Goodbye
Update 15 March 2014 : Sorry friends, but we removed issue tracking because it was being used to link elsewhere.
Idea
To allow any computer user to watch movies easily streaming from torrents, without any particular knowledge.
Status
Under development (RC1) for Mac OSX - Windows - Linux.
APIs
Currently used:
RottenTomatoes for movies metadata.PirateBay Recent popular movies list.- YIFY movie torrents API.
- OpenSubtitles for subtitles
- TheMovieDB for movies metadata.
In discussion:
- SubtitleSeeker for subtitles.
Building
Dependencies
You will need nodejs and grunt:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
Build
Install the node modules:
$ npm install
Build with:
$ grunt nodewkbuild
By default it will build for your current platform however you can control that
by specifying a comma separated list of platforms in the platforms
option to
grunt:
$ grunt nodewkbuild --platforms=linux32,linux64,mac,win
You can also build for all platforms with:
$ grunt nodewkbuild --platforms=all
Any problem?
Regarding superagent dependency
Due to wrong browser verification on a dependency, this hard fix must be applied.
Replace node_modules/moviedb/node_modules/superagent/index.js
contents with:
// if (typeof window != 'undefined') {
// module.exports = require('./lib/superagent');
// } else if (process.env.SUPERAGENT_COV) {
// module.exports = require('./lib-cov/node');
// } else {
module.exports = require('./lib/node');
// }
Regarding Video, MP4 H264 Playback
- Info: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Support-mp3-and-h264-in-video-and-audio-tag
- Needed to build a custom build of node-webkit that adds h264 support (or you can download ready-to-go builds from https://file.ac/s4Lt3Vo6rls/)
- Alternatively, we can replace a .so and .dll file from the correspondent Chrome build to node-webkit and node-webkit.exe
Development
- Run
compass watch
in Terminal for CSS compiling and listen to future changes. - How to build with SublimeText
- Currently Gaze to watch all files and reload the app is disabled due to memory leaks and unstability.
- Run node-webkit from the root directory with --debug to enable debugging mode like so
node-webkit . --debug
