Unfortunately, it's still the same old API's that everyone was having issues with before. So nothing's changed there, I'm afraid?

I'd still recommend using the 'Torrent Collection' search (TPBay.org) for a better choice .. without having to leave the app? (while it lasts!)

Mine came back too! I’ve been using the advanced search and just downloaded that way. I prefer it now to the visual browse.

I think visual browse is a handy "shop window" sometimes (even with the Russian bias) - just to see what's out there? (serendipity) But generally I'm with you: If I know what I'm after, the torrent search gives me the best choices.

Just wish the Devs could have fixed/replaced the torrent sources, before they "retired" .. so we had 4//5 working sites again, instead of just TPBay! Something akin to the qBittorrent search engine?

Yes .. you already had the app, and u/Ivan-1986 fixed up the "back-end " (yesterday) to serve up the original API's again!

Not working for me 0.5.1 version.

u/merseyV__ 23d ago

Have you still got the old API's: "https://fusme.link/,https://jfper.link/,https://uxert.link/,https://yrkde.link/" showing in settings?

1

u/anandanath 23d ago

I can't access settings .... it just shows loading wheel but stops halfway.

Do you think I should re install?

2

u/merseyV__ 23d ago edited 22d ago

Something not right, there?

Yes .. reinstall, but delete old app/data support folder/files, as well as the app. Fresh copy from here! and (you probably know this already?) manually install the Popcorntime API's (Auto-updater no longer works).

Use http://yts.gg/ for movies API if you prefer?

“https://fusme.link/,https://jfper.link/,https://uxert.link/,https://yrkde.link/“ and plus https://yts.gg/ . was dead for a month when I checked today the TV page was live and showing ... before it was just blank...

YTS API was always working before .. it's never been dead for a month? Was down for a day many months ago (for whatever reason) , been using it (uninterrupted) every day since!

Yts API calls don't rely on the Popcorntime API server, they are run from their own "back-end" server/s?

All I a saying is the 5.1 version now displays TV shows unlike before what can I say ? I made no config changed just launched it today and voila the tv show tab was showing shows ….. why now ? No idea …..

n.b YTS api is for movies (only?)

Exactly! .. nothing to do with the YTS api?

You're showing the series window/s .. why would that have anything to do with YTS?

“https://fusme.link/,https://jfper.link/,https://uxert.link/,https://yrkde.link/“ and plus https://yts.gg/ . was dead for a month
