\"acestream<\/a><\/div>\n

Acestream allows you to stream a video from peer to peer (P2P) connections. Because it’s a P2P and works like torrents, your connection will be distributed to other users that are streaming the same video.<\/p>\n

If you have a slow internet connection or slow upload, you can install acestream on a small server and stream it locally from your PC.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Installation<\/h2>\n

The following was tested on Ubuntu 16.04<\/p>\n

Install wget and nano if they aren’t installed<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install nano wget<\/pre>\n
Installing python packages<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install python-gevent python-psutil<\/pre>\n
Installing git<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install git<\/pre>\n
Installing VLC<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install vlc<\/pre>\n
Installing Acestream Engine
\nOpen apt sources<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/pre>\n
And add the following at the end<\/p>\n
deb http:\/\/repo.acestream.org\/ubuntu\/ trusty main<\/pre>\n
Install the public key for the repo<\/p>\n
sudo wget -O - http:\/\/repo.acestream.org\/keys\/acestream.public.key | sudo apt-key add -<\/pre>\n
Install Ace Stream engine<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install acestream-engine<\/pre>\n
And copy AceStream proxy from git<\/p>\n
git clone https:\/\/github.com\/ValdikSS\/aceproxy.git<\/pre>\n
Configure the AceStream proxy:<\/p>\n
cd aceproxy\r\nnano aceconfig.py<\/pre>\n
And change the following:<\/p>\n
vlcuse = True\r\nvideodelay = 0\r\nvideoobey = False\r\nvideopausedelay = 0<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Installing Pulse Audio<\/h2>\n
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Running the acestream<\/h2>\n
I’ll add “&<\/b>” in the end of the commands in case you want to close the terminal and keep them running in the background.<\/p>\n
pulseaudio -D --system\r\nvlc -I telnet --clock-jitter -1 --network-caching -1 --sout-mux-caching 3000 --telnet-password admin --telnet-port 4212 &\r\nacestreamengine --client-console &\r\npython acehttp.py &<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Streaming Locally<\/h2>\n
Open VLC or any media player and stream from the following url:
\nhttp:\/\/yourServerIp<\/span><\/span>:8000\/pid\/acestreamId<\/span>\/stream.mp4<\/p>\n
Where yourServerIp<\/span><\/span> is the IP of the server and acestreamId<\/span> is a 40 character hash.<\/p>\n
Any questions? Post them below!<\/b><\/p>\n
