PyCorn Time
PyCorn Time is a clone of the popular project Popcorntime, but it is implemented in Python and doesn't have a graphical user interface but a command line interface.
Pre-Requisites
In order to work correctly PyCorn needs a few things already installed:
- A media player, the default is mplayer, but you can change this as shown below
- Peerflix for streaming the torrents
- BeautifulSoup, this is used to get parse html from eztv.it
To install them, you can run the following commands:
$ # Mplayer
$ pacman -S mplayer # For archlinux
$ apt-get install mplayer # For debian/ubuntu/mint
$ yum install mplayer # For fedora/redhat
$ # Peerflix
$ pacaur -S peerflix # Or use another aur-helper on archlinux
$ npm install -g peerflix # For all others
$ # BeautifulSoup
$ pip install beautifulsoup4
Installing
To install PyCorn Time simply clone the github repository and run the setup.py file:
$ git clone https://github.com/sacovo/pycorn-time.git
$ cd pycorn-time
$ python setup.py install # This might require root
After installing you can run the program: ´´´ $ pycorntime ´´´
Configuration
To configure the behavior of the program you can use the file ´~/.pycorn.conf´. After the first a default file will be written:
