Ok, i am all for this but we have now under 40 movies, that's hardly the pace i thought they would show up. I am getting lots of rejections and don't know what i am doing wrong. Maybe a small tutorial would help the flow of movies? Btw only files i've got in mp4 without converting are porn... lot's of it.

The files we have rejected either have no seeders so when tested did not populate any torrent data or were not in the proper format. All submitted content must have a healthy amount of seeders (preferably 50+), the file must be a mp4 video and must be encoded with h264 video, aac audio. Finding compatible files is quite easy by searching any major torrent site.

As for old items being removed, we have continued to improve the responsiveness of the service and to make sure it can be more reliable at playing videos (there was some problems with torrents sometimes requiring you to refresh the page for them to play). We are continuing to improve the underlying code but we did notice a lot of early submitted content was very low seeder items (1-3 seeders meaning of those people go offline the file is not available). Listing items on the site that could fail to play based on time of day is not what we want for the service so we are being more strict about how many seeders are required to ensure maximum compatibility and uptime.

Here is a quick and easy tutorial for those with no technical knowledge.

-Download WebTorrent-Desktop. If the torrent plays in that it should play in our site
-Go to your preferred torrent tracker site such as pirate bay and search for an item
-Find a item referencing h264 or simply put the magnet link into webtorrent and confirm its a mp4 file
-Right click the item in webtorrent-desktop and copy the magnet link
-Submit the magnet link to the website

While it is appreciated if you seed the file in the long term to make it as fast and reliable as possible, if you are pulling a torrent that already has 100 or more seeds it should be in no way required and once submitted you can remove it from webtorrent desktop. I simply suggest using that as a test as it is easy to use and will quickly let you see if a torrent is compatible.

hey guys, by writing

30% after the release of our website with core functionality

Account Management
Media / Video Management

in ANN

is that meant purevidz will implement 'media' like music, TV/NetFlix series, ebooks e.g. ?

That means we will expand on your account management options. Updating your passwords, tracking what content you've submitted and its status, if you're a moderator approving new items submitted to the site, etc. The scope of our project is video only. While music would be easy to add, there are already many, many streaming music sites out there and so we plan to keep our focus to movies and television for now with the possibility of a XXX subdomain for those who are interested. By keeping our focus on specific content it will allow us to grow and advertise easier.

I will say I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you are confused about how the uploading works. Adding a magnet link from say TPB into webtorrent to check if it works is true. Where I think you might be wrong is after that. Copying the magnet link from the webtorrent client is a different link than the magnet link on another torrent site like TPB. I have actually tested it out by adding a new movie on the site and playing it. The downloading on the site ONLY comes from my link, meaning I would be the sole seeder until someone else could download the webtorrent magnet link. Then there would be more seeders. You cannot use torrent seeders for this.

I think the reason for it is this

Say you are downloading a torrent from a standard torrent client and a webtorrent client and you map the beginning and end of how the file is downloaded on both platforms, it would look like this:

WebTorrent:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A B

Straight across in a stream as that is the only way to handle a stream

Standard Torrent client:
|||| | ||||| | || |||| |||||||||| |||| | ||||
A B

Standard torrent clients cannot stream as it takes the most available pieces of the content until it equals 100%

This means, until you allow others to download those webtorrent links, you would have to rely on the original seeder/poster of the webtorrent link. They cannot remove that link and they will have to seed it.
