Movies don't loading, server down?? #2172

Closed her4z closed 3 years ago

her4z commented 3 years ago

Hey, I've been trying to use the popcorn's desktop software for a few days and it keeps getting stuck when loading the movies list, I've tried a clean re-install of the last version available and also searching the movies and changing between categories in case it was a bug but none of these things worked. I looked up the recent issues to see if someone it's having the same problem as me but nothing. I'm starting to think that the project was thrown away and it just stops being maintained because the web pages are also down. Any information is well received.

Operating System Version: Windows 10 64 bits

Popcorn Time Version: v0.4.4

Download date: 19th May 2021

Download url (optional): https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases/tag/v0.4.4

Same thing happening for me for more than a month now. Looks like the website is down as well https://popcorntime.app/ , i have tried accessing the website with VPN for several countries and it didn't load for any.

maybe read the pinned topic #2105

Basically use the latest build which you can download from here => https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/releases/tag/v0.4.4 Once the installation is done add this https://popcorn-ru.tk/ in Settings=>API Servers => Custom Movie Server

I am facing the same with v0.4.4

@syedusmanali I don't see that option even after enabling advanced settings. image

dutchy1001 commented 3 years ago

If the custom server API setting isn't in the settings tab then you have an older version. It should just be above "Miscellaneous" section

mandeep-vratesh commented 3 years ago

@dutchy1001 Not even in Misc image image

dutchy1001 commented 3 years ago

Like I said "it should be ABOVE" Miscellaneous (with a separate header). Clearly it's not there so you have an older version and need to update to the latest dev build. There are some links in the pinned topic how to get that latest version.

API

mandeep-vratesh commented 3 years ago

@dutchy1001 My bad. But above Misc I see "Database", "Cache Directory", "Connection", "Remote Control" etc options but not "API Server". I tried both windows 32-bit and 64-bit of v0.4.4. I tried using installer and downloading zip version as well.

Everyone read the pinned issue please (#2105).. You are downloading the old release version 0.4.4 (build 413, master branch) from last year, not the latest 0.4.4 build 458 everyone is saying to do. (dev branch, up to the the specific build/commit)

You can download either from popcorn-ru.tk/build or from github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/actions/runs/709245154 or you can build it urself by changing the nwjs location in the gulp file to a valid one (e.g github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/issues/2105#issuecomment-830843524 or ofc the official nwjs location -up to version 0.49 afaik- but you'll be missing on the extra proprietary video codecs that arent enabled in the prebuild nwjs binary)

Thanks mate, crystal clear!
