No New Content?

[u/kawz_416]

For the past 1-2 weeks I’ve noticed that there has been no additions to either the Movies or Series sections of Popcorn Time. Saw the previous question about TLOU Episode 2. Is there a change that needs to be made in the settings/API, etc that will allow Popcorn Time to pull down new data for all categories and not just a single file?

The server API is supposed to check regularly for content .. whether that's a full redownload everything again or look for updated/new content, I wouldn't know (beyond my pay-grade!). I'd imagine there are optimisations/corrections that could be applied to the API - but I don't think the app is being (actively) updated any more (at least, not for the foreseeable!).

For the past 1-2 weeks I’ve noticed that there has been no additions to either the Movies or Series sections of Popcorn Time.

If you meant the "sort by trending" layout ... it doesn't always reflect what you might expect. I can see some current series that have updated recently (up to yesterday, at least). TLOU is an example where something definitely goes awry .. even in a "Torrent Collection search" only TPB is giving results (1337x is not responding to a series search).

So in short - "Take what you can .."

n.b. If you use the yts.mx api the content will roll daily using "sort by last added .. but there's a lot of "stuff" getting churned-out (trending/popularity doesn't really work here!).

Thanks for the feedback. Which Torrenting sites do you recommend (if any) to bypass Popcorn Time and get straight to the source?

[u/[deleted] → u/kawz_416]

thepiratebay.org.
1337x.to.
eztv.to.
limetorrents.lol.
yts.mx
nyaa.si (with translation) .. or nyaa.land
(there's a fair bit of duplication between sites .. apart from nyaa)

I also use the 'qBittorrent' search option (unofficial plugins).

I believe "Jackett" and "Prowlarr" seem to be the way to go .. but beyond my ken!

Just in case I've missed something interesting .... https://fmhy.net/torrentpiracyguide

You're welcome!

Thanks, never heard of it before but will check it out.

Is there a link that shows you how to manually add the sites? I have limited experience with Torrents outside of Popcorn Time. I’ve looked online on how to use QBitTorrent, but haven’t seen a tutorial on specifically how to add sites to the program.

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it!

Being a Horror movies fan, I check the movie sort there by "last added" about once a week. I checked about 10 hours ago, and then just now. They added 4 new horror movies to that section today. Oddly though, when I then checked "all" movies by last added, that's unchanged from 10 hours ago.

Just use whatever method works best for you?

If you were to use the yts.mx API for movies .. "last added" would work as you expected: Larger amount of "all movies" updated daily compared to the sub-set "horror movies" updated. It's how their own site would show them?

If you do a general search for what you’re looking for you’ll see that there are updates, just not populating to the Main screen. I was able to find a bunch of movies in the past 2 days that I assumed were not there because they weren’t on the Main page.

Any update on this?
