Same thing on chromecast, streaming to devices is still very experimental. Thanks for the thorough bug report :)

No worries :). I'm happy to have a go at fixing, or at least improving this. At the very least, the video should not restart on desktop when the user starts streaming via AirPlay/Chromecast.
I am really curious about whether starting a stream on AirPlay will restart the torrent download or use what is cached.

The behavior where you click the chromecast/airplay button and the video restarts was a bug related to creating a new http server. I just fixed that, but all your other points are correct :)
In particular, thanks for explaining why the video is usually replaced with a placeholder. I always assumed it was for battery life reasons or something.

The torrent download is not restarted, don't worry.

Fantastic! :)
Really loving the progress on this app. It's looking great!

You should!
If you have a chromecast, you'll probably have an easier time fixing it there first because the chromecasts package is really well documented and generally excellent: https://github.com/mafintosh/chromecasts thanks to @mafintosh.

The airplay package has no docs and is generally a bit jankier, so you might have to look at their source code to see how to seek the airplay device.

Just noting here that when streaming a video to chromecast, if you go back to the torrent list the chromecast streaming will stop shortly thereafter. Was expecting it would keep streaming until I started streaming something else.

I'll dig into it. I haven't got a Chromecast at the moment, I might grab one today.

This could be fixed if videos are opened in a new window? #5

@ChrisMorrisOrg chromecasts are pretty cheap and handy, though not without bugs. @mafintosh has another great project with similar functionality to what we're working on here: https://mafintosh.github.io/playback/

Thanks, I'll check both of those projects out :).

cc @watson – Yo Thomas, we could really use a better Airplay package for the WebTorrent app. The current one is super janky, as I mentioned to you on IRC before.
Once we get a beta version of the app released (next few days hopefully), I want to look at swapping out the Airplay package for something better.
I think we should write one from scratch, using the existing module and @mafintosh's chromecasts
as a model. Shouldn't be too hard, I think. Let me know if you want to work on it together.
from webtorrent-desktop.
Fixed. The scrubber now tracks progress in both Chromecast and Airplay
Airplay is still flaky though, and we could def use a better airplay package!
