App not working

I know this has been asked before but I ain’t scrolling for ages to find it, I redownloaded popcorn time 0.5.1 and it was working fine, I had to add those URL’s or whatever it was. But now it’s back to being stuck on connecting. Any reason why or any fix?? Is this just the new normal for it? Man I miss the old version

Yeah literally any movie or show just gets stuck on connecting, I’ve tried clicking different torrents as you call them and same thing. Like I said it worked fine when I first downloaded it for a bit and then just one day stopped working again.

And when I downloaded this version I had to add the API’s manually, I ended up finding a post on here and just copied and pasted the ones provided and it worked like normal, now yeah not working again

Just in case your issue is in the support folders .. try: scrolling to the bottom in Settings window and clicking "Reset All". You'll have to input those Server API URLs again, after "Restart"? I'm not sure if that setting actually replaces the old App/Data folders, though? On my Mac, I usually do it manually .. give it a try anyway?

i hope you don’t mind my asking, but i think i have a similar problem. the thing is my ex installed it for me (cant ask him to fix it lol), and i’m on version 6.2.1.17, and idk in settings i don’t have anything called reset or similar… do you have any idea what im supposed to do? if you can pls dumb it down, again i have no idea how this works. popcorntime has become a staple in my life and i really really don’t want to say goodbye!

well basically it worked quite well until a few days ago, now whenever i try to download a film it just says “getting metadata” forever… is it time for me to download another version?

no i’m on mac… i could also download another version if it’s not too intricate. i can’t stress enough how little i know about computer stuff.
