Arch Linux User Repository

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Be aware that sometimes the package will fail to build because of outdated upstream and updated dependency, which will require me some time to test and solve the problem.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

Hi ItachiSan, thanx for the latest commit. I've noticed tough when popcorntime is minimized to systray it duplicates the icon, instead of removing it when restoring. Maybe something to do with latest gnome-shell update? There were some issues all around cause of this.

Thanx again.

Same thing as krosen's. Favorites just vanished. Recompiled from scratch. Favorites now on tab and not "heart" icon.

@krosen I actually do have it, so I can't replicate the issue...

0.3.10-14 "Favorites" category disappeared after updating from 0.3.10-12.

@ItachiSan indeed it works now! great!

@teoretic I do believe there were some issues downloading the NW.js zip; please try again, as I can't reproduce it.

I get an error for the lat update

Hi everyone,

Finally the package is updated and working!

A small patch is still available for Gulp, which I hope it will be merged upstream soon. But finally we can build the app without relying on nvm :wink:

Let me know if any issue arises! Additionally it would be great if anyone could try different versions of NW.js to check which one is working; this can be done by patching the _nwjs variable with the proper NW.js version! Due to the FFMpeg library, versions up to 0.34.0 can be tested.

Have a nice holiday!

@lambroisie thanks for the report; however, this is due to packages that have never been updated and I am not sure if they will ever be.

This will require quite some time; I am not sure if it will succeed also and right now I am busy a lot, so no promises if/when fixes will be available.

When I run makepkg -si I get the following error: https://bpaste.net/show/53adc2f1fb85
