This allows streaming all known torrents to TVs in your LAN. Most TVs support UPNP, so rqbit should show up on them, you can browse the known torrents and stream them to TV straight.

It's integrated with streaming, so that if you seek to a place in file that isn't yet downloaded, it will stall until available.

This does no transcoding and probably won't. On my LG and Sony everything works without any transcoding whatsoever so rqbit stays lightweight.

Usage:

rqbit --upnp-server-hostname <YOUR_IP_VISIBLE_FROM_LAN> server start ...
  1. Open your TV, select the file and stream it.
