Description Pavel Kreuzt 2015-01-18 02:50:52 CET
Popcorn Time is a multi-platform video streaming application. It is an HTML/CSS/JavaScript application (NodeJS) rendered by a browser (node-webkit). The streaming is done by a torrent client for NodeJS (Peerflix). All the informations (torrent, images, informations) are automatically fetched by the application from different sources and are nicely put together.

Comment 3 Kristoffer Grundström 2015-06-20 16:59:34 CEST
As Rémi Verschelde mentioned above I made the spec-file to build with.

I don't know if it works on Cauldron as I haven't tested it there.

Add more information to my package request if you'd like to: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16107

No, please only add information to this bug (15074). Your package request was closed as it's a duplicate.
Comment 5 Kristoffer Grundström 2015-06-27 03:23:51 CEST
If anyone is willing to help me fix the way the spec file works for the next release of 0.4.0 I'm more than happy.

According to https://git.popcorntime.io/popcorntime/desktop/tree/0.4.0 the devs tells you to use following steps if you clone the git:


npm install -g grunt-cli bower
npm install
bower install
grunt build
grunt start

To use both install, build & start in a spec file confuses me.

Can you change and put them in the proper place?

I made a new version of the current spec file, but it may be wrong.

Comment 6 Kristoffer Grundström 2015-06-27 03:26:46 CEST
Yes, I do see that you can use make_popcorn.sh to build a new version of the program, but is it really that simple?

Comment 8 Samuel Verschelde 2016-10-10 23:04:54 CEST
 Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

 You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

New version of the spec file

Here's a new version of the previous spec file. The only thing that needs to be fixed in it is the adress to the source and the %install part.

Attachment 6780 is obsolete: 0 => 1

Comment 10 Keith Bowes 2020-03-15 01:38:59 CET
AFAIK, Popcorn Time is:
1. Illegal (a way to pirate movies)
2. Discontinued

This should probably be closed as WONTFIX.

Comment 11 Kristoffer Grundström 2020-03-15 01:45:50 CET
Popcorn Time streams movies nowadays and NO, it still builds.
I've used it in Windows and Ubuntu and it works.
Comment 12 Morgan Leijström 2020-03-15 02:13:37 CET
Not really discontinued; development forked, and also see https://getpopcorntime.is/

Illegal, that is the problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time

Comment 13 sturmvogel 2022-05-27 21:56:02 CEST
Given the fact that nearly all forks got shut down/got a lawsuit...
Popcorntime is no longer available.

closing as WONTFIX.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
