#Popcorn time Dependency Status

Update 15 March 2014 : Sorry friends, but we removed issue tracking because it was being used to link elsewhere.

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

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
