Keeping credibility - please remove libffmpegsumo.so file hosting #19

Hi,

I hope you don't mind some input here, so others can share in as well.

File Sharing Hosts certainly have their place, but a big majority of them are also considered associated very highly with Piracy.

I think to maintain a certain level of Project & Developmental Credibility a File Hosting site should not be used for files, such as Zippyshare.

+1. Go to your popcorntime directory desktop and paste libffmpegsumo.so in it.

Am I understanding this correctly? For the setup the end-user needs to download this? If that is correct, then why isn't this file simply kept here on the GitHub account for download?

I am trying to figure out how to add libffmpegsumo.so to the build. It's just a temporary fix.

When I try to upload it says: 'Unfortunately, we don’t support that file type. Try again with a PNG, GIF, JPG, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, PDF, or ZIP.'

@YIFYtorrents ahh ok...

On a side note, for the website, you have the GitLab icon pointing to a GitHub URL LOL...

Someone needs to change that and put in a GitHub logo. Even the mouse over popup, of course says GitLab, be sure your webmaster doesn't forget that too. :)
