With VLC, we've looked at various P2P video streaming technologies, like Tribler, Goalbit or Peercast. But so far, nothing actually worked correctly...

If something standard (or close enough) actually emerges, and is not insane to integrate, this would change a lot of things :)

What do you think of Ace Player?

It's a VLC branch adding BitTorrent support, which is a pretty slick addition. I've not been able to find their source code (wiki is down) but it looks decent.

Ace Player is unfortunately a GPL violation, so we're not sooo in love with it...

I'd love to talk further with you about that.
