You are free to report issues regarding the packaging here! Please read all the info of this message as they include quite some information.

Be aware that sometimes the package will fail to build because of outdated upstream and updated dependency, which will require me some time to test and solve the problem.

I do also have life stuff, packaging is a free-time activity.

I believe I have an issue that is Arch-related and not upstream related

I too found out only recently this way to debug the app (as of: 2021-06-13), which helps immensely.

Whenever reporting here or on the Github issues, please provide the output of the command:

popcorntime --enable-logging=stderr

In case you are forwarding the log to a file, as the log entries will end in stderr, remember to redirect stderr to stdout

popcorntime --enable-logging=stderr 2>&1 > my_output.log
Info regarding the package

  1. The package uses the sources available at: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop. I am aware of the different clones and branches; I do still believe that this code is acceptable (not affected itself from malware).

  2. This package uses a custom NW.js build provided from the PopcornTime team; essentially, a custom compiled browser. While this won't affect you as it should be used only within the app, you are here informed that I have no power over this component.

  3. The above point stands as the official NW.js Chromium source lacks multiple modern codecs, such as AC3 and HEVC (H.265).

  4. Earlier this package used the official nw.js toolchain provided available at https://dl.nwjs.io/ and the prebuilt FFmpeg library with additional codecs available at https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/ . This was because the nw.js toolchain provided by the PopcornTime team can not be proven as non-malware easily. However, due to point 3, this approach was reverted. You are free to use an older PKGBUILD with the appropriate variable updates to re-enable this, however you will miss support for recent codecs.

  5. In addition, the PKGBUILD won't point to the Git release reference but will also include important commits, for e.g. security reasons or providers changes.

Other domains as .sh or .ch are fake, it may steal your information or give you virus. There are many versions out there and not all of them has your best interest in mind. Here is a diagram that has been circulating on Reddit and attempts to put the current mess into an easy to understand format. It might help you navigate in the PT jungle out there.

@Plexcon not really sure why you dump the build log. I do packaging, so I am not changing stuff in the code if not needed to make it work. If you've problems with the old dependencies, you can report it upstream.

The app is getting stuck. When I click on "Loading stuck? Click here!" it starts again and this keep on going on in a loop. Everytime I click on I get back to the main screen. When I close the app, it core dumps. Stack trace of thread 2917: #0 0x00007f8b33679706 n/a (libnw.so) In gdb, I get the following: #0 0x00007f8b33679706 in () at /usr/share/popcorntime/lib/libnw.so #1 0x000055ffcd446980 in () #2 0x00007f8b31bb49e3 in () at /usr/share/popcorntime/lib/libnw.so #3 0x00007ffe37bd1b01 in () #4 0x0000000000000000 in ()

@Commander not really sure about that... The source code for this package is here: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop If you can find any malware, please report me and I will switch repository. I have sincerely no problem with it, also on my Windows 10 OS.
