Is playing music in the demo intentionally disabled?

rivulet3• 11 years ago

It takes a while for a torrent to be downloaded and become available to play. As soon as the first piece is available, it should become playable.

Actually... you are right, it's broken right now. I'm trying to fix it...

rivulet3• 11 years ago

Fixed.

Question: Will I be seeding if I use Rivulet? Where I live, I believe that I can download but not seed.

rivulet22• 11 years ago

At this time you do seed, I'll be pushing a fix to allow disabling of seeding later today.

This might be tangental, but why isn't there an ISBN equivalent for other media (e.g. movies, music)?

It would make distributed streaming services like this much more powerful, but would also allow copyright holders to have more control over their content.

There are. For sound recordings, there is the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC). For the musical work (of which there may be many recordings) there is an International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC). For an entire album, at least in CD format, there is a Media Catalog Number (MCN). (CDs also typically contain an ISRC for each track.) Albums often have a label catalog number as well.

There are also community identifiers, such as MusicBrainz IDs.

Not sure what there is for movies, however.

Really neat project. One suggestion: Put bitrate and filesize information in search results so that the user can make a decision based on the quality of the file.
