GoalBit First Open Source P2P TV

[crypton]

GoalBit is a peer to peer distribution system, capable of distributing high-bandwidth live-content to all network peers preserving its quality. This project follows the multi-source approach where the stream is decomposed into several flows sent by different peers to each client. In order to meassure the peers perceived quality, it is used the recently proposed PSQA (Pseudo-Subjective Quality Assessment) technology.

What's new in Goalbit 0.6?

Kademlia Support (Trackerless and Channel Storage)
Kad is now part of GoalBit platform! so we don't have to worry about the tracker anymore!

Now you can broadcast your own contents in an easier way:

Note: In order to use the Kad feature, the UDP port 3001 should be open (if your router doesn't support UPnP, you have to do it manually)

We change our base software
We migrate from VLC 0.9.4 to VLC 1.0.1, by this way we have a more stable and complete version of GoalBit!

H-264 encoding support in Windows

Output Adaptation
Now you can record, stream and/or transcode any GoalBit Streaming!

Internationalization
Thanks to Renzo, now Goalbit is also translated to Italian.
