Due to the recent DMCA takedown, this package will be unusable for atleast another week.

Follow the discussion here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PopCornTime/comments/gdhpaz/dmca_popcorntime_git_repo_takedown/

After a week, I will update this page with further news (good/bad).

EDIT 13/05/2020

Nothing has changed

EDIT 24/05/2020

Looks like we're good bois

Repo was taken down: "Repository unavailable due to DMCA takedown."

@test0 remove the package from cache.

I use yay so the command for me was:

yay -S --answerclean=A popcorntime-git

Hi I am getting this error while building:

I couldn't play any movies. Every time I play a movie, the app just shuts down. I found the problem to be linked to this PR: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/pull/1004.

I did exactly what that PR is doing by upgrading the nwjs version, and now I am able to once again watch videos.

nwjs-patch.diff

     availablePlatforms = ['linux32', 'linux64', 'win32', 'win64', 'osx64'],
     releasesDir = 'build',
     nwFlavor = 'sdk';

Copy the above file to the directory where the package is downloaded. It was ~/.cache/yay/popcorntime-git for me.

_platform is not defined.

I changed it to something like this to work:

_platform=$(getconf LONG_BIT)

cd popcorn-desktop/build/Popcorn-Time/linux$_platform

Thanks for the update! However I think that for a successful build npm needs to be added as makedepends.

Lot of activity on the github repo recently, however after building I got this error:

popcorntime: symbol lookup error: /usr/share/popcorntime/lib/libnw.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_parameters_to_context

Maybe is needed to update the PKGBUILD?
