Multiplex is an app to watch torrents together, providing an experience similar to Apple's [SharePlay](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212823) and Amazon's [Prime Video Watch Party](https://www.amazon.com/adlp/watchparty).

- **Stream any file directly** using a wide range of video and audio formats with the mpv video player

+### 2. Ask Friends to Join
While consuming media on your own can be fun, doing so with friends or your SO is always better. I built Multiplex to enjoy media together with my partner, but due to COVID and the Atlantic ocean we're unable to do so in person all the time - this app intents to bridge that gap. To ask someone to join, click on the people button in the top right, and copy the [stream code](https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex/wiki/Stream-Codes):
-
+
+ 
+
This stream code can now be entered by the person that wants to watch the media with you. There is no technical limit on how many people can join the session, so feel free to invite as many as you want!
-
+
+ 
+
After the person that wants to join has entered the stream code, they need to confirm that they too have the right to stream the media; depending on your country, please ask them to [take appropriate measures to protect themselves](https://sec.eff.org/topics/VPN):

-Note that is recommended not to choose the option to stream without downloading when streaming with multiple people; while it is supported and buffering is synchronized across peers, it requires a very good internet connection for all peers in order for it to work smoothly. Once all peers have joined, you can start playback and enjoy the media together:

+### 3. Increase Privacy and Security
As noted above, the legality of consuming media from torrents depends on the country you're in. In most countries, following [these guidelines on VPNs from the Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://sec.eff.org/topics/VPN) will suffice, but Multiplex provides an additional option: **Remoting**.
-Multiplex is built on [hTorrent](https://github.com/pojntfx/htorrent), an HTTP to BitTorrent gateway. Using remoting, it is possible to use a trusted server as a proxy to stream torrents from. This makes it possible to not only increase security for all peers without them having to take the appropriate measures themselves, but it can also increase the performance by caching the media on a single server with a good internet connection. To enable remoting, first [host a hTorrent gateway with basic authentication enabled](https://github.com/pojntfx/htorrent#1-start-a-gateway-with-htorrent-gateway) - be sure to set up TLS certificates to enable encryption, for example by using [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/). Once you have a gateway set up, you can configure Multiplex to use in its preferences:
