Popcorn Time was one of the most-discussed topics last month with contributors happy to chat and bathe in the publicity. Recently though, something has changed. Previously talkative developers have deleted their work, gone silent, disappeared, or all of the above. It's hard not to draw the obvious conclusion.

 

Spooky. That's extremely strange, and I dunno what could have happened, unless they were hit with a bunch of lawsuits, but if they were, wouldn't we know about it? Either way, I think we all want to know happened to them. For now, Popcorn Time is still available for download, but at this  point, it may not be for long [speculation].

is this bad? Im not sure, ive never used the service, well i hope the people that like it will enjoy it.

is this bad?

Yes and no. I mean, if they're being silent to focus in on development, then that's fine, but apparently they've always been really chatty, until now. It's just strange that they would go silent all of a sudden.

I have used the service a few times to watch films in 1080p. The quality is outstanding and is great if I am honest. The only problem I have with it is that the other people in my house use the internet to which means I can only watch stuff when they are out. We don't have much bandwidth.

the US goverment probably killed them

[KakaoDj]

FBI probably went all FBI on them

Maybe they went to the bathroom and will be back soon. Probably in their Federal prison cell.

Strange...

I must say though i have tried the app and the work they have done is Amazing!! It streamed content better than Youtube and Netflix, both huge services with tons of support, on my super slow 4mbps connection at 720p with out dropping or buffering once, if only the big players would use this open source stuff to increase the quality of there products instead of silencing them with lawsuits

Guessing you didn't actually read the article?

 

 

 

“All you need to know is that I’m still alive and moved on to others projects,” he wrote. “I can’t really tell you anything more than that and I won’t contribute anymore to popcorn-time.”

Skimmed. Either way, still strange.

That sucks, i was really hoping they would add tv shows to popcorn time.

Edit: wth somehow this got posted to the wrong thread, no clue what happened there.

Sucks. Used them a bit. It was a pretty good service. Sad to just see them "disappear" as it seems.
