Won't stream if 8888 port is busy #6

We should find an available host:port pair to feed peerflix, it doesn't handle well finding it on it's own if 127.0.0.1:8888 is busy.

How do you find out what process is using port 8888?

Sheraff commented 9 years ago

IDK. But you can use netstat -aln | awk '$6 == "LISTEN" && $4 ~ "8888$"' to check if it's available (won't output anything if it's available)

Ah.. Thanks for the work regardless! And just to clarify, the issue you are mentioning is indeed the same one as I'm getting here? http://puu.sh/dD77d/f78fa8b8a4.png

I'm not 100% sure. I've been getting this error with vlc. My advice would be to install mpv player. It gives a superior video quality anyway... brew install mpv --HEAD
