Description
Stream torrent and magnet videos in your browser — playback starts before the download finishes. Flitplay turns a magnet link or a .torrent file into a video you can watch right now. Paste the link, press play, and streaming starts as soon as the first pieces arrive — with subtitles, and on your TV if you want it there. No waiting for the full torrent to download, no uploading to a website, no account. HOW IT WORKS Flitplay pairs this extension with a small helper app you install once on your computer. The helper joins the BitTorrent swarm, fetches pieces in the order the player needs them, and streams the video to your browser over a private loopback connection. Because pieces arrive in playback order, watching starts in seconds and seeking ahead does not mean downloading everything in between. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Stream torrent videos in a browser tab — playback starts on the first pieces • Watch with subtitles: the .srt and .ass files that come with a torrent, and the subtitle tracks buried inside an MKV, are converted for the browser as you watch • Cast to a TV — send the video to a Chromecast or a DLNA renderer on your network, including files the helper is converting on the fly • Watch a series: the playlist shows the playable files in episode order, a season pack opens at the first episode instead of an arbitrary one, and autoplay next carries you into the following episode — in the browser or on the TV you are casting to • Open magnet links and .torrent files from the toolbar popup or the right-click menu — and right-click works on any link, so a download page that hides the torrent behind a script still works • Play MP4 and WebM directly; MKV, HEVC and other formats the browser cannot decode are remuxed or transcoded as they stream, and 5.1 soundtracks are mixed down so they play instead of stalling • Pick audio and subtitle tracks, seek freely, pop the video out with picture-in-picture, and keep your sessions across browser restarts • Save a video to disk through the browser's download manager when you want to keep it • Optional in-page controls add a play button next to torrent links on the pages you visit — off by default, enabled only through the browser's own permission prompt, and fully revocable PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE There is no Flitplay server between you and the video. The stream goes from the helper to your browser over loopback (127.0.0.1) and never leaves your machine — and when you cast, it goes to the device you picked on your own network and no further. No account, no analytics, no telemetry. The only network traffic is what BitTorrent itself requires — your machine talking to trackers and peers for the torrents you open — plus an identifier-free check of the helper's public release list. Seeding (uploading) stays off until you switch it on. WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG The settings page checks for a helper update on demand and tells you what it found, and it saves the helper's log to a file — so a bug report can carry the one artefact that explains the problem. WHAT FLITPLAY IS NOT Flitplay is a torrent player, not a catalogue. It has no search, no index, and no built-in content: it acts only on torrents you supply. Use it for content you have the right to access — open movies such as Big Buck Bunny and Sintel, Linux ISOs, public-domain archives, and your own files. REQUIREMENTS • Chrome, or any Chromium-based browser, on macOS, Windows, or Linux • The free Flitplay Helper from https://flitplay.giftely.ai — the extension walks you through the one-time install and keeps the helper up to date afterwards, verifying every download by SHA-256 SUPPORT AND POLICIES Website: https://flitplay.giftely.ai Privacy policy: https://flitplay.giftely.ai/privacy.html Terms of use: https://flitplay.giftely.ai/terms.html
