A group of supporters have pledged $10,000 to develop such capabilities in VLC Media Player. Now for finding developers for that a project has been posted on a freelance website called Elance, which offers $10,000 to those developers who can commit to this project.
The project requires VLC Media Player to play media content using Torrent files as well as Magnet links. This was all reported by TheNextWeb website.
If this is implemented & works as proposed then VLC Media Player users would be able to directly play any media from Torrents.
Technical constraints might be there like VLC would take some time to buffer the media initially & speed of buffering might be variable according to the number of seeds & leechers on the particular torrent.
This type of project was already made using Torrent Stream Magic Player. Using Torrent Stream Magic Player you can play torrents directly on the Player itself. That project is still under development stages.
But introducing torrent capability in VLC Media Player might prove to be a good move as VLC Player already has a large user base. Let us wait for the upcoming versions of VLC to find out the results. You can download the latest version of VLC media player from FileHippo website.
