1.2 KiB

A kodi addon for watching content hosted on Peertube (http://joinpeertube.org/)

This code is still proof-of-concept but it works, and you're welcome to improve it.

Functionalities

  • Browse all videos on a PeerTube instance
  • Search for videos on a PeerTube instance (Only supported by 1.0.0-beta10+ instances)
  • Select Peertube instance to use (Doesn't work yet)

User settings

  • User definable preferred PeerTube instance
  • Number of videos to display per page
  • Sort method to be used when listing videos (Currently, only 'views' and 'likes')

Limitations

  • This addon doesn't support Webtorrent yet. So, it cannot download/share from/to regular PeerTube clients. The reason is that it uses the libtorrent python libray which doesn't support it yet (see https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/223)
  • The addon doesn't delete the downloaded files atm. So, it may fills up your disk
  • Currently, the addon always download the smallest file it can found for any video you want to play. So, video quality is mostly low.

Requirements

  • Kodi 17 or above
  • libtorrent python bindings (https://libtorrent.org/). On Debian type apt install python-libtorrent as root.
