according to the popcorntime subreddit the new temporal source for the binary is this http://popcorn-ru.tk/build/
it has a future proof build with a new entry on the settings to change the website the api comes from in case the current website is taken offline.
@xantares Same here
hi, it doesnt load movies or shows since a week or so, even after flushing config folder/database and disabling vpn, is it just me ?
github works fine, seems to be on the same page
I think getpopcorntime.is is the continuation of the original popcorn after the website takedown, remember seeing a post about it but better safe than sorry, github works best
thank you!
Cheers, Nick
Update: wasn't been able to retrieve the request I filled but I talked to the TUs and it's fine
getpopcorntime.is is not the same. It has a different version numbering scheme and probably completely different code, maybe even malware – who knows.
I have changed the URL to point to Github again. This seems to be the most stable solution.
pointing to archive.org is not the brightest idea, instead point it to https://dl.getpopcorntime.is/Popcorn-Time-linux64.tar.xz, no further modifications are required and you can also remove unzip from makedepends.
Please update your package or I might be forced to make a orphanage request
Cheers, Nicks
@gameslayer try adding to the custom api server field the following: http://popcorn-ru.tk/
If your version does not have the option for custom api, you'll have to download the latest from github and build it. Workaround until https://popcorntime.app/ is up again

Glad to help but the next issue is it's stuck loading when you open it making PopcornTime useless
Thanks gameslayer, I've updated the source URL.
There is a pending deletion request, but I think this package might as well stay as long as it is working.
Might have to use this link for now

If you are experiencing issues with the VPN then
The movies list should now load properly
