Here’s the Android lovin’ you’ve all been waiting for!!!

A new awesome Android version is available, you should automatically see on your device that there’s an update available. Accept the update and rock on!! If for some reason you didn’t see a notification from us regarding the update, just re-install the app here

So what’s new?

  1. Subtitles support on Chromecast!!! Yes, you’ve all been asking nicely for a while now, we promised that it was in the works, and here it is!!! Now you can watch Popcorn Time from your Android on your TV screen with subtitles!! Woohoo :)
    ***DESKTOP USERS: Since Google blocked our subtitles on Chromecast solution, we’ve been working very hard on finding a work around which will bring back the subtitles support on Chromecast for you all. We’re happy to say that we found a way to make this work and this solution will be released in a few days, so stay tuned!!
  2. Subtitles for TV shows!!! Yes, you’ve all been asking nicely for a while.. ;-)
  3. Favorites!! Mark what you want to watch so you can queue it up and watch it later!! Just click the <3 in the movie/TV show details view and it’s added to your favorites list. Don’t want it there anymore? Just give it a long “click” and it will be removed.
  4. Subtitles can be changed while watching a movie on your device or on Chromecast! In case you suddenly realize you speak a different language and you want to see subtitles in that language…
  5. On this new version you can also change the VLC player hardware acceleration in settings.
  6. Crash report!! This is awesome for us (and you as well!!). If application crashes you can easily send us a crash report so we’ll see what caused it to crash and fix it for next time…
  7. Portrait orientation
  8. We did some general bug fixes and improvements. In general. ;-)

Enjoy everyone!!! GOOOOOOO ANDROID!!

ios_is_here

We are gathered here today, friends, users, comrades, to celebrate the union of two beautiful souls.

The iOS family and Pochoclin.
These two have been meant for each other since the day Pochoclin was born…
It took them a few months to work things out as iOS’s family is very strict on some things, But now they’re here. Together at last. Joined by endless lines of code and love from Pochoclin’s family (our whole team of developers of course).

If anyone may object (NOT) let them speak now or forever hold their peace!

…………………………………….

………………………………………………………….. (applause!!!!)

By the power invested in us, a bunch of geeks from all over the world, we now pronounce you A BRAND NEW FABULOUS iOS APP!!!
You may give it a try :-)
Lol…
You can fetch our Cydia repository URL here: Popcorn Time for iOS

“How do you like them apples??” ;)

Cross platform here we come!!!

So we’ve kept this as kind of a secret, but one of the things we’ve been working hard on for the past couple of months is a cross platform desktop version all built in C++ which will be the same for Mac, Windows and Linux…

Also we added Chromecast and Airplay support for Mac and improved the Chromecast and Airplay support for Windows.

And, and we believe that you’ve been waiting anxiously to read these words coming from our mouths….

SUBTITLES support FOR CHROMECAST!!!
Yes, this one was a tough cookie, but we ate it and now you can cast all your favorite movies with their subtitles using Chromecast! ;-) Apple TV, you’re next to get subtitles, don’t worry.

Someone is trying to TRADEMARK Popcorn Time!!

Hey everyone,

We just found out something very disturbing… It seems as if someone is trying to trademark Popcorn Time.

Meaning making Popcorn Time their own and not a public project as it is today.

This is news to us and we’re still figuring out how to respond to this, but this is rude and it is something we take very seriously.

We assure you that we will never ever do something like this, and we will not let this happen that someone else will claim that it is their trademark. Never. An open source project is for everyone. It does not belong to us or to anyone else!

We will keep you posted on how this evolves….

 

New VPN infrastructure

Hey everyone,

We’re sure most of you have noticed that the built in VPN service wasn’t working well recently…

Well, we worked our asses off together with Kebrum, we built a brand new infrastructure which should be more stable to and good to secure all of you guys!!

So go a head and check it out, if there’s anything wrong with it still let us know on our forum, and that’s it.

Enjoy! :-)

Androiders- we’re sorry…

But it appears that all your free time from now on will be spent “veggy’ing” in front of your TV watching your favorite movies and TV shows which will be casting from your Android device… The health administration does advise getting up every hour or so to stretch your limbs, empty your bladder, and pay attention to your: Spouse/children/best friend/dog/cat/boyfriend/girlfriend/plants… Lol ;-)

So yes. Android beta 2.0 is finally here!!! http://time4popcorn.eu/android.html

And is case the first paragraph (which we found very amusing!!) wasn’t clear enough- Chromecast support is now available on Androids!!! (Mac users, don’t worry you’re next!!!).

And what else did we work so hard on??

1. Automatic updates- from now on all the new features, fixes and what not will update automatically while you sit back sipping a margarita!!
2. Native UI
3. Faster download of movies/TV shows- no more getting stuck at 96%… :)
4. Major bug fixes
5. More devices supported- If your device is still not supported please let us know in our forum, we started a thread especially for it here: http://forum.time4popcorn.eu/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=708

Coming up: Built in free VPN for Android!! It will be released on version beta 2.1 which is due in a week or so.. (if everything goes according to plan of course…)

Ladies and Gents, boys and girl, dear users, “the wind in our sails” (yes, that’s all of you!!), our friends:

Chromecast support is finally here!

chomcastpopcorn

Alpha 4.3 with Chromecast support for Windows is in alpha, get it here: http://time4popcorn.eu/alpha.html

We can’t tell you how happy we are today- this was a very challenging…. Challenge ;-)

We enjoyed it, but we hated keeping all of you waiting for so long- so now that it’s out, we’re PHEWWWWWW if you know what we mean!!
This is the alpha version, so handle with care and let us know what works, what doesn’t, and if you do find something that’s not working properly (hopefully not!!) let us know in our forum and be as specific as possible (also tell us which Windows version you’re running, etc.).
The beta version by the way, will be out and will update automatically in a week or so for those of you who choose to wait.
“To download the alpha or to wait for the beta?” It’s one of life’s more difficult dilemmas. We know.

**It’s not casting subtitles yet- it will take a bit longer until we start casting them, but we’re on it- no worries!

What else?

Applers (Mac’s):
In approx 2 weeks if everything goes according to plan you’ll have something new and much much better to play around with- beta 4.3 for Mac, with built in VPN (The Anonymous Apples- sounds like a name of a rock band, no?) and a whole new better infrastructure which will resolve many issues some of you were having!
Chromecast support is also in the works for Mac, but it will take a bit longer, so stay tuned for that.

Androiders:
Popcorn Time beta 0.2 for Android will be released this week (if everything goes according to plan) and it will have Chromecast support (yes!!!) and major bug fixes. We’re working UBER hard on making Popcorn Time work on all Android supporting devices, but there are so many out there- you can’t even believe how many, and each device has it’s own needs and requests and things it likes, and doesn’t like hehe… Kinda like women lol (women, we love you, can’t live without you!!) ;-)
So it may be a little longer until Pochoclin manages to satisfy all their different needs, but he will.

Many more exciting things are in the works… iOS in August (you didn’t hear it from us!!!) and more…

Yes, we definitely believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!!

Now go, download, and please please please- share Popcorn Time (time4popcorn.eu) with your friends!! Help us spread the word- it is all we ask of you!!

Lots of Popcorn Love,

Popcorn Time Team :-)

 

Google Play- WE’RE BACK!!!

So of course we would rather have the actual apk on the store, the one that Google removed in less than 24 hours after it was launched (they’ve had it in for Pochoclin ever since he was a baby POP).
BUT since we can’t have that as Google is not returning our calls (rude!!)we did create an app that enables the user to download the app in a jiffy!!
And also with this app you can update our new version releases in just one click as soon as they’re out.

Get it HERE your Androiders.

And don’t worry iOS’ers, you’re coming up next!

**3 days i t took them this time, but as probably you notice, this link isn’t working anymore… Damn Google.
The apk is still available for download on our homepage- from there, no one will be able to remove it!!!! :)
