It would be great if the app was able to show the list of Movies/Shows from the running Popcorntime app. This was already achieved once but with the original Popcorntime forked by bpear now discontinued.

This is how it looked like: http://i.imgur.com/r5UYXpT.png

And this is the reddit link with the companion app: http://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/22hika/app_popcorncompanion_cast_and_watch_popcorn_time

I'm not sure if the current remote api implemented in popcorntime would be able to do this so I opened a feature request thread on their forum: https://discuss.popcorntime.io/t/browse-popcorntime-movies-series-list-from-remote-app/8319

I have recieved a response from the popcorn team:

sv244 (Team Member), "It is already possible to get the current list using the remote api".

I'm not going to add it for now, it is just a remote.

Oh, ok, thanks for the response. It would still be a remote with this feature, but more complete, it would allow to change to another movie or series if you are casting to GoogleCast and are away from the PC for example. Anyway great remote :) hope it gets added someday, It would be really useful. Happy Holidays!
