Popcorn-api is down: err 503 #1055

Closed Persei08 closed 5 years ago

Persei08 commented 5 years ago

Operating System Version: OS X, Windows, Linux

Popcorn Time Version: 0.3.10 and dev builds

Expected Behaviour

Api return results from popcorn-api instead of cloudflare cache #### Actual Behaviour Actually, since one week, PT get responses from the cloudflare cache instead of the popcorn-api. #### Steps to reproduce the behaviour 1. Try to request PT api directly from browser or something, you get error 503. 2. Open PT and debug node-module "butter-provider-movies-es6" to find that responses come from cloudflare #### Personal suggestions 1. Fix actual API server or use alternatives APIs (if there is some alternative popcorn-api available somewhere, or YTS/eztv api directly)

Popcorn-api is back.

Can eventually someone tell us more about what happened ?

Should we (the community/contributors/users) not host alternative api servers as fallback instead of starting to become anxious when the main one is down?

Is anyone else still having issues? I've encountered some odd behavior with Search. It seems that past search results have been cached and easily fetched, but any new searches result in hanging. When inspecting console, Cloudfare request returns 503. I wonder if the Cloudfare account has been shut off?

Persei08 commented 5 years ago

@tiffanyhaltom No. I think it is just because clouflare cache the most popular search results. But actually API is back again, so every search should work again

i'm closing the issue since it seem fixed
