= SwarmPlayer =

The SwarmPlayer v1 was a Python based Bittorrent/Internet TV viewer. It allowed you to watch BitTorrent-hosted videos on demand and plays live Tribler streams. It is based on the same core as the Tribler TV application. More on the SwarmPlayer can be found at the [http://trial.p2p-next.org pages about our large-scale trial we did in July 2008].
The SwarmPlayer has been superseded by the [wiki:SwarmPlugin]. You can still build it yourself ([http://svn.tribler.org/abc/branches/mainbranch/Tribler/Player/Build]).

In September 2010, we released SwarmPlayer v2 which is a browser plugin that adds P2P video streaming protocols to you browser under the tribe:// URL scheme. This allows direct P2P streaming of video into the new HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements. It was tested in a large-scale trial with Wikipedia, read more about it at http://swarmplayer.p2p-next.org/
