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

play uses 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 download, baywatch attempts to connect to Transmission app or daemon. baywatch will try to open transmission-gtk if it is unable to find an running transmission instance. This can be turned off or changed to another transmission interface by setting the Command (Transmission) or Try Open (Transmission) variables.

baywatch is made for educational purposes for downloading legal torrents.
