I get the point they're trying to convey, but considering this is not the original Popcorn Time team, and there is at least one competing team, and as a community they still probably have some core team here (e.g, the guy who wrote this blog post), it would help to clarify more than "We're a community". Who owns the domain? Who compiles the builds? Etc.

I compile the builds. And just giving you a heads up, watch the video. Many of our team members have been there from the start. Original team.

OT: is this domain also owned by Popcorn Time guys? https://popcorn-time.se/

I noticed a difference that these guys also offer iOS version.

Two different teams, both forks of the original Popcorn Time project. As far as I remember, the team with the .io domain may have one or more members of the original project. I have seen on their sub-reddit, they do have an air of arrogance and spread a lot of a FUD around the team with the .se domain.

No, these groups had a significant war of words, especially when the build source for the binaries at the site you link was unavailable for some time. It was suggested that this late-comer was dangerous, but there are no other specifics for these claims of malicious intent that I've seen.

If you look again you'll find on reddit quite a few posts about malware regarding them.

Do you have an official blog post and clarifying you don't own .se domain and that project is run by different people? If not, I think you should write one.

...time to adjust the front page algorithm again.

Better question is, who's sponsoring the vpn company behind popcorn time? Is it an mpaa honeypot?

Popcorn-time.io doesn't have the VPN sponsership, that's popcorn-time.se.

Edit: removed "weasely" phrase, and incorrect claim about source code.

Edit2, the VPN doesn't seem to work anyway. Unable to get anything to play when it's connected.

Now you're spreading FUD the same way popcorntime.io has. First of all, popcorn-time.se is not closed source[0], and "many have said is less reputable" is both a weasly phrase, and doesn't really mean anything.

I'm not affiliated with any popcorn time team, I'm just not a fan of throwing around FUD, it's totally unnecessary.

popcorntime.io also comes with a vpn now, from https://vpn.ht/popcorntime, but you have to create an account separately.

AFAIK that's a third-party commercial VPN company that they made an arrangement with. What's weird about the popcorn-time.se VPN is that it's built-in and free.

I believe it is popcorn-time.se that has a built in VPN, not popcorntime.io.

Clear as mud.

what did they use to create the video animation of git updates? I want to try visualizing other projects.

I can't load the site at the minute, so I don't know, but I've used gource[1] before, with great results
