- ijhuygft776 3y agoWow, the Windows version has a lot of files... 18,450. (https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases/download/v0.5.0/Popcorn-Time-0.5.0-win64-0.44.5.zip https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases...).
- masteruvpuppetz 3y agoThe only question left to ask is… anyone want to give me view access to their movie tv server?
- alpenbazi 3y agoNice, project resurrected?
- CamelCaseName 3y agoPopcorn Time is back?
- _9za9 3y agoThe code never went anywhere.
- hbcondo714 3y agoI guess it “returned” a couple years ago, as discussed heavily here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31972681 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31972681
- alecsm 3y agoJust yesterday I was thinking about Popcorn Time and now I see it here.
- spapas82 3y agoWorks great! Any idea if it is possible to cast the video to my chromecast?
- edm0nd 3y agoIMO just join a private group and use Plex. You'll never have any ISP woes/issues.

- anonona_ 3y agoHow?
- 14 3y agoI know reddit had censored and shut the sub down but in past I used r/plexshare. You probably could just search for one on yandex or something. Google sucks for a search like that. The problem I had with plex was it can at any moment be shut down. Plex is actively looking for those sharing services like this and shutting them down. Then it would be offline from anywhere from 1hr to 12 hours. Usually pretty quick but more then one night I sit to watch my show and it had been shut down. I used a site called all media access I believe and they charged $10 a month. It was however with it in my opinion. They have since moved off plex and on to something like iptv but I just am not with them anymore so don’t know the details. But if I was you check out all media access.
- NegativeLatency 3y agoYou might look into seedboxes, I use feral hosting, basically it’s a server someplace where torrenting is legal that you run a remote torrent client on. Then on a server in my house I sync the files locally with syncthing and run plex locally. Jellyfin is another similar app to plex but it’s open source and while promising is not quite there yet for what I want out of a media app.
- imbnwa 3y agoPlex saved me from my Samsung TV's abysmal UPnP client.

- STRiDEX 3y agoReally interesting mix of npm packages, gulpfiles, jshint, both underscore and lodash, backbone.js, some stuff i've never really heard of like nedb which is probably because its more specific to electron. It actually uses node-webkit NW.js instead of electron. It's an interesting mix of new and old things as a project that likely has changed hands many times. Like dayjs is pretty new.
- nick_ 3y agoThe homogeneity of a JavaScript codebase has a tenth the half-life of an "enterprise" lang/framework. IMO this is because the JavaScript ecosystem is speedrunning the decades of lessons learned by the greater software engineering field.
- makeitrain 3y agoI have been half jokingly saying they’re rewriting php.
- robertoandred 3y agoGood, PHP is an inconsistent intractable pain. Who thought referring to functions by the string value of their name was a good idea?
- ffsm8 3y agoYour pet theory is questionable, as the JavaScript (ecosystem) is one of the oldest that's still wildly used everywhere. The big libs have been pretty stable for the last decade though, even if the ecosystem itself feels quiet messy, likely because there are so many interested parties, each having their own ideas of how it should be. And it's also often the first language for a lot of beginners. ..
- k__ 3y agoUsers of "real programming languages" have peddled this narrative for decades. They are so mature and everything JS is just child's play...
- me551ah 3y agoMy biggest gripe with Popcorn Time is that it doesn't run on my TV. I use a cloud server instead and Radarr/Sonarr combined with Real-Debrid(to download torrents) and Usenet to download content. I have a 16TB server on which I have downloaded all movies with IMDB rating > 6 and a good number of votes. This allows me to run Plex/Jellyfin on my TV and stream. Bonus points is that it even works on my mobile phone when I'm on the move!
- elAhmo 3y agoStremio with Torrentio plugin functions exactly the same as Popcorn Time and runs on TVs
- Jonovono 3y agoReal Debrid is worth the price if you want a better experience.
- GaryNumanVevo 3y agoI have a similar setup (32TB NAS + Jellyfin). I use three different Radarr instances (1080p/4k/Anime). Every movie that I've liked on LetterBoxd gets downloaded automatically in 1080p / 4k (1080p for streaming outside my home). Jellyseer allows me to give access to friends and they're able to request stuff easily that's not on streaming. I also use Infuse on AppleTV which has support for Dolby Atmos / Dolby Vision. Absolutely amazing once you get it setup, I've been slowly rebuilding my blu-ray collection digitally too.
- spants 3y agoyou use real-debrid and plex and not plex-debrid? https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid Downloading movies is for the stone age!.
- exadeci 3y agoPlex shares are harder to find now but on Discord you can find servers with 100s of TB of movies and TV show to stream straight from your devices with no work and just a small monthly payment
- recursive 3y agoIs there a glossary of terminology anywhere? I think popcorn time is some kind of application for watching movies, but beyond that, I don't understand many of the comments in this story. I was into torrents 20 years ago, but I have not kept up with it. Currently, I get my movies from Netflix, and nowhere else, and I'm basically happy with that. Judging from internet comments, I might be the only one.
- ogurechny 3y agoThere is a giant market for one-click piracy solutions for the technologically illiterate. It's actually the same market on which legal services operate. Their competitors are streaming sites, various pay-to-pirate services that promise to do your work for you, and applications that combine torrents coming from popular catalogues with covers and descriptions from general purpose services into a nice interface. Choose a movie, and downloading starts in the background without the need to figure anything out. The latest and greatest Hollywood hits always have peers, and the rest does not really interest the general public. Because the users self-select for laziness and blind trust, it's a perfect feeding ground for malware operators, just like “system optimizer” and “system cleaner” applications are. Clients like “Zona” or “MediaGet” can sometimes be seen in torrent peer lists, and it's a common joke among tech support crowd that if one of those is installed, for some reason, the system always has malware to clean. Of course, the only “official” version may not display any unwanted behavior — at least initially — but there are 50 other sites in the search results with totally not suspicious installers. The other thing is there is no “deep learning” here. Authors do not scan ALL the available torrents and figure out which is which, they simply use metadata filled in by users in catalogues. Those are the same torrents anyone can find and download.
- squeaky-clean 3y agoIt's a torrent client that is able to download the torrent file sequentially, rather than in random chunks. Meaning you can stream a movie torrent instead of the old-fashioned method of needing to wait for the entire thing to download before you can watch. It's a combination torrent client and media player.

- freefaler 3y agoStrem.io + plugins + real-debrid.com beats the old and the new popcorn time
- Jonovono 3y agoAmen. Keep spreading the gospel. This is what we all imagined the world of online streaming would actually be like.
- xtracto 3y agoI use stremio with some torrent plugin. I've read about debrid , but don't really get it's advantage. Is it mainly to avoid being identified as torrenting by authorities? So if i live in a torrent friendly country it doesn't matter?
- plastic_bag 3y ago> Is it mainly to avoid being identified as torrenting by authorities? So if i live in a torrent friendly country it doesn't matter? It's not just that. Streaming from an proper server always beats streaming from P2P connections. The former is much faster to stream, forward, and rewind, making the whole streaming experience better. Especially when watching 4K content or old movies with relatively less number of seeders.
- swat535 3y agoAdditionally you can use Infuse if you are in Apple ecosystem and use their AppleTV app to watch everything on your TV! Just setup Infuse with Real Debrid as WebDAV and you're set, you can even get the subtitles downloaded!
- no_time 3y agoMixed feelings about this. I do not wish for it to be shut down again, but I hope people realize that every popcorn time user is one less qbitorrent user that accidentally leaves their client open in the background. I have a theory that most seeding is done by people who are unaware they are doing it or don't even know what it is. Tech like webtorrents, clients for portable devices and this are harmful to the network in the long term.
- palata 3y agoUnless they bring new users that would not normally use torrent and that happen to participate while they watch their movie?
