Hi !

When I try to stream a torrent wich is mad by a floder and the video is in a subfolder I gt a 404 error:

Not Found
The requested URL /torrents/24ee2e7b82eaba379377557aad92830ccd328173/files/torrent.name/torrent.name.avi was not found on this server.

At the same time the status bar is in progress but there's not any data abouts speed or peers, all is at 0.

The datas are under

/tmp/torrent-stream/24ee2e7b82eaba379377557aad92830ccd328173/torrent.name/

When I fetch a torrent where the file is not in a subfolder, the streaming works.

What can I do ?

@asapach commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2014):

@zobrak, it should work both ways. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you build the URL programmatically, you must urlencode the path, e.g. / becomes %2F.

Can you share the torrent/magnet link that is broken for you?

Can you show me the console log matching this one from apache log:
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [10/Oct/2014:10:01:18 +0200] "GET /torrents/dbcc055d503485928e52f349acf179812b777c4f/files/%5Bwww.Cpasbien.pe%5D%20Tristesse.Club.2014.FRENCH.DVDRip.XviD-SVR%2F%5Bwww.Cpasbien.pe%5D%20Tristesse.Club.2014.FRENCH.DVDRip.XviD-SVR.avi HTTP/1.1" 404

My guess is that apache doesn't proxy this request properly. Try doing this without apache and try other reverse proxies, e.g. nginx or haproxy.

Nothing happens in console while looking for the movie. By the way, files that are not in sub folders don't work no more today

If nothing happens in the console, it means that the request doesn't get to peerflix-server.

Maybe i'm saying bullshit, but if it was a handling issue with apache, why can I get the home page ? and why requests to socket.io goes well ?

No idea, maybe apache doesn't like the urlencoded path?
As for socket.io, you should set up apache to proxy websockets for it to work properly: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_wstunnel.html

I have uninstalled peerflix-server with "npm uninstall -g peerflix-server" and then reinstalled it.

Now it works fine but only with nginx. But no more with apache and the same 404 message.

I tried to link apache with nginx and 404 still here with apache. It should be as you said earlier a trouble with the way apache use url encoding or a misconfiguration on my server.

Thanks for help
