It doesn't matter. The code is already out there.
Respectfully, I think the authors didn't think much and were kinda dumb. The project had a great potential, it was barely legal, they bought a fight with the media industry, but the cherry-on-top is that they putted their asses on the line. They shouldn't have used their real names. Anonymise your accounts and be happy.
But as I said, it doesn't matter. Everyone already has a fork of their repo (which has over 70 open pull-requests) and any one of these forks may become the new "official". It won't stop. The gears are already running, much like bitcoin. Fortunately.

- slang800 13y agoAs you predicted, it looks like the new "official" repo is here: https://github.com/isra17/popcorn-app https://github.com/isra17/popcorn-app and people have already begun work on getting it working again.
- cettox 13y agoI was unaware of that repo yet, it took me 1 hour to get it working though some features was disabled : https://github.com/cettox/popcorn-app https://github.com/cettox/popcorn-app and for precompiled executables visit http://kemald.com/pt/popcorn.html http://kemald.com/pt/popcorn.html
- mkremer90 13y agoThis seems to quit immediately for me in Mac :(
- cettox 13y agoOthers already reported problems in mac, yet I am unable to debug it for mac currently.
- balladeer 13y agoFor me it just keeps on Buffering viewo..downloading..and then keeps on doing that. I had the same problem with the official version too. The longest I've checked is ~60 minutes and it was right there where it started. However, for the same file of 1.5GB it took me ~10 mins to download. (Mac)
- jhansen858 13y agoThis is the comment I came here for. Thank you.
- noisyboy 13y agoThanks for the link to precomplied executables. I gave up on installing as per github instructions since on my OpenSUSE 12.2, running npm returns a strange error ("node: symbol lookup error: node: undefined symbol: _ZN2v811HandleScopeC1Ev") and I can't seem to find a way to install grunt.
- kinleyd 13y agoThe download I have (from before the closing of Popcorn Time) still works. :) There is one suggestion I have for those developing the forks further: have an option for downloading through Popcorn Time. For those of us whose connections suck, having Popcorn Time vet the quality of videos with the download option would be a killer feature.
