#Popcorn time

Idea

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

Status

Under development (RC1) for Mac OSX - Windows - Linux.

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.
