Want to add movies to the archive? Create an npub that you will use to post them, so as to not spam your regular follows.

I usually upload to either archive.org or nostr.build. Archive is more likely to be taken down, but it's free. Nostr.build costs money, but your movies will not be taken down.

Make sure your movies are in an MP4 container, with h264 video and AAC audio for best compatability. Keeping the size under 2gb will be optimal. Other formats will not work well on iOS.

Then you simply make a note with the title, a link to a cover image, the link to the movie you've uploaded, and genre hashtags. Add the #kinostr hashtag for maximum visibility.

Let me know if you want to join in, or have any questions.

There are also hundreds of movies already on archive.org. a quick search will find them easily. Find your favorites in the already existing library.

I wish we could cook up a way to make this work from magnet links for torrents for ultimate censorship resistance

Or if we could have a note kind specifically for media mirrors that anyone could add (verified by hash or something)

A cool option. Just be sure you have enough bandwidth, plus be aware this could be viewed as illegal copyright infringment depending on your territory, hosting movies for public distribution.

Clients would need to build torrent functionality in. It's been discussed before but had never happened.

For that there are already great solutions available. Look into stremio, it's an amazing torrent based streaming app. Install the torrentio plugin from the community plugins section and your set.

Dtan is very cool but you can't link a torrent and have it visible in your post unfortunately 🥲 I wish clients had that built in.

Also works with nostr embed:
