I want to run a service which will be able to search on torrents and
stream video/audio files directly from torrent. Closest service i
found is this one. [https://github.com/KiraLT/torrent-stream-
server](https://github.com/KiraLT/torrent-stream-server)

It searches on multiple torrents and streams, BUT it's search is not
working correctly, very bad experience with search and it does not
play some videos the majority of them actually. It says format is
unsupported. Tried in firefox and chrome too.  It's last release was 2
years ago.

[GitHub has a ton of options](https://github.com/topics/torrent-
stream)

My recommendation would be to just set up a normal
Sonarr/Radarr/qBittorrent/Jellyfin stack or something similar though.
You can set qBittorrent to download the first and last pieces of a
file first, then the rest sequentially. This will allow you to watch
the file while it's downloading in Jellyfin/Plex/your media player of
choice. Ideally you should be keeping the files on your server for a
while to seed anyways, so why not have a real library with past files
accessible? This setup will also give you a much more stable and
polished experience than anything you'll find on GitHub.

I have already setup
sonarr/radarr/transmission/jellyfin/plex/lidarr/readarr services. Tons
of services.

I just wanted this one service to be able to just search on torrents
and watch directly.
