Android Client? #37

For me, the killer implementation of TorrenTV would be an android app that passes the torrent URL along to a Chromecast (or other supported device) for streaming using the "Share" intent. Instead of dragging the URL to a box, you would simply long press the link in a browser or some other program, choose "Share", and select TorrenTV from the list. It may not jive with your goals for the project, but I thought I would throw it out there as a suggestion. Thanks!

I would be all over an Android client for this. There's already a working port of node.js v0.11 available here (for rooted phones): https://github.com/paddybyers/node/tree/v0.11-android

I, however, have no idea how to get this working or how to use that to run TorrenTV (if even possible).

Playing torrents is possible on Chromecast via Android by using magnet links, Torrent Stream Controller and BubbleUPNP but that's a cumbersome setup that requires several different apps. Please make this happen!
