The “instantly” and “in no time” claims aren’t true, from our experience. Chromecast, Airplay, and DLNA support, “because we know that as much as it can be nice to watch things directly from your browser, watching them on the big screen is way better”.Watch video torrents instantly, directly from your browser “in the best quality possible, with built-in automatic subtitles in loads of languages to choose from”.Built-in VPN: “so you can enjoy complete anonymity while downloading and streaming torrents directly from your browser”.In Browser Torrent Client: “Just click on the torrent and start downloading and playing it easily and in no time”.Because the code is available on GitHub, any developer can potentially provide a similar experience to his or her users. “By using Torrents Time to play video, the Popcorn Time Online users are exposed to a viewing experience which is even better than the excellent experience they have enjoyed until now,” the developers tell VentureBeat. Torrents Time is what makes Popcorn Time Online not only function, but do so very efficiently. There is no need to download and install a separate BitTorrent client, download and open the torrent, nor go in and actually play the download video file. Torrents Time lets users download and play the files inside torrents with one click. Remember when isoHunt let anyone launch their own version of The Pirate Bay? That’s essentially what the Popcorn Time team is hoping to recreate. The developers see this as “a new era in which, for the first time, any developer could instantly produce a full functioning streaming site enabling all the features Popcorn Time enables as an application, but directly from a browser, with minimal bandwidth requirements.” Because the code is available on GitHub, anyone can simply download the Popcorn Time Online files, upload them to their web directory, and launch their own version. New features aside, the real big news is that anyone can now set up a fully functioning version of Popcorn Time Online. The team expects that the availability of content “will considerably increase from now on.” The quality level of the stream (720p and 1080p are both supported) is indicated on a per-torrent basis. The web-based Popcorn Time Online aims to bring everything directly into the browser.Īside from adding support for browsers, the creators claim Popcorn Time Online can play “almost every video format.” The existing Popcorn Time versions can’t do this because “many torrents contain unstreamable video formats.” Popcorn Time Onlineīut Popcorn Time is still an app. Because of the frequent improvements and updates, and because other domains have been suspended, it is seen as the most popular solution. It also has VPN support, and even works with Chromecast and the Apple TV. Originally launched under the domain, which has now been suspended, this version has apps for Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS. Popcorntime.io, one of the most popular forks, was shut down by the MPAA on November 3, 2015. The project has been forked multiple times by several development teams eager not just to keep the program alive, but to add new features. Popcorn Time gained a lot of fame a few years ago, but was abruptly taken down by its developers on Madue to pressure from the Motion Picture Association of America ( MPAA). The project started as an open-source BitTorrent client with an included media player. Sometimes referred to as the “Netflix for Torrents” or even the “Netflix for Pirates,” Popcorn Time is viewed as a major threat to Netflix, and to Hollywood in general. Many torrents contain pirated content, and so the tool really just makes pirating easier. Popcorn Time essentially automates the whole torrenting process for movies and TV shows.
