piratestream

A command line interface for streaming from the Pirate Bay torrent lists and piping directly to VLC. Search for a torrent, select the one you want, watch it as it starts to stream directly, no waiting required.

It's like normal piracy, but for impatient people with decent bandwidth.

Install with npm install -g piratestream

You must have peerflix installed for it to work, so you will also need to run npm install -g peerflix

Run it interactively piratestream

Play a film piratestream -s "my favourite film or tv show"

Play whole albums piratestream -a -s "some musician and their album name"

See all the options piratestream --help

You can seek back through your history with the up and down keys, like with bash. History is saved in .piratestream_history.json in your home directory.
