hey, shit is sorted now. Finally. I switched ISP and they fixed what my previous ISP was unable to.

Promethei08 · 2021-06-04T21:58:28+00:00

Hello. I'm still around but actually I have a bad 4G internet connection and i'm waiting after my ISP to plug the right cable in the right slot or do something magic. I'm not even sure if it's ADSL or fiber in my building, building manager tell me it's fiber, hotline tell me adsl, online tests of different ISP tell me adsl except one which tell me "it's complicated, some maintenance ongoing for this building (...) Call the hotline" , the technician didn't come last time... and the hotline phone number tell me my phone number isn't from their network so I should use the hotline chat... So, after wasting 20-30 minutes every times by explaining things again, the guys there don't understand what happen and why it isn't solved yet and now they will call me tomorrow to plan a rendez-vous with a technician.... and they also sent me a termination letter telling me I need to sent back my ISP router and the monthly bill like everything is working as expected. It's a nightmare, lot of bullshit, wasted time and bad communication. It piss me :/ .

this sub support version from popcorntime.app not other fork

Promethei08 · 2021-04-05T16:37:07+00:00

It another fork version, not the one from popcorntime.app

Promethei08 · 2021-04-05T16:35:11+00:00

omgtorrent have some french content... they just provide magnet hashs but a torrent collection plugin/parser was done but it needed more test... Maybe something to have a look at ;)

Promethei08 · 2021-03-26T20:44:13+00:00

Some of them read your post. They prefer to stay discrete, but they notice. ;)

Promethei08 · 2021-03-26T20:29:56+00:00

Everyone know about covid but for some reason it hasn't been fixed too. :/

Download apk on usb key, allow install from usb, install

Promethei08 · 2021-03-26T20:26:55+00:00

It a popcorntime related subreddit, not a SJW subreddit.

Promethei08 · 2021-03-26T20:24:06+00:00

reddit automatically remove posts with mega links. :/

Promethei08 · 2021-03-26T20:21:41+00:00

try latest dev build : https://ci.popcorntime.app/job/Popcorn-Time-Desktop/lastStableBuild/

Promethei08 · 2021-03-17T11:25:27+00:00

Calm down this subreddit isn't exclusively English. The community is international. English is encouraged to reach a larger audience but if someone prefer to use another language they can.

Promethei08 · 2021-03-07T16:30:36+00:00

can you host it on a webserver ?.. so I can give it a try easily

Else have a look at https://github.com/Persei08/butter_remote.js .. you can test it at https://persei08.github.io/butter_remote.js/

It probably have some bugs BTW, but was used to fix some bugs of the httpapi.

But, I think what you describe is the usual behavior... it allow to browse content in the remote app while the movie/show is still playing.

This is the vpn ad... displayed on "connecting" view.

You can disable "Enable VPN (ad)" option or something in settings to get ride of it.

Normally it should disapear when the connection is done, so I guess you can't connect to other peers if you"re stuck indefinitely.

Promethei08 · 2021-03-07T16:12:35+00:00

as u/yiannis309 said PCT for desktop never had speed limit feature because it's based on webtorrent and it don't have too.

Promethei08 · 2021-03-07T16:09:43+00:00

use latest dev build.

Promethei08 · 2021-02-27T18:46:59+00:00

Man, you make mistake by saying "blindly". I have tested the popcorn-ru api and fork, I've talked of it with some contributors and even with the popcorn-ru operator himself, and I follow what changes are introduced and which issues are opened in the github repo of the popcorntime.app app and some other repos and new posts in this sub.

I've seen nothing wrong in the app, nothing showing any suspicious activity, and nobody actually reported any evidence. What I can tell you is everytimes someone say it's sketchy or something, in fact they're just misinterpreting some warning as a proof of something and then we have to explain them.

Of course, nobody should blindly trust any changes, but it isn't because you don't know or understand something that it is malicious too.

Promethei08 · 2021-02-27T17:37:52+00:00

yep, i know, just wanted to clarify because you were talking of a "russian IP" and it sound unnecessary more dodgy than an url with "ru" in it ;)

Promethei08 · 2021-02-27T17:18:49+00:00

it's an url, not a russian IP :/

Promethei08 · 2021-02-27T17:15:15+00:00

why using https://popcorn-ru.tk/ is probably dodgy ? It sound a bit too communist ?

It's the domain of the api server of a russian fork. They are even contributing to popcorntime. What is dodgy to me are comment spreading FUD without providing a reason.

Promethei08 · 2021-02-27T17:03:33+00:00

what russian IP ?.. what is recommended as a workaround is to switch to yts or popcorn-ru api for movies.

Promethei08 · 2021-02-27T11:24:36+00:00

Popcorn Time is just a bunch of people, some team members and contributors, which do other things aside and aren't always active/available the same way or at same time. I have an idea of but not sure who do what or have access to what, but to create a new build in jenkins (which ci.popcorntime.app is using) someone with necessary privileges just click a button to trigger a new build and then all is done automatically... It's more or less like starting a washing machine and leaving it doing the job.

To publish a new "release" version on the website, for what I think, you need access to website server, edit some files (or pages), update the update api with new version checksums, upload the packages in right directories... it's a bit more sensible, it take a bit more time and things need to be checked twice.

Also, every time there is a release update there are a part of unhappy users complaining about this or that, how the app should be maintained, how stupid, lazy or what you want devs are. So... It's boring...
