#Popcorn time

Idea

To allow any computer user to watch movies easily streaming from torrents, without any particular knowledge.

Status

Under development (only in Mac OSX? somebody should try Linux and Windows) - no alpha candidate yet.

APIs

Currently used:

• RottenTomatoes for movies metadata.
• PirateBay Recent popular movies list.
• YIFY movie torrents API.
• OpenSubtitles for subtitles
• TheMovieDB for movies metadata.

In discussion:

• SubtitleSeeker for subtitles.

Testing it out

1. Open a Terminal with this project folder.
2. Run npm install in Terminal to include project dependencies.
3. Copy the node-webkit application binary for OSX 10.7+ to your /Applications folder.
4. Run /Applications/node-webkit.app/Contents/MacOS/node-webkit . in Terminal to open up the application.
5. Update js/vendor/config.js with your themoviedb.org API key. Pst. if you need one contact us.

Any problem?

Regarding superagent dependency

Due to wrong browser verification on a dependency, this hard fix must be applied. Replace node_modules/moviedb/node_modules/superagent/index.js contents with:

// if (typeof window != 'undefined') {
//   module.exports = require('./lib/superagent');
// } else if (process.env.SUPERAGENT_COV) {
//   module.exports = require('./lib-cov/node');
// } else {
  module.exports = require('./lib/node');
// }

Regarding Video, MP4 H264 Playback

• Info: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Support-mp3-and-h264-in-video-and-audio-tag
• Needed to build a custom build of node-webkit that adds h264 support (or you can download redy-to-go builds from https://file.ac/s4Lt3Vo6rls/)
• Alternatively, we can replace a .so and .dll file from the correspondent Chrome build to node-webkit and node-webkit.exe

Development

• Run compass watch in Terminal for CSS compiling and listen to future changes.
• How to build with SublimeText
• Currently Gaze to watch all files and reload the app is disabled due to memory leaks and unstability.
