TorBox Web Streaming

Stream any file on our in house video player, right from your device, no additional software required!

In TorBox's v8.1 update, we reintroduced web streaming. This feature allows you the ability to stream any video file, right in your browser, no additional video player required. You are able to stream low quality, or even ultra-high quality video without any buffering, with all the features of a media center like Plex.

Features Include:

    • If you are streaming a media file that can be identified with an intro, TorBox will mark it, and allow the video player to skip past the intro if you press the "Skip Intro" button.

    • Read more about the feature here.

  • Raw view playback.

    • Allows non-Pro users to play .mp4 videos and other browser-compatible file types in the same easy to use player as our Pro users.

  • Scrobbling with Trakt, Anilist, MyAnimeList, and Simkl.

    • Link your preferred tracking database with TorBox, and whenever you watch a detected item (through the API or on the website), TorBox will automatically scrobble the correct episode and season, or movie for you!

    • This requires the title of the item to be similar to TorBox's searched metadata. In cases where the item cannot be properly detected, scrobbling will not take place.

  • Native Subtitles

    • If subtitles are included in the video file, you can select them to be displayed. These subtitles will have fonts, color, and be timed correctly, playing them as they are meant to be seen.

    • This includes special subtitles where they can be in different positions on the screen, in different fonts, sign subtitles or even sing along subtitles can be shown.

  • High Quality Video

    • Video is not compressed when playing through the video player. If your browser supports it, TorBox will play your video at the maximum quality.

  • High Quality Audio

    • Audio is not compressed when playing through the video player. Enjoy high quality, and even surround sound audio, playing inside your browser.

  • Well Designed and Natural to Use

    • Like the rest of TorBox, the TorBox design team have developed the TorBox video player to be easy to use and extremely natural, meaning you won't have to learn anything to start playing video.

  • Quick Start Times

    • Even for large files, you can play them very quickly with little buffering thanks to our high speed transcoding and chunked video processing.

If you sit idle for too long, there is even a nostalgic screen saver!
