We have already analyzed some of the best options out there to view our media library on the fourth generation Apple TV. The new Apple multimedia device has multiplied its possibilities thanks to Plex and Infuse, two excellent multimedia players that allow us to see our library hosted on our computer or NAS. But now we go one step further and what we are going to do is being able to view torrents files directly on our television through the new Apple TV, without even having to wait to download them to our computer. Thanks to Fetch, a multimedia player that integrates perfectly with Put.io, a cloud storage system that allows torrenting on it.
Put.io, a cloud to download torrents to
We have already told you about it on occasion, but for those who have not heard of this cloud storage system, Put.io is a service that offers you between 100GB and 2TB of online storage with prices ranging from $ 9,99 to $ 49,99 per month, depending on the modality you choose. What is special about this cloud? Basically, it allows you to download torrents directly to it, without the need for them to go through your computer first. Add a torrent or magnet file to put.io and it will start downloading to your cloud automatically, and also almost instantaneous if there are enough "seeders".
Fetch for iOS adds torrents and plays them
This Put.io service is even more interesting thanks to applications like Fetch. In the iOS version it will allow us to download torrents directly from our Put.io account. Search for the torrent you want from Safari for iOS, click on the magnet link (the magnet) and you will be asked if you want it to open in Fetch. It will automatically start the download on your Put.io account (not on your device) without spending a data connection or having to wait hours for the download to finish thanks to the incredible speed with which Put.io downloads these files. This version for iOS also allows you to play everything you have in your Put.io account from your iPhone or iPad.
Fetch for Apple TV
But what is really surprising is what they have achieved with their version for Apple TV. Like Plex or Infuse, Fetch for Apple TV downloads the covers of your series and movies stored in Put.io without you having to do anything, it orders the chapters and presents them to you as you can see in the image. The streaming is done directly from your Put.io account and you will be able to enjoy all your movies and / or series that you have stored in it. It also supports subtitles for those who want to see the original versions (this must be configured in your Put.io account).
The application is still in an initial phase of development and they are still working on its design, but for a first version it is not bad at all. Those who had the previous version for iOS will not have to pay for this new version that contains the application for Apple TV. For those who have to buy it, its price is € 2,99 according to its developer Although right now it is free, we do not know until when.
