Fetch, transcode, and stream it in the browser.

The media console is the front end of KBVE’s reel pipeline — ephemeral legal media pulled behind a VPN fail-safe, played as raw MP4 or live HLS, queued into a channel, and cut into clips.

Where to go

Three surfaces, one pipeline

Reel playerAdd a source, watch the fetch, and stream it in place as raw MP4 or HLS. The full operator console.Live channelA continuous channel — every finished reel joins the queue and plays back-to-back, no clicking between titles.
StudioCrop and grab sections of a reel into short MP4 clips, watermarked kbve. Coming soon.

Pipeline

Fetch, play, transcode, reap

01

Fetch behind the fail-safe

librqbit pulls legal torrents through a VPN-gated egress path. If the tunnel drops, the fetch dies with it — nothing leaks to the host network.

02

Play while it downloads

The player probes the manifest and picks its path — raw progressive MP4 for playable containers, HLS once a transcode is live. Partial files stream as they land.

03

Transcode on demand

Remux first, encode only when the container needs it. Progress, speed, and ETA report back to the console in real time.

04

Reaped, not archived

Media is ephemeral. Idle reels are reaped and their cache purged — the pipeline is a stream, not a library.

Access

Staff only

Who can use it

  • Every media route is gated on a staff account.
  • Playback URLs carry a short-lived media token, minted per session.
  • A signed-out visitor sees the shell, never the stream.

What it holds

  • Only legal, ephemeral media — nothing is archived.
  • Idle reels are reaped and their cache purged automatically.
  • Fetches die with the VPN tunnel, by design.
