SwarmPlayer

The SwarmPlayer v1 was a Python based Bittorrent/Internet TV viewer. It allowed you to watch BitTorrent-hosted videos on demand and plays live Tribler streams. It is based on the same core as the Tribler TV application. More on the SwarmPlayer can be found at the ​pages about our large-scale trial we did in July 2008. The SwarmPlayer has been superseded by the SwarmPlugin. You can still build it yourself (​http://svn.tribler.org/abc/branches/mainbranch/Tribler/Player/Build).

In September 2010, we released SwarmPlayer v2 which is a browser plugin that adds P2P video streaming protocols to you browser under the tribe:// URL scheme. This allows direct P2P streaming of video into the new HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements. It was tested in a large-scale trial with Wikipedia, read more about it at ​http://swarmplayer.p2p-next.org/
