I'm willing to bet about $5 that simanovv.dev is passng the wrong thing to the webtorrent constructor or init function (which eventually gets passed to parsetorrent as seen above) and its falling through to that last else statement where it throws that error
Good old javascript.
we even got a new TypeError Constructor
because its nicer to split the general runtime errors from such typeerrors
but webtorrent did not got updated
the name of the error type (TypeError vs Error) is cool and all, but the real way to solve this is with the error message.
First of all, any proper error message will use the word "because". 2nd of all, the reason given in the because should match what the code is doing.
The correct error message would have said something like
parseTorrent() was aborted because it recieved an object containing the properties [statusCode, headers, body, etc etc] but the required property 'infoHash' was missing
i wish there would be more people like you forest
i am always searching for simplicity but i find it no where
thats why i am inventing my own Language at present Stealify Lang
Stealify is a term invented by me and means to steal but do it in a awsome way
the core of stealify lang is a fast ultimative compiler feedback with such nice errors as you demonstrated just now
Stealify aims to teach coders while coding via fast compiler feedback even on runtime
You inspired me to now add a new position i need people who write good meaningfull error messages
Is there any benchmark for this project out there
or has anyone built a streaming service on the top of this ?
BitTorrent was designed to transmit large static files -- the entire content of the file must be known before the swarm starts sharing pieces of the file
In that way, it's not suitable for streaming
I have heard of some other projects that may have used bits and pieces of WebTorrent for video streaming .. Here is one https://github.com/Novage/p2p-media-loader
is any one in here running on ubuntu core or at last a linux distro with snapd installed? On a Device that supports pinch zoom?
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> I was thinking of creating 5 video tags and load all chunks, but keeping the next 4 hidden, then excluding when each video reachs the end
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> But I'm not sure how smooth that would be
irc-discord-bot <04BJSamuel> Hi, I have this magnet URI magnet:?xt=urn:btih:BCW2LJ5GDA5K4HQJ3AY56Z2I2VTASWQQ&dn=Sintel&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969 from qBittorrent I am able to get the files but not with this library. can you pls help me? I observed that all the magnet uris in the document ends with an extension. Do I need to change my uri to any other format??
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> Then clear the buffer, start recording another 30s and so on.
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> The thing is: it works for the first magnet, but the subsequent are not working and I'm not sure why. Possibly an issue while changing the magnet uri for the video OR not being able to download the new chunk in time OR some issue on the streamer side, when creating multiple torrent seeds.
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> But the blobs have size, the video is fine, it works fine for the first 30s and the magnet uri is being generated without errors
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> If this works, we can call this a live streaming with 30s of delay. If I improve it somehow to 15s it would be very acceptable.
@06Jeff @m00dy @forestjohnson:cyberia.club I had started a streaming project using webtorrent. If anyone is interested in continuing it, here's the repository: https://github.com/valverde-marcelo/liveontorrent
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> @valverde-marcelo looks really great!
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> Congrats!
irc-discord-bot <06Jeff> it's almost the same I've been doing. But for some reason, it only creates the first slice successfully
@06Jeff please see https://github.com/valverde-marcelo/liveontorrent/blob/main/js/seed.js
