peerflix VS jsPDF

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

jsPDF is a popular JavaScript PDF generator that allows users to generate PDF files in the web browser dynamically. The library is well-maintained, stable, easy to use, and has rich documentation.

I haven't had to generate PDF files from the browser, but jsPDF looks promising.

So, as advised on the github page https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF i tried to source the new version of jsPDF using either the first or second src that you see in comment in the code below.

was working fine. But it seems this version does not have the function to do dashed lines, so i wanted a newer version. I tried downloading the folder of the newest one, or tu put : as mentionned in this page : https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF, but now i got a bug when i try to create the pdf and the code stops at the instruction var doc = new jsPDF(); I hope have i been clear, sorry i'm kind of trying out things...

You can use the .NET built-in datagrid, write your own .csv export (it's about 15 lines of code), and use jsPDF to convert the datagrid content to pdf using JavaScript.

Didn't try but there is https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js to read and https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF to write back so I imagine it could all be done in the browser, no app required. I'm not sure if there is already a project that combine both and use the canvas as a sketching support but have a look and if there isn't one I might prototype as it could be interesting for the PineNote.
