I was able to track down the issue. The currently used version of node-webkit (0.12.2), which is based of Chromium 41.0.2272.76, has some limitation in the crypto stack when using the HTML5 img API.

The following node-webkit example is not fetching the image in nw 0.12.2, but in the current 0.13.0-rc2 (Chromium 49.0.2623.87).

I guess that between Chromium 41 and 49 this issue was fixed for Linux.
There are two ways to fix this issue:

  • Replace 'new Image' with an different implementation
  • Use nw 0.13.0-rc2

Im getting a lot of these messages in console
https://walter.trakt.us/images/movies/000/187/666/posters/medium/c2ccb26eb8.jpg Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Ive even tried a vpn to see was my isp blocking it
The movies play but just no movie images being shown

But when I click the link above the picture opens in my browser ??? strange !!!

The Trakt API had some problems this week, could be related.

Hey @vendforce, is this problem still happening?

Yes, I dont know thats wrong ... Ive removed the /root/.config/Popcorn-Time folder and tried it still no luck, images are not showing . I've tried installing an older version etc no matter what I do the images dont show, but when I click the link to the image in console mode it opens up in my browser showing the image

So Im perplexed to what is going on , Im now just doing things to eliminate the problem , disabling firewall, clearing all caches, trying a different internt connection , using a proxy etc

Ive since reinstall my operating system .. and retried popcorntime on a fresh install and its still the same, No images showing, Ive disabled firewall,rebooted and Im not using a proxy or anything that could block trakt but still no images , Is anyone else having this problem

EDIT :

Ive tried the git version and Im now getting this whats this ?? thats ugly !!!!!
I have to search for the latest films on google then enter the film in the search in poprcorntime thats too much work the layout is very ugly and not very Intuitive

Are you sure you pulled from https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop.git?

The previous error I can confirm but this last image shouldn't exist.

@vendforce that's not from the version supported here.

As @394394394 already posted, here is where you should build from.

https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop.git

That's from time4popcorn and not this fork https://popcorntime.sh/

Same here.

I'm running version 039267a11da9082c6a45cdb66e985c94519e3dd9 from the development branch.

@team-pct stable NW.js v0.13 was released yesterday http://nwjs.io/blog/whats-new-in-0.13/, maybe it would fix this?

Or by looking at those GH branch names, I'm hoping you are moving to electron?

Im having the same problem. Tried previous versions as well but still no luck

I also have the same problem on my Arch x64.

That's stange : On one up-to-date Archlinux Desktop, posters are shown, meanwhile on an up-to-date Arch laptop, it does not work.

same problem ubuntu 16.04

any fix for this?

Still not working, maybe somebody wants to compare to https://github.com/PopcornTimeCommunity/desktop ? that one is working for me

Downloaded the latest from Jenkins 3 minutes ago and ran on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Same problem.

I wish i could reproduce this

@vendforce I know that, but i want to solve this.
This issue is open a thousand years and i dont have an good environment to try reproduce. :ok_hand:

@vendforce sorry if you have been offended. I'll ignore your comment above and move on.
Thank you.

AND THE DICKHEAD A YEAR AWARD OF 2016 GOES TO ......... VitorVTS

Jesus, is there a way to delete the comments above? It's total waste of topic.

It is however sad that I have to rely on much less supported version,namely Community Edition, and commit to it (my pull requests in CE edition hasn't been accepted for weeks), just because this has some kind of weird issue that a billion people is having also.

I'm seeing the same thing as @micopiira

ptsh_https_issue

Does CE version and this use the same API? update: CE is using different API, namely YTS
ptce_no_problemo

@aurimus I see absolutely no reason not to use https in 2016, and this should be fixed.

Please see http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/a/15606

@vendforce it is sad to see that you are insulting a guy ( who by the way have no affiliation with Popcorn Time ) in the same time it is sad , so let me repeat THIS IS A FREE , Open Source , Community Project if you wanna fix this issue you are all welcome to PR !

Please see https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop/issues/49

Updating to nw 0.13.x would resolve this. Not a difficult task, but the only thing is that we have to rebuild nw with more codecs as stated on the upstream repo https://github.com/butterproject/butter-desktop/issues/339

@G-Ray we are working on that , if it is taking time , please read more on blog.popcorntime.sh , Thank you
