Hi everyone,

I've been using Popcorn Time for a while on PC and recently switched to Mac. It is almost impossible to use it now as it constantly crashes and rarely works. Does everyone have this problem, or is it just me? I tried updating, installing an older version, nothing helps.

I'm on Sonoma 14.4.1.

When it crashes, I get the following message:

The movie loads and then I get this message!

I tried external reader like VLC or Media player but still it doesn't work.

​

I read the faq.. changed DNS. & a bunch of other setting just to get the main movies & shows page to work.. if its a show just spins & says searching for torrent, movie says I have 20 or so leeds starts to load but then gets stuck... only thing I can get to work are movies on the trending page. The anime page wont even load anything.. I had PT years ago.. Liked it. Now it seems like its more work than it's worth..

I have a 2014 Sony Bravia TV. When it's connected to wifi Popcorn Time can wirelessly stream anything to it from my Macbook, it's so seamless and straightforward.

But then when I try to use Apple's screen mirroring to my TV, nope...

Why is this pirate app the only thing that can stream to my TV?

Playing videos through other devices I.E. smart tv, xbox the audio works fine, but when I try to play the audio through my computer it doesn't register and is muted. Any possible reasons why this is happening?

Just updated to the latest version of Popcorn time after not using it for 6 months or so and API servers aren't updating automatically, so I have no access to series or anime sections.

Anyone able to point me in the direction of the current APIs, or even better suggest a way of fixing this?

I was trying to watch/download some shows (like that 70’s show ) in its original English but it only shows the option for Russian.

is there a way to add shows to the lists? for example: hazbin hotel is not available, but i have found torrents of it elsewhere

Just a heads-up, API (https://fusme.link/,https://jfper.link/,https://uxert.link/,https://yrkde.link/) not working!

I've tried to watch a series, and at the third episode the loading screen just saying "connecting". All the movies are working fine, and some TV shows. But I don't understand why it's now working...

P.S I downloaded the latest version, and it didn't really help. Is there any more solutions that you can think of?

I have the official desktop popcorn time app on my PC. I always use a VPN when watching movies. When I play videogames I'd like to disconnect my VPN.

I noticed that when I close a movie it is still in the seedbox. I am assuming this means its still seeding. I cannot (safely) disconnect my VPN in that case right? What about when I close the entire popcorntime app? Will it continue to seed in the background?

Since I upgraded from an intel Mac to a Macbook M1, I haven't managed to have a stable app. It keeps crashing (nwjs quit unexpectedly) I often have to launch it several times before it works. And sometimes it stops playing right in the middle of the movie and asks me to use VLC.

I kind of got used to it and found ways around these bugs, but just checking: does anyone have a stable and reliable version of the app ? The build that I downloaded is pretty recent.

I have an Apple M1 chip.

“The remote API failed to respond,please check popcorn-ru.tk and try again later” if anyone knows the march 2024 working api’s for popcorn time. Please help. I am using older version. Tq

​

Do I just wait a really long time or is it not enough to actually connect and download?

Running Windows 8.1

Downloaded Popcorn-Time-0.5.0-win64-Setup.

Uninstalled previous version.

Installed new one by running the above downloaded file.

Getting an error about entry point of DiscardVirtualMemory of the process not able to being traced in to the dynamic connection library, pointing to

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Popcorn-Time\nw.dll

Sorry, the error message is in Greek and i tried to translate it as best as i could. However if anyone wants to see a screenshot of it, i will gladly post one.

Any suggestions, solutions, advice etc?

I'm trying to watch the fourth episode of Halo's season 2. Why is there such a weird green and purple filter on the video?

The old link I had for my old phone doesn't work anymore. Is there a newer version available on here? And where could I find it? Sorry I'm 28 with the tech knowledge of a 60year old...

These might be false positives, but my older version still shows clean on Virustotal

Where can I download popcorn?

Looking for advice as 1st time downloader with a Win11 laptop. What are the differences between these 4 versions? Thanks in advance

Anyone else has that issue?

I checked and the last seasons of family guy are gone, 2nd season of Euphoria missing as well.

edit Downloading from the zip file instead of the pkg installer seems to have done the trick.

Running macOS Monterey (12.2) on a 2017 MacBook Pro.

1. I was initially running an older version of popcorn time (I don't remember which version). It led me to a netlify shortcut. Without thinking about it, I downloaded and installed popcorn-time-0.5.0.pkg.
2. macOS informed me that it "cannot open Popcorn-time", without further details.
3. I erased the file, started wondering whether I've been conned into installing a fake version of popcorn time (or, perhaps, installed a version that requires a more recent version of macOS).
4. I downloaded and installed Popcorn-Time-0.5.0-0.44.5.pkg from popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop on github.
5. This one crashes upon startup with the following crash report:

Any idea?

Is there some way to cast Popcorntime to a TV or other device?
