Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Want to stay up to date with what is happening with PopcornTV? Try taking a look at our blog to stay updated! We try to post big things that we are working on over there :)

What is PopcornTV?

PopcornTV is a simple application that allows an Apple TV to play stream Movies and TV shows directly from torrents. It pulls from yts.to as well as the Popcorn Time TV API to allow users to watch most Movies and TV Shows Instantly.

How it works

PopcornTV works by hijacking the Trailers application on the Apple TV. In order to do this effectively we change the DNS server on the Apple TV to point to your own computer/server. This application was initially created in 24 hours as a proof of concept that you are able to stream torrents directly to an Apple TV by generating valid XML for it to read from. It has since grown into a much more full fledged application.

We pull all of our Movies from YTS by using the API that they provide. All TV shows use the Popcorn Time TV API

Bugs & Bug Reporting

Before reporting a bug, please take a look at our Bug Tracker for current known issues, if you cannot find your bug on there, please open up a new bug report by following these steps.

Version History

IRC

Have a burning question that you need answered, or just want to chat with the developers? The developers and some bug testers are hanging on IRC at #PopcornTV on Freenode (Click here if you do not have an IRC Client).

We do always reply, though sometimes it takes a little longer to respond if we are watching movies or coding.

Support/Donating

Due to the continued request of a few users I have found a way to get Paypal, Credit Card, and Bitcoin donations implemented into our system. There are currently two ways to donate. The first way is to directly donate to the project as a whole, this will either go directly to the developers, or put back into the program as incentive for bugs and features to be fixed/added.

You can directly donate to us using Paypal, Credit Cards, or Bitcoin right here. Just visit that website then select "Support PopcornTV". You can donate any amount you want! You can either do a one time donation, or if you want you can do a monthly donation :)

The second method is to post a bounty on an issue, what posting a bounty does is create a further incentive for a developer to fix an issue. By posting a bounty a developer can submit a fix and then get paid that bounty once their fix is implemented. Keep in mind that the bounty may not go to the main developers of PopcornTV, but rather whoever fixes that bug.

To post a bounty just select the issue you are interested in and go to the main post. At the bottom of the main post you should see something similar to this.

It will take you a page to pay into the bounty, once your bounty is added you should get a notification, and the topic of the issue will be changed to include your amount posted as well as the footer.

So for example if you were to post a bounty of $5 it would look something like this.
