peerflix stops w/o downloading and show no error

[leolivier]

I get this: ~/HomeStream $> sudo rm /tmp/torrent-stream/* ~/HomeStream $> sudo peerflix "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e" --vlc fetching torrent metadata from 3 peers open vlc and enter http://192.168.1.10:8888/ as the network address

and then, back to prompt... I tried many other magnet links with always the same kind of result: either everything choked or even nothing happens and peerflix stops with no error. If I open vlc and enter http://192.168.1.10:8888/ as the network address, I get an error from vlc telling me that my media cannot be opened. The torrent stored in /tmp/torrent-stream can be dowload with Transmission (I'm on Linux Mint Rebecca)

I get this same problem as well on Mac Yosemite. The version I'm using of peerflix is 0.32.2.

[lucasfcosta]

Happening to me as well. Any info on this?

What version of node are you running?

[klierik]

Hello. For a last month I have the same error :( macOS: 10.13.3 (17D102)

$ node -v
v8.9.4
$ peerflix --version
0.37.0

For example I'm try to view film via magnet and get:

open vlc and enter http://172.20.10.2:8888/ as the network address

Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks...

You can't run this as su because --vlc will not run as su. Try it without using sudo or su in your terminal

@mikeboracci Hello thanks for reply. I run peerflix as is, not as sudo/su at all. It is just my regular user.

In my case issue was resolved via completely reinstall peerflix and VLC player :)
