Hello,
first thank you so much for this awesome application ♥.
i have some question:

there is a documentation or ability to create a PHP code that control all features,
something like upload file & get result.
there is any option to disable store files in disk & use instead stream option (that mean nothing will be stored in server side)
-i have Ubuntu 14.04: in ~/.config/peerflix-server/torrents.json when i put option that mentioned here https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream#full-api
i get error : Undefined 2 please check this http://i.imgur.com/raReft7.png
PS: i had found in this config file : ["c1bb97836be45ef02e24bdf7bd4e666fd37db8aa"]
i guess it's not the right config.json

Best regards,

You can use the REST API to control most of the features.
I would argue that storage is cheap and by not storing the files you hurt the torrent community, because you will not be able to seed. You can try using tmpfs if you have enough memory.

Did you mean ~/.config/peerflix-server/config.json? You can't really pass the storage option in JSON, because it requires an object reference, so it's currently unsupported in peerflix-server.

So it just randomly gets killed? How much memory do you have on that machine? In my experience you need at least 512MB or better yet 1GB.

To change the path just save this as ~/.config/peerflix-server/config.json:

{
  "tmp": "/your/path/here"
}

Thank you so much !
i guess it's a memory problem i have only 512 MB,so i will try in dedicated server with 24 GB of ram,
i noticed when i added 2 magnet link with more than 1 GB file-size each i get the problem "Killed"

-GET /torrents/{infoHash}/files : will return the M3U playlist
what is M3U playlist ?

best regards

@asapach commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2015):

24 GB is probably overkill. 4 GB should be enough for most scenarios.

M3U is a file format supported by some media players (e.g. VLC) that allows to play the whole folder at once (e.g. if you have an album or a TV series season).
