Ask HN: Streaming a Bittorent Video from a Webpage?

1•trinsic2•20m ago
I'm wondering if there is a way to stream a video uploaded to Bit torrent from a web page.

I am working on a video essay that I feel might get censored by our current administration. I looked into PeerTube and i'm hesitant to get into decentralization because the point of censorship can be at the node with Activity Pub.

Is there a way to stream videos off of BitTorrent with a tool that is completely web based? The goal is to host videos on my site that can be stream by visitors with out relying on Video Platforms that can censor the content.

So you want to host it yourself, or you want to use bittorrent? The former is how people distributed cat videos before the Youtube era.

The latter is not hosted by you, but by all users participating the swarm. The first page for "bitternt stream online" (sic) keywords in your favorite search engine should should give some ideas about that (I use ecosia now, which gives at least usable results for this).
