find it
really annoying to pay 20 euros for a dvd; especially when the movie is
something as stupid and worthless as, let's say, "the interview" which is the
latest shit I spent my time on and regret it..
But I also think that artists must be supported, financially supported, for
their effort!! So, if you stream a movie and really like it and reckon it is
worth the price (the ridiculosly excessive price dvds cost nowadays) BUY THAT
DVD - SUPPORT THE GOOD WORK of the moving pictures maestros!!!
