@milankragujevic beautifully simple and very easy to use. It's a brilliant integration and almost replaces my xmbc setup.

Is this streaming from torrents? Or cloud based service?

@esbvn The server downloads the torrent and then uploads it to you, the visitor. Currently, it's impossible to download torrents to the browser. WebTorrent.io tried, but it only works with other web peers, not with traditional seedboxes and torrent clients.

@milankragujevic so it's "safe"?

@esbvn Safe for you (it's using SSL + no torrents), not safe for me, but I don't care. I'm here to make the world a better place no matter the cost.

@milankragujevic webtorrent.io is still in progress and I think you've misunderstood where the project is headed; it's a process that will take time to get other torrent clients (uTorrent, Vuze, etc) to adopt the new BEP protocol in order to interop with web peers, and this WILL happen. It is a fundamentally and significantly better approach than serving static downloads of torrents because hosting such a site would *not* be nearly as illegal and the distribution costs, scalability, and efficient high resolution streaming are all handled out of the box, all of which are next to impossible with the current approach unless you have Netflix-size resources at your disposal... I think popcorn time in your browser is a great and natural progression for the popcorn time movement and I'm totally in agreement that technology needs to drive change in the media space, but I think any serious entry here should have the expectation of being powered by webtorrent down the road. (disclaimer: I'm one of the core contributors to the webtorrent project)

@mattbrian Coming soon, probably in an hour or so. Edit: Unfortunately, there is an issue with videojs player and I can't add subtitles. The back end is in place, as soon as I solve that issue subtitles will be turned on.

@mattbrian After many hours of work (actually 2 hours), subtitles have been added! Test it out. I'm aware of UTF-8 encoding issues and garbled characters, but AFAIK desktop Popcorn Time suffers from that, too. That's just how encodings work. I'm sorry.
