zenshin.

A web and electron based anime torrent streamer which can stream torrents in the browser and on the VLC media player as well.

Electron Port (Beta) :

Summary

Built it as a mini project to familiarize myself with video streaming using ExpressJS and handling of streams and APIs in a ReactJS based frontend webapp.

Note: The video player in the browser currently does not support subtitle rendering as extracting embedded subtitles from an mkv file is quite tricky and is way out of my league. To play the video with subtitles open it in VLC by clicking on the Open VLC button when playing an episode.

VLC Media Player Support

Define the path to vlc.exe in BACKEND/server.js :

  const vlcPath = '"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe"'; // Adjust this path as needed
