And this is what we already say about music or video content, local playback has fallen into the background for many, although it is still important. For these users around the world, it is preferable to be able to go out and play this type of content, but online. Among many other benefits, this allows us to save a significant amount of space on local disks. This is because we are going to be working with files stored in the cloud, obviously, so we are not storing anything locally or almost nothing.
At the same time, we must take into account that we will be able to access them from anywhere and from any device, as long as it is connected . Okay, once we know all this, let's say that in these same lines we will show you how to download and launch a program that has been with us for several years. In particular, we are referring to an offer of this type called Ace Stream , which some of you already know.
First of all, it should be clear that, as with other similar alternatives, this is a completely legal and legal proposal. For example, it can be used to access native content via streaming or to watch DTT online, among other uses. Then, if it is used to consume copyrighted content, this is already the responsibility of the users themselves.

We invite you to watch a video about why the program may not work and how to fix it:
Ace stream media is used by many sites to broadcast torrent video and TV. We hope that the article was useful to you and answered your questions.
Friends, in the last article we again remembered the Ace Stream Media platform. I must say that this is indeed a very interesting software application that provides users with very rich opportunities when working with torrent streams.
But on the Internet quite often people ask questions regarding its correct configuration. And the most common one literally sounds like this: Ace Stream - buffering settings . This problem manifests itself in cases where a film in good quality is launched for viewing. That is, HD video starts to slow down constantly.
In fact, there is a way out of this situation and it is quite simple. You need to increase the size of the clipboard in the program settings and then, with sufficient Internet speed, plugs and other glitches should go away.
So let's quickly get to the heart of the matter. To do this, find the Ace Stream HD utility icon in the system tray, right-click on it and open “Options”.
Here we are interested in two parameters, these are “VOD Buffer” and “Live Buffer”. The first of them is used when playing torrent files with a known ending (size). These will be films, TV series, etc.
The second one is responsible for broadcasting streams with indefinite termination. This role is played, for example, by broadcasting TV shows on Torrent TV. After all, it’s clear that they don’t have a specific size, it’s just streaming video.
As a result of this, through experimental observations and according to information from various specialized forums, I came to the conclusion that for films it is better to set the buffer value to “50”, and for channels to “300”. If it is not entirely clear what we are talking about, pay attention to the picture below.
But that is not all. Now you need to go to the “Advanced options” section to activate the items shown in the screenshot. Also pay attention to the port number on which the program runs. In case of constant plugging, it is highly recommended to open it. I described in detail how to do this correctly in this publication.
Usage
On the computer
- After installing Ace stream media and the TS Magic Player plugin, you need to launch the program engine from the “Ace Stream Media Center” shortcut on the desktop. After this, a program icon will appear in the taskbar - this means that it is running in the background.
- Next, right-click on the desired torrent file and click “Play”.
- To watch TV channels, you need to go to the main page of the buzz and go to the P2P TV tab, click on the desired channel. You can also find a ready-made list of channels on the Internet.
Registration in the service to use the program on a PC is not required. It is needed to access additional channels, streams and disable advertising (services are included in the paid tariff).
How to use on Android?
- After installation, launch the Ace Stream Media application. We give permission to read and access files on the device.
- To view a torrent file or a file with a list of channels, click on it and select Ace Player from the pop-up menu.
- To view files downloaded to your phone, go to the video or audio tab in the side menu and select the desired file.
How to use Ace Stream to watch movies?
So, let's move on to using the Ace Stream package. Just opening the player and launching something will not work.
Before this, you will have to visit a site with torrents and perform some manipulations there. And only then can you use the player. What should be done?
- First, launch the browser and go to some torrent tracker (for example, Rutor).

- Now, in the site search, enter the name of the film you are interested in and click the “Search by title” button.
Additional components
So far everything is simple. We assume that in our case there were no problems with installing and testing the Ace Stream Media player. What kind of program this is is already clear in general terms, let’s move on to some nuances.
As it turns out, after the installation process is completed (and this is confirmed by the comments of a huge number of users), it will not be possible to simply launch the player in an Internet browser. The program also requires installing an additional plugin. For example, for Google Chrome this is Magic Player. If this add-on is already in the list of pre-installed plugins, you just need to enable it (check the appropriate box).
Nserv Host Project
A wider selection of torrent services is available in the nserv.host project. With its help you can enjoy viewing from the following resources:
- TV cinema room;
- Torrent TV;
- Series;
- RuTracker;
- StereoTracker;
- RuTor;
- NoNaMe Club.
The advantage of nserv.host is access to content in the highest quality 4K and Full HD. To activate the service you will need:
- Launch ForkPlayer.
- Enter https://nserv.host/ in the address bar.
- Launch Ace Stream by clicking on the icon.
- Click on the “Select server” item.
- Enter the IP address of the computer in the server line.
After completing the described steps, you can begin searching and viewing the desired content.
With the help of the Ace Stream application, the functionality of Fork Player is expanded. New servers become available to the user, from which you can view torrents in streaming mode without waiting for downloads. You can install the program yourself if you strictly follow the recommendations described in the article.

Brief overview of the basic operating principles
As is already clear, this is a player for watching streaming video. You should immediately take into account the obvious difference between this application and conventional software players.
The fact is that the developers took the principles used when working with torrents as the basis for all functionality and implemented them in the Ace Stream Media player. What kind of program is this in the global sense?
It is a player, a plugin, and a downloader (video capture device) at the same time. But the most important thing is that you can watch video content using peer-to-peer technology only if there are a sufficient number of distributing computers on the network, as is done when downloading the contents of a torrent file. But there is no need to download its entire contents. You just need to download the initial file to your hard drive and then set it to play online, but more on that later.
How to listen to music via Ace Stream?
In principle, this process is not much different from the previous one. But you'll have to do a little more work with the Ace Player.
In any case, you will first have to visit the desired torrent tracker and select the required album of your favorite band.
- So, open the browser and go to the desired torrent tracker.

This is how you listen to music from torrents using the Ace Stream service. There's really nothing complicated about it.
Even a beginner can figure out the process. Of course, if everything is done according to the instructions. No amateur activities.
Updating the widget on Smart TV
To update, you need to go to your account settings and select “Software Version”. There you can check for updates and download missing components. You can update this way: delete the previous version and install a new one from a flash drive.
ForkPlayer installation from a flash drive:

- Find the ForkPlayer management pack there.
- Activate and go to your personal account.
- In the program settings, you need to scroll to the bottom of the list and select “Uninstall”.
