Short links w/o removing trackers?

[i1u5]

With the way it is now, the URL sometimes goes above the limits of many players (e.g. Stremio, which refuses to play anything), and they also look a bit "scary" to the non tech-savvy. What if instead of the current way it's handled, the link provided after adding a video was simply the link to the index of the current stream or maybe the hash of the torrent, with the index of the sub file added to it (in case it's a bundled torrent), and if the torrent is added directly by URL and not UI, just redirect it to the short one.

The suggested behavior: (in this case the magnet's hash is used)

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10&dn=Sintel&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.empire-js.us%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.btorrent.xyz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.fastcast.nz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com&ws=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2F&xs=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2Fsintel.torrent

becomes

https://example.domain/play?torrent=08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10

or if the torrent has any sub files, the selected one would be the name same way it is now, so in that case, the target file would simply be

https://example.domain/play?torrent=08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10&file=Sintel%2FSintel.mp4

// OR by file index (arguably better):

https://example.domain/play?torrent=08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10&i=5

And for it to be backwards compatible and not confuse anyone, accessing it using the following (aka the current way it's handled):

https://example.domain/play?torrent=magnet%3A%3Fxt%3Durn%3Abtih%3A08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10%26dn%3DSintel%26tr%3Dudp%253A%252F%252Fexplodie.org%253A6969%26tr%3Dudp%253A%252F%252Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%253A6969%26tr%3Dudp%253A%252F%252Ftracker.empire-js.us%253A1337%26tr%3Dudp%253A%252F%252Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%253A6969%26tr%3Dudp%253A%252F%252Ftracker.opentrackr.org%253A1337%26tr%3Dwss%253A%252F%252Ftracker.btorrent.xyz%26tr%3Dwss%253A%252F%252Ftracker.fastcast.nz%26tr%3Dwss%253A%252F%252Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com%26ws%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwebtorrent.io%252Ftorrents%252F%26xs%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwebtorrent.io%252Ftorrents%252Fsintel.torrent&file=Sintel%2FSintel.mp4

Would simply redirect to the previous result as well.

Of course, that would also mean that trackers have to be taken into consideration so they'd have to be internally cached instead of being used straightforwardly in the URL itself.

This will also fix #200 by avoiding the whole issue of using unescaped URLs.
