Seedess Guide

Seedess can be used to stream your existing videos over Bittorrent and browser P2P transparently. You can also stream video from BitTorrent directly.

P2P Streaming

Your existing videos can benefit greatly from transparent P2P streaming. Transparent P2P streaming allows viewers of your video to optimally share pieces of the video with each other while they watch - increasing the streaming capacity of your server and increasing video download speed.

Streaming directly from BitTorrent

To stream from BitTorrent in the browser all you need is a torrentId.

A torrentId can be an infoHash, magnet or .torrent file.

Quick magnet example

To stream a magnet, add the magnet to the seedess player URL, https://play.seedess.com/

Example magnet

The following magnet is for an mp4 video.

Player URL
