Octoshape is a multimedia application that lets users experience high-quality video streaming. It is a close-source streaming media server and client that uses peer-to-peer grid technology to fix the reliability and sustainability of video quality over the internet.

More so, the video playback is instant and consistent.

Octoshape works as a streaming media accelerator and not a video-on-demand platform. It does not provide you with a catalog of video content that you can watch anytime. Instead, what it does is it optimizes the transport of video through the internet. As noted, it increases the quality and stability of the video, creating a TV-like quality. More than that, it enables a suite of multicast technologies—efficient video distribution used to deliver TV channels today—that reduces the amount of video traffic over the internet.
On top of providing the highest-quality streaming, the app also offers instant playback. With this, you don’t have to wait patiently for the video to load. The channel switching is also lightning fast and even lessens the buffering. Unlike in traditional streaming technologies, Octoshape sustains the quality of your video and does not adjust it to varying conditions, allowing you to watch the same picture quality from start to finish.
Octoshape is a plugin that works with Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000. It is lightweight and easy to install. All you have to do is to download the exe file and run it. The app needs you to accept the Octoshape EULA to complete the installation procedure. Upon completion, the app should launch automatically. Users must note, however, that the app is not a Windows core file and can monitor applications. Therefore, the technical security rating is potentially dangerous.
Use with caution
Overall, Octoshape is a good plugin for people who loves to binge-watch movies and series. The app optimizes the quality of your videos, so you can enjoy consistently high-quality video streaming throughout. More, it lessens the buffering for fewer interruptions. You only have to use the app with caution, though, as the app is flagged as potentially dangerous.
