What is it

Another torrent streaming engine for Kodi. It uses the torrest service, which provides an API specially made for streaming.

Supported platforms

Minimum supported Kodi version: 16 (Jarvis)

Installation

The recommended way of installing this addon is through its repository. This way, any updates will be automatically installed.

Although not recommended, one can install the addon without installing its repository. To do so, get the latest release from github. Do NOT use the Download ZIP button on this page. Please note that, if there are any additional dependencies, they won't be resolved unless the repository is installed.

Calling torrest from other addon

One can call torrest from other addons. To do so, simply use torrest API:

Url Description
plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_magnet?magnet=<magnet> Plays the provided <magnet>
plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_url?url=<url> Plays the provided torrent file <url>
plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_path?path=<path> Plays the provided torrent file path <path>

The above methods support file_id (the file index, integer) and buffer (enable buffering before playing, boolean) as query arguments. By default file_id is undefined and buffer is set to true. Below is an example of a method call using these arguments:

plugin://plugin.video.torrest/play_magnet?magnet=<magnet>&file_id=1&buffer=false
