Demo

Usage

Launch baywatch

baywatch

To open the configuration editor:

baywatch -c

To output the app log (e.g., for development):

baywatch -l out.log

Streaming Media

By default, pressing p will use mpv to handle peerflix streams and open a file selection dialog when multiple files are present in the torrent. To change this, for instance, to vlc and default to playing all files (e.g., like an album), open the config editor using baywatch -c and set Play to:

peerflix '{}' --vlc

and Play Multifile to:

peerflix '{}' --vlc -a

See peerflix documentation for more details.

Transmission

On d, baywatch interfaces with Transmission to download torrents. If using the Transmission app, the app must be open in order to complete the download - by default, baywatch will try to open transmission-gtk if it is unable to find an open transmission instance. baywatch will also work with other Transmission interfaces or transmission-daemon if they are running.

baywatch is made for educational purposes for downloading legal torrents.
