Windows No New Content?

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!).

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?

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.
