Hi notice that when we click on a tv show the frame of the poster is zoomming it's not really dramatic but its not very beautiful because didn't see the poster completly ex: when I click on arrow tv show only see is chest but the small view of the poster are ok It's just when we click on it It's dosen't fit at all lol :)

thanks in advance :)

when running this as a service on ubuntu, the scraper finds the initial shows and scrapes them all then never runs again. I'm not sure how to approach this problem, help would be appreciated.

Hi,

in the version of the popcorntime.sh , where a insert the http:127.0.0.1 for fetching the content ?

Maybe make the API select only the best torrent for the selected episode / quality instead of showing multi provider and let Popcorn Time select the torrent

Sorry if this is dumb, but I'm new to Mongo/NodeJs, etc. I am an experienced C# web developer though, so I should be able to figure this out.

I cloned the repo to C:\Web\popcorn-api
Opened PowerShell (As Administrator) >

cd C:\Web\popcorn-api
npm install
npm start

and I receive the error "node: bad option: --harmony_destructuring"

The full error is below and npm-debug.txt is attached. I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2.

Thanks in advance!

Would be amazing to have it alongside kat and eztv. Not asking anyone to do it, like, now, just a humble request for future(far future) releases

Empty responses are usually returned for imdb_ids that don't exist on popcorn.

But sometimes empty responses are returned for an existing imdb_id, for example tt1469304.

This is reproducible from the docs page (https://popcorntime.api-docs.io/api/movie) and directly from the browser:
https://tv-v2.api-fetch.website/movie/tt1469304

Since Trakt removed images yesterday, I noticed this API started pulling images from Fanart.tv. Because fanart uses arbitrary image urls, it is not possible to replace image size without making an API call directly to fanart (instead of replacing "original" with "thumb" or "medium" like you used to be able to when images were pulled from Trakt). This leads to extremely slow loading times as all the images are really high resolution.

As a compromise we were forced to grab images from tmdb, but obviously to use tmdb, you need a tmdbId (duh). This means making a call to trakt to get the tmdb id, and then to tmdb, wasting even more time.

Since Trakt is already used for grabbing metadata, would it be possible to also take tmdb id from trakt and add it to show and movie objects? This would really be a huge help.

Thanks.

Hi, I am pretty new with popcorntime and my experience so far is great, it has everyting i want to watch (Movies, TV series and Anime) in one place in HD, but there is one problem the anime covers are not loading. I already tried reinstalling popcorntime but it did not work, are there more people having this problem or is it just me? And is there a fix or solution?
Sorry for my bad english :)

There are a lot of shows which don't have healthy torrents for each episode, but have at least one healthy torrent for each whole season. The show providers could be modified to search for common "whole season" torrent naming schemes. This should greatly increase the number of available shows, mostly those older than a year or two.

Examples

• Some Show - Seasons 1 Complete
• Show X - season one [complete]

The show providers would need to retrieve the torrent metadata (torrent file is more direct, but obviously possible with magnet links), then try to match the episodes with the files in the torrent. Episode file names almost always match [Ss]\d\d[Ee]\d\d or \d\dx\d\d or similar scheme.

How can i do this ???

Its possible just to show only contend that i have added ?

Hello , there is a lot of seasons and episodes missing in the API like season 1 does not even exist in Game of thrones and others

MongoDB v3.2 has a sorting limit for 32MB (as documented here). This does become an issue with sorting on 'updated'. There is a fix for this issue for the other sorting options (name, rating, trending, year), this involves 'aggregation'.
Sadly I have not found a way to apply this fix to the 'updated' sorting option as it sorts on a key-value pair which is inside of an array as you can see here. I did try to overcome this by using the 'unwind' and 'group' opperators, but without success.

Hello there,

recently the API seems to be having some trouble handling all search terms, for example, searching for only 1 character always works, 2 almost never works, but searching for the entire name always works, so for example:

"S" > Returns
"Su" > Does not return
"Super" > Returns

This seems to affect not only PopcornTime's search feature, but also the API results directly.

This is a suggestion for a possible improvement.
Search API for both movie and series returns results for exact matches on words contained in the search query.

As an example querying for 'simpson' returns no results while querying for 'simpsons' does.

I reckon it would be a good improvement to include search results where the search string is contained as opposed to an exact match to a movie title.

Hello!

I just downloaded the repo and tried to start the api. I am getting the following error:

Cron job started
EZTV: Starting scraping...
Error while scraping: Error: ETIMEDOUT with link: 'showlist/'

My steps:
I ran the code as stated in the readme file. Installed node 4.2.2 and installed mongodb via brew. Started mongodb and npm installed and started the api.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have a dump of some database set up?

The export route has been working for a while but now responds with status 500 and this body:

{ "error": "Error: no such file found for '/root/chris/popcorn-api/tmp/animes.json'" }

On the #236 build of popcorn time, the close button on top right after watching a serie or movie does not do anything, making it impossible to close the window, forcing you to force close popcorn time and restart it to watch something else.

Have a route which allows you download the content of the MongoDB database. This file should be a compressed, because I do not know how big the file will be. This file also needs to be easily imported back into the database or another database. This way different hosts hosting the API can profit from each other as they might have different content providers and/or kat providers. It would be nice if the import can be done through the CLI part of the API.

Some movie/episode/show's have unparsed ampersands in string variables. Not sure if this is a bug or if it is done on purpose as the desktop app displays it correctly.

When a replacement API is finished the domain module will be deprecated. Will need to change from the domain module to the replacement API.

https://nodejs.org/api/domain.html

We are using objects only for responses with variable key names, this difficults the parsing process and the model definition (we are forced to use any getter or any setter annotations), an example for common torrents:

"torrents": {
	"en": {
		"1080p": {
			"url": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:DC5E0F28C56CBB93E57FC11CA8E56CC79A5D2E13",
			"seed": 777,
			"peer": 276,
			"size": 1771674010,
			"filesize": "1.65 GB",
			"provider": "YTS"
		},
		"720p": {
			"url": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1C12E9D7A919113C923EF20089E7435890A12933",
			"seed": 611,
			"peer": 170,
			"size": 787847578,
			"filesize": "751.35 MB",
			"provider": "YTS"
		}
	}
}

we should use an appropiate format like this

"torrents": [{
	"language": "en",
	"qualities": [{
		"quality": "1080p",
		"url": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:DC5E0F28C56CBB93E57FC11CA8E56CC79A5D2E13",
		"seed": 777,
		"peer": 276,
		"size": 1771674010,
		"filesize": "1.65 GB",
		"provider": "YTS"
	},
	{
		"quality": "720p",
		"url": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1C12E9D7A919113C923EF20089E7435890A12933",
		"seed": 611,
		"peer": 170,
		"size": 787847578,
		"filesize": "751.35 MB",
		"provider": "YTS"
	}]
},
{
	"language": "es",
	"qualities": [{
		"quality": "1080p",
		"url": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:DC5E0F28C56CBB93E57FC11CA8E56CC79A5D2E13",
		"seed": 777,
		"peer": 276,
		"size": 1771674010,
		"filesize": "1.65 GB",
		"provider": "YTS"
	},
	{
		"quality": "720p",
		"url": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1C12E9D7A919113C923EF20089E7435890A12933",
		"seed": 611,
		"peer": 170,
		"size": 787847578,
		"filesize": "751.35 MB",
		"provider": "YTS"
	}]
}]

Obviously, this will cause an impact in the desktop and Android app response treatment.

@ChrisAlderson
Branch 103 is not adding any seasons/episodes to shows!

this fix is to add change data.<thing> to data.episodes.<thing>

here is the fixed code for lib\eztv.js specificly the function getShowData lines 86 to 101

if (title.match(seasonBased) || title.match(vtv)) {
  season = parseInt(title.match(seasonBased)[1], 10);
  episode = parseInt(title.match(seasonBased)[2], 10);
  data.episodes.dateBased = false;
} else if (title.match(dateBased)) {
  season = title.match(dateBased)[1];
  episode = title.match(dateBased)[2].replace(/\s/g, "-");
  data.episodes.dateBased = true;
}

if (season && episode) {
  if (!data.episodes[season]) data.episodes[season] = {};
  if (!data.episodes[season][episode]) data.episodes[season][episode] = {};
  if (!data.episodes[season][episode][quality] || title.toLowerCase().indexOf("repack") > -1)
    data.episodes[season][episode][quality] = torrent;
}

Can Search be added back into the API? I planned on using it for a project but I discovered it was disabled.

Update: If possible, could the last updated API be reenabled again as well?

/movies/1?keywords=Independence%20Day:%20Resurgence doesn't return any results. It's seems it is due to the :.

Oh, and maybe we could add searching for imdb key? Would make other things so much easier :)

This way, by excluding content with low number of votes, a better sorting by ratings would be possible.

See issue 358 on popcorn-desktop.

When updating popcorn time using the builds provided on ci.popcorntime.sh, the installer always completely wipes out the old popcorn time folders including user data making you lose your favorites and seen markers.

I would propose to just update what has changed and to never delete the user data folder.

when i put the http://localhost:5000/ in the movies API...

Dont show noting !

PS: Works fine in the Shows Section ....

See issues 389 and 392 on popcorn-desktop.

Right now the API uses "num_seasons" to tell how many seasons of a certain show are available through the API, but this is quite confusing and definitely misleading when seen on PT. This way, would be better to use "num_seasons" to tell how many seasons a certain show has and create "avail_seasons" to tell how many seasons are available through the API.

Did gulp build of the latest master (v2.2.0) and tried to invoke the CLI by -

./popcorn-api.js -c movie

After inputting all of information, the error pops up -

An error occurred: ReferenceError: logger is not defined

Backtracking through all codes, I figured it was due to the logger not being referenced in moviehelper.js Although I'm not too sure how I'm supposed to reference logger to something.

I was just wondering, because the current Movies and TV apis are quite bad 😃

Thanks!

If we can have some provider from extra torrent maybe that scrap Spanish / French Movies to start with

Problem:
Turns out that thumbnail images are mostly fetched from fanart. Unfortunately this service has a slow response time.

I have noticed that some images are trying to be fetched from walter.trakt.us and they fail because this service has been moved to walter.trakt.tv.

Solution:
Consider switching the image fetching to https://walter.trakt.tv/

There are a several genre's listed in the documentation which don't function on the movies API, will these be re-intergraded or removed?

Examples

• Disaster
• Fan Film
• Holiday
• Indie

Tv shows Are missing Seasons and Episodes Please Fix

For example the trailer for Finding Dory: http://tv-v2.api-fetch.website/movies/1?keywords=dory

The value is "false", it being null or just "" would be beter.

Scan missing episodes on every seasons , query the missing episodes by Title + sXXeYY *( Maybe using Kat-api )

Hello!

I'm using api.torrentsapi.com (not sure if it yours or not) to show popcorn home page in my application (opensource) and it have broken paging functionality.

When you run simple request for 15 movies to see here is a lot to return, then try the same for 5 movies and page=2 it will return empty list;

http://api.torrentsapi.com/list?sort=seeds&count=15&page=2&keywords=game

Type for anime content needs to be changed from show to tvshow inside the database.

db.animes.update({type: 'show'}, {$set: {type: 'tvshow'}}, {multi: true})

Hi,
I am a fan of the Apple TV PopcornTV version and use it with pleasure. The makers (alias FlavioBondJamesBondsHusband) redirect me to this forum. Currently the above mentioned shows seem not to have any episodes. In the desktop version and Butter CE version these shows can be streamed without problems, but not in the PopCornTV app. It seems there is an API issue?

Could you fix this, so I can go for the brainless end of day moment again with my favorite app?

See https://apiblog.trakt.tv/trakt-api-images-56b43c356427

Refresh metadata every XX Hours is needed to get new trait data for trending / popularity / and Posters / covers

Movies and TV Shows from Bollywood not available. I tried searching it too.

https://eztv.ag/search/last-week

there are a few episodes that are date based here, this seems to prevent the entire show from being added to the database

I would like to suggest a /status endpoint and move the info from / to it ?
