Raspberry Pi 2 as local TS-Proxy?

[tomy91]

Hello. I'm willing to make a local TS Proxy to watch Torrent-TV on my Samsung Smart TV using Raspberry Pi 2. Is it possible?

I managed to get everything working under Windows but I don't like to keep my desktop PC powered on all the time (noise, power consumption etc.). That's why I thought I could set up TS-Proxy on a Raspberry Pi 2 device I recently bought.

I tried to install both VLC and aceproxy using Your tutorial and they're both running on Raspbian jessie, but only after setting them up I read the text at the instruction manual "This article assumes you have Ace Stream installed". Obviously my plan failed due to the lack of Ace Stream engine for Raspberry Pi 2.

Is there any chance to get AceStream engine running on RPi2? I've found Raspbmc (http://ru.man.wikia.com/wiki/Raspbmc) but haven't tried that yet and I think that's not what I need (I don't want to watch TTV on RPi2, I want to use it only as a HTTP proxy for Smart TV).

I've heard that there were some AceStream builds for ARM that are not available officially anymore. Do they still work with Torrent-TV? Or maybe I can use AceStream builds for Debian as the Raspbian OS is a hybrid from this Linux disty?

I hope to get any answer sooner than later about my chances. :) Thanks!

You can run AceStream on an x86_64 PC and AceProxy on a rPI.

No.

Is it worth trying ExaGear Desktop (x86 emulatorfor RPi2)? http://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/exagear-desktop-features-and-prices/ Here's a guy that have made that setup possible (no info about the performance, thou): http://mytalks.ru/index.php?topic=5776.msg56210#msg56210

What do You think?

EDIT: Ahh, it's on ODROID XU4 which is around 3 times faster than Raspberry Pi2 (http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G143452239825&tab_idx=1). So I think I found an answer to my question. :(

I recommend you to use streaming services and not Ace Stream with AceProxy. Ace Stream developers are morons and AceProxy is abandoned, it seems that nobody is willing to fix existing bugs.
Anyway, I heard that Ace Stream developers have added proxy into Ace Stream. You could try it too.

@ValdikSS
I guess you should update README.md then. And if there are some alternatives it would be good if you'll mention them. I personally don't use acestream/torrenttv anymore because they banned my account completely, with no funds returned.

any update about this? How can I use raspi for stream acestream links and play from another pc with VLC?
