peerflix VS Cytoscape.js

When I used a Chromecast, I was fond of an even more direct method. I used a Node CLI called "peerflix" [0] to stream a video file while downloading its torrent (so there wasn't even a need to wait). Then I just opened my browser to the local network address where peerflix was hosting the h264 playlist, and used the Cast button to stream it to my device (which I believe technically means Chromecast "takes over" downloading the playlist, rather than my laptop pushing the video to it, so I just needed to use a URL with the LAN IP of my computer).

At some point I also used a tool to stream to the Chromecast directly from the CLI (castnow?) - or maybe Peerflix even had this option, I can't remember. Nowadays I prefer to watch content on my phone in bed, which is why I like Jellyfin, because the iOS client can easily stream a video I downloaded onto my computer.

It actually use peerflix as torrent streamer, github

peerflix - Streaming torrent client.

It’s this repo: https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix

This is something I've repeated like 10 times on this subreddit, but you don't need to wait for a torrent to finish to start watching it. Literally every torrent client in the past decade supports downloading first piece files first, so you don't have to wait for the download to finish and can start watching it immediately. There's even stuff like peerflix which makes it easier.

maybe try peerflix? just put the url it gives into vlc on the chromecast

This could be probably done with https://js.cytoscape.org/ as well, so maybe look into that.

Maybe look into Cytoscape.js... There's a react wrapper component: https://github.com/plotly/react-cytoscapejs

The UI is almost entirely based on Cytoscape JS, which is one of the most use graph libraries out there (and for good reason, I've found it very good). The UI is similar to some other JavaScript libraries that deal with visualisation of network models, so it ends up being similar to most examples of Neo4j dashboards, D3, etc.

Relationship graphs are created using Cytoscape.js

I am playing with an app built around cytoscape.js for visualizing graphs. That means adding/removing nodes, responding to node events and so on.

Data source: DB of tutorials and tags. I created the skills map of collective knowledge shows a number of tutorials uploaded by users. It is illustrated the topics of user-generated content. Size of stars is a number of tutorials on the topic. The bigger the star — the more popular skill. The more connection a skill has — the more essential and versatile it is. After the login, this map becomes personalized for every user in accordance with the uploaded tutorials. All skills are combined into 6 specializations (science, sign, people, tech, art, business). Some topics are repeated in several specializations, for instance, "soft skills." Tool: Cytograph.js Layout: Cise layout Interactive version is here https://unschooler.me/skills

> Yeah, I know there's D3.js but that involved way more knowledge and learning than I was interested in.

Same, d3 looked very powerful but had a steep learning curve. I was looking for something simple to generate process trees in real time and ended up using cytoscape js [0], helped me have a working POC in an hour, highly recommended.

Well, I'll write the post on how it was created. In short, the visualization itself is mostly a https://js.cytoscape.org/ with a few custom CSS options. The hardest thing was to figure out how to prepare the data.We had at the row data:

I’m a huge fan of Cytoscape.js. Not sure if it would be a competitor to Gephi as it’s just a JavaScript library but it’s very useful for things one might use D3 for. Not too not does it have the ability to draw, style, and animate the networks it has all the graph algorithms to do the analysis and traversal.
